R. Ambedkar Veedhi Bengaluru – 560 001 [email protected] www.karnataka.gov.in/jnanaayoga Preparing Students for Research Training: A Pilot Study on Environmental Pollutants in the Konkan Belt MESSAGE To promote interest among students in science and scientific research, KJA supported the proposal of MPES on ‘Preparing Students for Research Training: A Pilot Study on Environment Pollutants in the Konkan Belt’. The proposal was very unique interms of giving students the experiential learning about science and scientific methodologies through undertaking a pilot study of environment pollutants in the Konkan Belt. This apart, KJA, considered the proposal as an important endeavor as it was for the UG and PG students of Honnavar, a small coastal town, which lacks well established science labs for students. The Two-year project, completely undertaken by students, with faculty support and guidance, has exposed students to scientific methodologies. The hands-on experience, which the students have gained through visiting the fields, by collecting the samples, testing and analyzing in the labs, using scientific apparatus, has enhanced their knowledge of the subject and has truly empowered them. The academic performance of students has remarkably progressed as their understanding of the subject has deepened. This has also impacted students’ future education and career choices. At the time, when many UG colleges are closing down the science stream, due to lack of admission, it is very heartening to hear that students of this college wants to pursue science in their higher education and make a profession in science domain. This project has instilled a sense of empowerment and curiosity among students to learn from the field, to go beyond the classroom teachings. It is also welcoming to know that the colleges in the vicinity have shown great interest, and some have approached MPES, to design and undertake such research projects to expose students to science and scientific research. It is not only students, who have immensely benefited from the project, even the faculty members have had a great learning during the project period. The teaching-learning that took place during the project, outside the classroom, in the fields, not only made learning of complex concepts easier for students, but also helped teachers enhance their academic and social skills. Setting up of a lab in a region like Honnavar seemed challenging for the MPES management but the whole task was well handled. It is of immense pleasure to learn that the lab is being well used, not only by students and faculty of MPES, but also by other nearby colleges. The impact of this project on students is visible in their enhanced academic performance and in the career choices that they are making. To make experiential learning possible for large number of students, KJA recommends setting up of research labs in undergraduate colleges, especially, in those colleges that are located in rural Karnataka. A research paper at undergraduate level must be introduced across all streams-science, humanities & social sciences and commerce- so that students of all streams are given similar opportunity to learn. Exposure to scientific research methodologies and hands-on learning through participation in the Research will certainly help students prepare themselves to take on the challenges of 21st century knowledge society. Preparing Students for Research Training: A Pilot Study on Environmental Pollutants in the Konkan Belt I take this opportunity to congratulate the students, faculty members and management of MPES for having successfully completed research training project. I also take this opportunity to thank KJA Members, for their valuable inputs and ACS/Principal Secretaries of Department of Higher Education, GoK for kind support. August 26, 2019 Preparing Students for Research Training: A Pilot Study on Environmental Pollutants in the Konkan Belt FOREWORD Karnataka is emerging as a Knowledge State in the country and needs to take on the 21st century global challenges in terms of innovation, conservation of heritage, generation of new knowledge, application of knowledge in every sphere of life, skill development, enhancement of competencies, creation of better human capital, to create new knowledge economy, besides creation of more humane society. To address these challenges, Government of Karnataka constituted Karnataka Jnana Aayoga (KJA) as a recommendatory body, under the Chairmanship of Dr. K. Kasturirangan. Aayoga is composed of experts from various fields of knowledge. The reason for having a body like KJA in the state is mainly to engage experts in different areas and to obtain professional and knowledge recommendations for improving governance in state. As an independent professional-expert body, KJA Members bring new ideation, undertake extensive brain- storming and wide consultations on important and relevant issues for the state’s development and make specific actionable recommendations to government. Tasks of KJA are mainly “proof-of-concept” and get defined/formulated, either through internal discussions within KJA – mainly issues of public/societal/technological and knowledge relevance for the state or are identified through interactions with GOK departments. As part of “proof-of-concept”, KJA takes up technical assessments, studies, small demonstrations, proto-typing analysis, policy analysis, social impact assessment etc., which result in relevant recommendations to GOK. The Malnad Progressive Education Society (MPES), Honnavar approached KJA for funds to establish a Graduate Research Laboratory so that students can take up graduate research. Based on discussion and approval of Chairman, KJA, it was then suggested to MPES that a proposal may be submitted for a knowledge activity or unique education proposition-which can be considered by KJA. MPES submitted the proposal ‘Preparing Students for Research Training: A Pilot Study on Environmental Pollutant in the Konkan Belt.’ The underlying objective of the proposal was to provide research experience to graduate and undergraduate students by exposing them to first-hand experience in the research area. KJA endorsed the idea and on Members suggestion, MPES’ capabilities and preparedness to undertake project was assessed. The Expert Team lead by Prof. M.R.S. Rao explored all aspects of the institution and submitted an assessment report. Based on the assessment report, KJA Technical Committee and KJA Management Committee approved the proposal for 2 years. KJA constituted a Monitoring and Guidance Committee under the Co-Chairmanship of Prof. M.R.S. Rao and Dr. Gayatri Saberwal to guide the MPES project team in implementing the project. Based on the review of the project impact, KJA recommends setting up of research labs in undergraduate colleges, especially in those located in rural Karnataka. KJA Members appreciated the project and suggested submitting the recommendation to Higher Education Department, GOK, to Preparing Students for Research Training: A Pilot Study on Environmental Pollutants in the Konkan Belt institutionalize research project in UG curriculum in science, humanities and social sciences and commerce streams, with financial support from GOK. The project received immense appreciation as it positively impacted the students in their academic performance and future education and career choices. Faculty members of MPES have also benefitted from the project as they got an opportunity to participate in setting up of a science lab in their college and also to undertake research with large number of students beyond classroom. This unique project has enhanced knowledge and research skills of both students and teachers. I take this opportunity to convey my sincere thanks to Honourable Chairman, KJA for his kind support; and KJA Members, especially Prof. M.R.S. Rao and Dr. Gayatri Saberwal, for monitoring and guiding the project throughout its implementation. My thanks are also due to ACS/ Principal Secretaries of Department of Higher Education. My heartfelt appreciation to all the students for having taken part in this research training project. I also congratulate the faculty, lead by Dr. Srikanth Hegde as PI, and management of MPES for having envisioned such a research project and for having it successfully completed.

  • History of Jainism in Karnataka
    History of Jainism in Karnataka November 26, 2020 UPSC has in recent times shown a lot of interest in the subsects and art and culture of Buddhism and Jainism as can be seen in the questions on sarvastivada and sthanakvasi in the past 3 years. In this light we want to cover some important manifestations of these religions in regional centers. And Jainism and its impact on Karnataka is one such important topic that needs to be covered and the current article is an endeavour to do the same. In news: Recently Copper plate inscriptions dated to the 8th and 9th century CE have been discovered in and around Halebelagola in Chanrayapatna taluk of Hassan district. Placing it in syllabus: Indian history – Jainism Dimensions 1. Origin of Jainism 2. Patronage of Jainism by various dynasties 3. Jaina architecture in Karnataka 4. Jaina contribution to Kannada literature Content: Origin of Jainism: Jaina Dharma or sramana dharma is a small but very influential religious tradition in India. Called Nirgantha (without bonds) by ancient texts, it is one of the oldest sramana (ascetic) traditions still surviving in India. The community is most prominent in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan and also has a good presence in Delhi- Mathura, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Bundelkhand regions. The Rig Veda contains clear references to Rishabhdeva, the first Tirthankara and to Aristanemi, the twenty- second. The Yajur Veda mentions the names of three Tirthankaras: Rishabhdeva, Ajitanatha and Aristanemi. Rishabha has also been mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana. According to the tradition, it is believed that Mahavira (24th Tirthankara) visited Karnataka and initiated King Jivandhara of Hemanagada country of the Kuntala (Karnataka) region.

The very first dynasty “Chutus of Banavasi” was started in this district and was the home of the Kadamba dynasty for over a century. The Western Ghats towards the east and Arabian Sea towards the west has appended a lot of geographical features like rivers, waterfalls, hill stations, beaches and evergreen jungles. Apart from this cultural imprints of the Marathas, Portuguese and the Kadambas are still visible here. Historically, for the British, Karwar was the trade centre for pepper and fine muslin.
