Siddaramaiah to launch Yuva Nidhi scheme in Shivamogga on Jan 12 to provide monthly allowances to unemployed degree/diploma holders.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will launch the Yuva Nidhi scheme, which aims to provide monthly allowances to unemployed degree and diploma holders, in Shivamogga on January 12, the day when national youth day is celebrated to mark Swamy Vivekananda’s birth anniversary.
School Education and Literacy Minister Madhu Bangarappa, speaking to the media in Shivamogga on Dec. 24, said the registration for Yuva Nidhi will begin on December 26. The launch of the scheme, one of the five guarantees that the Congress promised in its election manifesto, will be held at Freedom Park in the city.
Besides the CM, many Ministers of the Cabinet will take part in the programme. The allowance would be released to the eligible applicants on that day, he said.
Further, the Minister said that his department had decided to earmark funds for cleaning work in schools. “Children should not be involved in the cleaning work. If any teacher violates this rule, he or she faces legal action,” he said.
The Minister also said that all schools would have sufficient benches so that no child would sit on the floor from the next academic year, he added.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
