‘Not even 1/4th of our claim’: Karnataka slams 3.4k crore drought aid
Saturday, 27 April 2024 Nearly six months after Karnataka submitted a memorandum, the state on Saturday finally received Rs 3,454 crore from Centre under Natural Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) to counter the prevailing drought situation. This, however, is way short of Karnataka’s initial demand of Rs 18,174 crore, which included Rs 5,662 crore for compensation to farmers.
Urdu proficiency is now mandatory for Anganwadi teacher applicants in Mudigere and Chikkamagaluru districts, as per a notification by Karnataka's Congress government. The BJP criticized this requirement, accusing the Congress of engaging in appeasement politics. The issue gained attention after the Department of Women and Child Welfare issued an official order mandating Urdu knowledge for candidates in these districts. This directive has sparked a political debate.

In a state like Karnataka, where language has been a deeply emotional issue, the recent mandate by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government to make proficiency in Urdu a criterion for Anganwadi teachers in Mudigere and Chikkamagaluru has stirred a fresh wave of controversy.
The decision, which has already sparked protests and political outcry, not only threatens to alienate a section of the state's population but also risks further damaging the delicate social fabric of Karnataka.
