Mallamma who had sacrificed her entire fortune to continue the good work initiated by her husband Sri. Gurikar Marimallappa. Today, the heritage building that houses higher primary, high school and pre-university college stands testimony to Smt. Mallamma’s efforts to fulfill her husband’s ardent wish to provide education to the poor and the needy. Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts and Commerce College is the brainchild of Sri. K.N. Shivalingaiah, the then Secretary of our Institution who contributed enormously in every possible way for the all-round development of the institution. He undertook educational tours to European and Commonwealth countries to study the education system prevalent in those countries and made use of his rich experience to promote education here. He built an entire block of spacious classrooms in the name of his father Sri. Nanjappaiah and daughter Smt.K.S. Kumuda, donating the entire amount from his personal account. Being blessed by such great souls the Degree College has crossed many milestones in its three decades of its existence and continues to strive towards its goal of providing value based education. Criterion – I : Curricular Aspects : Our college offers a three year undergraduate course in Arts and Commerce taught under the semester scheme. The curriculum adopted is prescribed by the University of Mysore for affiliated colleges. However, as our senior teachers are involved in the curriculum designing, valuable inputs from them have enriched the curriculum. Bridge Courses for new entrants are conducted for freshers after the Orientation Programme. The Principal and the Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts & Commerce College, Mysore 15 Self Study Report (II Cycle) Heads of the Departments chalk out an Action Plan for the effective deployment of curriculum. Efforts are made by individual teachers to enrich the curriculum by way of additional inputs. The College has given a thrust to employing new teaching methods as use of information and communication technology has been gaining ground in the field of education. Internet facility is provided to both staff and students to make curriculum

  • INTRODUCTION the Tropical Rain Forest Is the Most Complex Eco
    INTRODUCTION The tropical rain forest is the most complex eco­ system on the earth. It is the richest of all ecological communities in terms of number of species of all types of groups within the plant Icingdom viz; higher angiospermic plants, epiphytes, parasites, bryophytes, lichens, etc. Many closely related species are found in the same general area although each species is represented by only a small number of individuals (Richards, P.W., 1973). Since the past, the tropical forest has been an important source of knov/ledge about nature and the human environment. These tropical rain forests still remain the largest scientifically unexplored regions of the world. Even among those species that have been named and described from these regions; we know virtually very little or almost nothing about their biological characteristics. In addition to this, these forests are retreating very fast. In 1975, the following estimates of cumulative destruction of tropical forests were made by the FAO and UNESCO : 2 Original area of Tropical : 16 million km . Rain Forest (World) 2 Area in 1975 : 9.36 million km . (Reduction of 41.5%) - 2 - The rate of destruction of these forests is greater than that of the temperate forests. If this destruction is continued with the same rate, many interesting taxa may disappear before there is even a record of theirexistence. India being situated in the tropics, has a typical tropical .flora. The tropical rain forests exist at Andaman- Nikobar Islands, North-East India and Western Ghats of South India (Map 1). All these forests are already explored and are still being explored for their higher angiospermic flora and mycoflora.

  • Caste Politics and State Integration: a Case Study of Mysore State
    MAHESH RAMASWAMY, ASHA S. Caste Politics and State Integration... 195 DOI: 10.1515/ijas-2015-0009 MAHESH RAMASWAMY DVS EVENING COLLEGE ASHA. S GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE Caste Politics and State Integration: a Case Study of Mysore State Abstract: The subject of unifi cation is as vibrant as national movement even after 58 years of a fractured verdict. More than to achieve a physical conjugation it was an attempt for cultural fusion. The aspiration for linguistic unifi cation was a part of the national discourse. The movement, which began with mystic originations, later on turned out to become communal. Political changes during 1799 A.D. and 1857 A.D. changed the fortunes of Mysore state and ultimately led to its disintegration and became the reason for this movement. The concept of unifi cation is akin to the spirit of nationalism, against the background of colonial regime assigning parts of land to different administrative units without taking into consideration the historical or cultural aspects of that place. Kannadigas marooned in multi lingual states experient an orphaned situation got aroused with the turn of nineteenth century. The problem precipitated by the company was diluted by British when they introduced English education. Though the positive aspect like emergence of middle class is pragmatic, rise of communalism on the other hand is not idealistic. This research paper is designed to examine the polarization of castes during unifi cation movement of Mysore State (Presently called as State of Karnataka, since 1973, which was termed Mysore when integrated) which came into being in 1956 A.D.

  • An Early Historic Settlement in Karnataka, India
    CHANDRAVALLI – AN EARLY HISTORIC SETTLEMENT IN KARNATAKA, INDIA Abstract: The settlements of Chandravalli and Brahmagiri come under the Krishna basin. Chandravalli and Brahmagiri are close to Chinnahagari, a tributary of Tungabhadra. Both the settlements are located in district Chitradurga which is a part of South Maidan. The area of South Maidan is marked by boulders and hills and is rich in mineral deposits and building Hema Thakur material, notably iron, gold, copper, maganese, garnet, diamonds, granite, National Institute of Advanced Studies, limestone, soapstone, etc. It is a possibility that the Mauryas, who were Bangalore, India based in North ventured into Karnataka to gain access to these minerals, [email protected] particularly gold and diamonds. Chandravalli has given evidence for typical early historic material assemblage comprising of brick structures, pottery, ornaments, terracottas, coins, Roman antiquities, inscriptions, etc. In this paper the author has attempted to have an understanding of the sources which would have supported the human habitation at Chandravalli. The discussion on sources has been done with respect to the local geographical and environmental conditions. Keywords: Chandravlli, sources, minerals, coins, traders. aksinapatha included among other countries, the Pandya, Kerala, Cola, Maharastra, Mahisaka, Kalinga, Paunika, Maunika, Aamaka Dand Kuntala or Karnata. The name Karnata occurs in Jambukhanda of Mahabharata and the Brihatsamhita of Varahamihira (sixth century A.D.). The word Karnata has been identified with the word Kuntala. Karnata is frequently found mentioned in the Puranas. It also occurs in the Sanskrit play Mricchakatika. King Pulikesi is said to have been proud of his Karnataka armies. According to a tradition, a Daitya, named Karnata, is said to have founded Karnata in his own name, on the shores of the (western ?) ocean (Skanda, 3 Adh.
