Moulana Azad National Urdu University to set up satellite centre in Bidar

Moulana Azad National Urdu University, based in Hyderabad, will set up an off-site campus in Bidar that comprises, an Urdu-medium CBSE school, a polytechnic and a teachers training centre.

Minister for Human Resources Development M.M. Pallam Raju will lay the foundation stone for the campus on November 30. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Higher Education Minister R.V. Deshpande are expected to be present.

The campus will come up on government land near Bidar. Till the construction is complete, the school and colleges will run in rented buildings. The former MLC Khaji Arshed Ali said the project had the potential to change the educational scenario in the district.

“The quality of education is perennially low here and a model school is the need of the hour. Vocational training institutions like ITI and polytechnic will be of great help. The teachers training institute will help address the problem of shortage of teachers,” he said.

Yousuf Raheem Bidri, convenor of Yarane Adab, an association of Urdu lovers, said that Bidar has a large population of Urdu-speaking people. Urdu is not restricted to Muslims here. Historically, generations have been educated in Urdu medium, he said. “Setting up an off-site campus is part of the university’s mandate. However, it can be only be sanctioned when the State government expresses interest,” N. Dharam Singh, MP said. He said he would seek financial support from the Union and State governments to build the campus.

Background

Bidar is among the 90 minority concentrated districts in the country with minorities forming nearly a third of the population, selected by the Union government. The multi-sector development plan implemented based on the recommendations of the Rajendra Sachar committee is underway in Bidar.

The proposal to set-up an off-site campus was sent to the university by Mr. Singh in 2010.

The State government had directed the district administration to hand over 10 acres of land to the university for the construction of the campus. Sameer Shukla, the then Deputy Commissioner, identified land near Malkapur village on the outskirts of the city.

However, part of it turned out to be forest land under ‘C’ and ‘D’ category. The land for the university was finally found near Solpur village in Bidar taluk.

Rs 500 crore agri package for Bidar: Byre Gowda

Bidar district will soon get Rs 500 crore as part of Union government’s ‘Agriculture Package’, said Agriculture Minister Krishna Byre Gowda.

He was speaking after inaugurating ‘Krishi Utsava’ and Horticulture Mela at the Horticulture College near Shahar Hanuman Temple here on Sunday. The Centre has already released `29 crore under the package, he added.

‘Increase yield’

The minister said instead of demanding a higher price for agriculture produce, farmers should try to increase crop yield by adopting latest innovations.

He said, “Nowadays farmers are demanding higher price for their crops which is being opposed by consumers. Farmers have not reached even 50 per cent of their crop production capacity.”

Byre Gowda said the government has been trying to organise Krishi Mela in all districts so as to popularise the latest innovations in agriculture and pave way for spreading the knowledge of agriculture scientists and progressive farmers to all other farmers.

Justice to farmers

He said, “Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has set up the Agriculture Commission for providing justice to the farming community.”

The commission has been allocated `1,500 crore. It will make recommendations to the Cabinet sub-committee regarding fixing of prices for various agriculture produce, he added.

Former chief minister and Bidar Lok Sabha member N Dharam Singh said Bidar has been neglected in all fields.

He alleged that the BJP MLAs and MLCs did not attend the mela due to Narendra Modi’s rally in Bangalore.

MLA Gurupadappa Nagamarpalli, Bhalki MLA Eshwar Khandre, Raichur Agriculture University Vice-chancellor Dr B V Patil, Bagalkot Horticulture University Vice-chancellor Dr S B Dandeen, Agriculture Director and Incharge Commissioner of Agriculture Dr G K Dharam Rajan, Water Shed Department Commissioner H G Shivanand Murthi, Deputy Commissioner P C Jaffer, Zilla Panchayat CEO Ujjwal Kumar Ghosh, Superintendent of Police Thiyagarajan K, Veerannna Patil, Tadola Seer, Akbar Khan and others were present.

8-lane road to link Bidar, Chamarajnagar

The State government has appointed the Karnataka Road Development Corporation Limited (KRDCL) as the nodal agency to execute
The State government has appointed the Karnataka Road Development Corporation Limited (KRDCL) as the nodal agency to execute the ‘Kalyana Patha’ project that proposes to develop the existing roads connecting Chamarajanagar with Bidar into a eight-lane road.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had announced the project in the revised budget proposal for 2013-14 presented in July this year, in a bid to encourage the development of industries, colonies and small towns along the 850-km stretch connecting the two cities located at the southern and northern tips of the State. It was also one of the promises made by the Congress in its Assembly election manifesto.

According to officials in the Public Works Department (PWD), the project involves improving and widening existing stretches, depending on traffic density and other local requirements.

The data obtained from the traffic census conducted by the PWD in 2011 would be utilised for the purpose, they said. Officials in KRDCL said Expression of Interest from consultants to prepare a feasibility report for the project would be invited soon. The Detailed Project Report would follow the feasibility report.

The project involves developing major district roads and State highways. Several stretches taken up for improvement under the Karnataka State Highway Development Project, with the assistance of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, and the State Highway Development Project taken up for strengthening the State highways could be integrated as part of the project, the officials said. The State has a total of 20,770 km of State highways and 49,959 km of major district roads.

The State government has entrusted the PWD chief engineers (north and south zones) with the task of submitting a report on its two other proposals of converting roads connecting one district headquarters with the neighbouring district headquarters into four-lane stretches and roads connecting district headquarters with taluk headquarters into two-lane stretches.

Siddaramaiah, his Cabinet colleagues and senior officials of the government, during their recent interaction with the 14th Finance Commission headed by former governor of Reserve Bank of India Y V Reddy, had sought that the panel recommend that the Centre provide special grants to the State for executing the three projects.

Need to promote heritage tourism in Bidar stressed

Bidar has such a potential for heritage tourism that it can be developed into one of the most important places on the heritage map of India, a senior heritage tourism promoter has said.

Speaking at a meeting of stakeholders here on Thursday, Debashish Nayak, director, Centre for Heritage Management, Ahmedabad University, said that Karez, the underground water supply canal system built in the medieval period, town planning designs, and the fortification in Bidar were unique. Using these as the base, promotion of heritage could be taken up on a comprehensive scale, he said.

He cited examples from cities like Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Patiala and Amritsar that had successfully promoted heritage tourism.

He urged the district administration to utilise schools and colleges to promote discussions about heritage conservation and tourism promotion. A series of art, photography and sculpture workshops were conducted using colleges and universities in Ahmedabad and Jaipur. This not only created awareness about tourism promotion efforts being taken up by the government, but also ensured that visitors gained a lot of knowledge about history and culture of these towns, Dr. Nayak said. He gave tips to officers on how to utilise MP and MLA local area development funds for heritage conservation works and to ensure coordination of various departments to ensure fast results. He told them to form clusters of handicraftsmen, weavers, folk artists and classical musicians and performers so that they can be used in tourism promotion efforts.

He urged volunteers to develop a sense of involvement with the city and its monuments. A city’s heritage has to be conserved by its residents. Officials will come and go. Residents can not depend on them for carrying on the effort of heritage conservation, he said.

He observed that builders and traders took greater interest in heritage conservation after they realised that it increased their profits.

He said that Heritage Walks were the most visible of tourism promotion measures. Tourists were attracted to cities through such walks. He said that Ahmedabad was among the first Indian cities to be included in the World Monument Fund list in 1996. Bidar had been listed this year.
