- PARVEZ SULTAN

The approval to set up new schools was taken in the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The expansion of one existing KV Shivamogga in Karnataka has also been sanctioned.

The administrative structure for implementing the project will require creation of posts on a par with the norms fixed by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan for running one full-fledged school with a capacity of approximately 960 students.

"The decision will benefit 82,560 students. New employment opportunities will be created. After a very long time, expansion of KVs has taken place," Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw briefed media.

THE Karnataka government has announced setting up of an expert panel to examine the tiger safari issue which was stopped some time ago after the forest minister Ishwar Khandre received complaints from local villagers about disturbance caused by lights, noise and crowds in Bandipur due to excessive safaris. The minister personally visited Bandipur following the surge in human-tiger conflict in the area which resulted in a series of attacks during October-November, leading to deaths of three persons and permanently disabling another.
