  • Karnataka VOCATIONAL SURVEY REPORT of GULBARGA DISTRICT
    KARNATAKA VOCATIONAL SURVEY REPORT OF GULBARGA DISTRICT 1978 GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA M E S 5 A Q E “Change the system of Education” -is the talk of the day Biut how? Several attempts have been made in the past without much sutccess. The Education Commission (1964-66) has recomnneaded greater diversification of vocational courses at Ihft Higher Ssesadary level. They have pointed out that training should cover not only people who seek employment but a Iso. those who are or may be interested in self employment. Experimentation was going on from 1973 onwards at the N.C E.R.T., Delhi in the implementation of Vocationialisation of Education. The Pilot project on vocationalisation, was taken up in Karnataka during 1977-78 ill sonne selected schools of Bangalore, South Kanara and Dharwar^ on an experimental basis. Dr. Malcolm Adiseshaiah C'ommittee set up by the Union Education Ministry to rccommemd a plan of action for Vocationalisation of education at the secondary and higher secondary stages, is in close agreemenit with the plan of the action of the pilot project^ undertaken in Karnataka. V Wh£utever may be the plan or pattern, the education uffered in the Schools should enable the students-particularly of the I'ower strata, “to stand on their own legs*’. For this, it should be based on the needs and requirements of our ctiamging society and the infrastructural facilities available in the locality. The vocational survey presenting a board overview of all the aspects of the District with a projection into the future and with suggestions about new courses based om the employment potential, can contribute a great deal for planning on realistic lines.

  • ADIL SHAHI MOSQUES in KARNATAKA Maruti T
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITY STUDIES Vol 4, No 1, 2012 ISSN: 1309-8063 (Online) ADIL SHAHI MOSQUES IN KARNATAKA Maruti T. Kamble Department of History and Archaeology Karnatak University Dharwad - 580003 Karnataka State, India. E-mail: [email protected] -Abstract- This paper concentrates on the mosques (masjids) of the period of the Adil Shahis, one of the Muslim dynasties which had Turkish origin that ruled Karnataka along with the other parts of the Deccan. A Mosque is primarily a religious building for the performance of the daily prayers for five times, one of the five pillars of Islam. It is thus, the most important building for Muslims. Mosques in Karnataka have a long history and tradition. The Adil Shahis constructed mosques in Maharastra, Andra Pradesh and other parts of Karnataka State. Karnataka “the priceless gift of indulgent nature” is a unique blend of glorious past and rich present, situated on the lower West Coast of South India. It was ruled by the Muslim dynasties from the middle of the 14th century to 18th century. The Adil Shahis ruled Karnataka from 1489 A.D., to 1686 A.D., and wielded a great political power over many parts of Karnataka. The founder Yusuf Adil Shah was the son of Ottoman Sultan Murad II of Turkey. In their period many secular and religious monuments were constructed. The Adil Shahi mosques were not only places of worship but also places for education and social activities. The paper examines the construction of the mosques by the Adil Shahis, their patrons and also the construction pattern, architects, features and its role in the society.
