Employment mela in Mangalore from September 24

September 12, 2011

Mangalore, Sep 14: Zilla Panchayat President K T Shailaja Bhat has asked all the officials of Zilla Panchayat to work towards the progress of the district.

Speaking at the monthly Karnataka Development Programmes review meeting here on Monday, she urged the officials to select the beneficiaries and give them the facilities provided by the government.

The ZP Chief also said that an employment mela will be held at TMA Pai Convention Centre on September 24 and 25 and urged the officials to make it a success.

Zilla Panchayat CEO Dr K N Vijayaprakash said land should be left aside for developing road in future while constructing houses/ buildings in rural areas as well.

There is a need to create awareness among the rural folks on the same.

The rules are being violated while constructing houses, buildings and compound walls, said Standing Committee President Eshwar Kateel.

Though the rules state that the owners of the houses should seek permission from the Panchayat while constructing compound wall, this is not being followed.

The roads have been illegally acquired to construct compound walls in villages, he added.

The CEO directed Taluk Panchayat Executive Officers to provide complete details on the list of site less under Asharaya and Ambedkar Housing Schemes within a week.

Zilla Panchayat Deputy Secretary Shivarame Gowda said that Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme is yet to be implemented in 32 Gram Panchayats in the district.

Zilla Panchayat Vice-President Dhanalakshmi and others were present.

Mangaluru Tees Off Big: Golf Excellence Academy to Open at Pilikula

News Network

February 1,2026

The coastal city of Mangaluru is gearing up for a major sporting milestone with the launch of a Golf Excellence Academy at the Pilikula Golf Club (PGC), scheduled to open on May 31. The initiative aims to position Mangaluru firmly on India’s national golfing map.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday during PGC’s first-ever floodlit Pro-Am tournament, club captain Manoj Kumar Shetty said the project is being funded by UAE-based philanthropist Michael D’Souza and is currently in the design phase. Experts from leading golf academies across the country are expected to visit Mangaluru to help shape the training programme and infrastructure.

The academy will train 20 young golfers at a time, with a long-term vision of producing national-level players from the region. Until now, PGC relied on an in-house coach, but the recent renovation of the course and the introduction of floodlights have opened new possibilities for expanding the sport.

Shetty said discussions are underway with two reputed coaching academies, whose heads are expected to visit PGC shortly. “A dormitory for trainers is already under construction. We are inviting academies to assess the facilities and suggest changes so we can build a truly world-class Golf Excellence Academy,” he said.

Professional golfer Aryan Roopa Anand noted that the floodlit course would be a game-changer for young players. “Students can now practise after school hours, even up to 8 or 9 pm, without compromising on academics,” he said.
