Dharwad, Mar 1: Karnataka Primary & Secondary Education Minister S Sureshkumar on Monday said that the SSLC examinations would be held from June 21 till July 5.

Announcing the time-table here he said that the government had announced a temporary date to hold the exam and had invited objections from the public. As the one- month time to raise objections and also to give suggestions ended on February 26, the department has decided to hold the SSLC examination from June 21.

The time-table is as follows: June 21-first language (Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, English and Sanskrit), June 24-Mathematics, June 28- Science, June 30- third language (Hindi, Kannada, English, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Sanskrit, Konkani and Tulu), July 2-Second language (English, Kannada), and on June 5-Social Studies.

This time the examination will be different since the syllabus had to be shrunk as the schools could not be opened till January. To see that no pressure is mounted on students and simultaneously to ensure that the students are not deprived of knowledge, the chapters which are not linked to PUC first year have been dropped from the syllabus, the minister said.

To conduct the examination and improve the passing percentage, headmasters workshop will be held in every district and best practices will be adopted, he said.

On starting schools from first standard till fifth standard, the minister said that if everything had gone right, the primary schools should have started today. But, including Karnataka, there is a surge in Covid-19 positive cases in six other states. Thereby, the department has decided to take a final call in the next seven days on starting classes of first standard to fifth standard after consultation with the Health Department.

Mangaluru: Urban local bodies and gram panchayats should make the use of Kannada on signboards mandatory while issuing trade licences to commercial establishments, Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Darshan HV said. He also called for regular inspections to ensure compliance.

Presiding over the District Kannada Awareness Committee meeting at the deputy commissioner’s office, Darshan said the city corporation would be directed to ensure that shops operating in malls prominently display their names in Kannada. “All commercial establishments, including shops, companies, offices and hotels, must mandatorily display their names in Kannada on signboards,” he said.

The deputy commissioner added that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) would be instructed to include Kannada on signboards along national highways. Banks, he said, would be directed through committee meetings to provide application forms in Kannada.

“Even if English-medium schools and colleges impart education in English, their signboards must display the institution’s name in Kannada. Steps will also be taken to ensure that private buses display place names in Kannada,” Darshan said.

During the meeting, committee members raised concerns over the closure of Kannada-medium schools in rural areas due to a shortage of teachers and stressed the need for immediate corrective measures. They also pointed out that several industries employ workers from other states while overlooking local candidates.

Members further demanded that nationalised banks provide deposit and withdrawal slips in Kannada. It was brought to the deputy commissioner’s notice that the presence of staff without knowledge of Kannada in rural branches of nationalised banks is causing hardship to local customers.

Meanwhile, MP Srinath, president of the District Kannada Sahitya Parishat, urged the district administration to allot land for the construction of a district Kannada Bhavana in Mangaluru.
