ಶಾಲಾ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಸುರಕ್ಷತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಸಡ್ಡೆ: ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಇಲಾಖೆಯ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ವಕೀಲರ ಗಂಭೀರ ಆರೋಪ

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು: ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಶಾಲಾ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಮತ್ತು ಖಾಸಗಿ ಶಾಲಾ ಆಡಳಿತ ಮಂಡಳಿಗಳ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯದ ಪರಿಣಾಮವಾಗಿ ಶಾಲಾ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಸುರಕ್ಷತೆ ಅಪಾಯದಲ್ಲಿದೆ ಎಂದು ವಕೀಲ ಶಿವಕುಮಾರ್ ಎಂ.ವಿ. ಗಂಭೀರ ಆರೋಪ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಪ್ರೆಸ್ ಕ್ಲಬ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಪತ್ರಿಕಾಗೋಷ್ಠಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಾ, ಶಾಲಾ ಅನುಮತಿ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾನೂನು ಉಲ್ಲಂಘನೆ, ಕರ್ತವ್ಯ ಲೋಪ ಮತ್ತು ಬೇಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿತನ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ ಎಂದು ವಿವರಿಸಿದರು.

ಯೂರೋ ಸ್ಕೂಲ್ ಪ್ರಕರಣ: ಅಪೂರ್ಣ ಕಟ್ಟಡಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುಮತಿ?

2022-23ನೇ ಸಾಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಶಾಲೆಗಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಅರ್ಜಿಗಳನ್ನು ಆಹ್ವಾನಿಸಿದಾಗ, ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಕಡ್ಡಾಯ ದಾಖಲೆಗಳ ಅಗತ್ಯತೆಯನ್ನು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟಪಡಿಸಿತ್ತು. ಆದರೆ, ಯೂರೋಸ್ಕೂಲ್ ಫೌಂಡೇಶನ್, ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಿಪುರ ಗ್ರಾಮ, ಆನೇಕಲ್ ತಾಲ್ಲೂಕು, ಬನ್ನೇರುಘಟ್ಟ ರಸ್ತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಶಾಲೆ ತೆರೆಯಲು ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಿದ ಅರ್ಜಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ದೋಷಗಳು ಕಂಡುಬಂದಿವೆ.

ಶಾಲೆಗೆ ನೀಡಲಾದ ಕಟ್ಟಡ ಸುರಕ್ಷತಾ ಪ್ರಮಾಣ ಪತ್ರವು ಕೇವಲ ‘A Block’ ನ ನೆಲಮಹಡಿಗೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಲಭ್ಯವಿತ್ತು, ಆದರೆ ಪೂರ್ಣ ಕಟ್ಟಡಕ್ಕೆ ಈ ಪ್ರಮಾಣ ಪತ್ರ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಅದ باوجود, ದಿನಾಂಕ 25-04-2022 ರಂದು, ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಈ ಅಪೂರ್ಣ ಕಟ್ಟಡಕ್ಕೆ 1 ರಿಂದ 8 ನೇ ತರಗತಿವರೆಗೆ ಶಾಲೆ ನಡೆಸಲು ಅನುಮತಿ ನೀಡಿದೆ. ಇದು ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳ ಭದ್ರತೆಗಾಗಿ ಕಟ್ಟುನಿಟ್ಟಾದ ನಿಯಮಗಳನ್ನು ಮೀರಿ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾದ ನಿರ್ಧಾರ ಎಂದು ಆರೋಪಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಮಾಗಡಿ ರಸ್ತೆಯ ರಾಯನ್ ಶಾಲೆ: ಅನುಮತಿ ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೂ ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ?

ಬ್ಯಾಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಮಾಗಡಿ ಮುಖ್ಯ ರಸ್ತೆಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ರಾಯನ್ ಇಂಟರ್ ನ್ಯಾಶನಲ್ ಅಕಾಡೆಮಿ ಎಂಬ ಹೊಸ ಶಾಲೆಗೆ ಈ ದಿನಾಂಕದವರೆಗೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ಅಧಿಕೃತ ಅನುಮತಿ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ, ಈ ಶಾಲೆಯವರು ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಅರ್ಜಿಗಳನ್ನು ಆಹ್ವಾನಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ಪೋಷಕರಿಂದ ಶುಲ್ಕ ವಸೂಲಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇದು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಕಾನೂನು ಬಾಹಿರವಾದ ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಇಲಾಖೆಯು ಕೂಡಾ ಯಾವುದೇ ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ವಕೀಲರು ತಮ್ಮ ಆಕ್ರೋಶ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಿದರು.

ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಇಲಾಖೆಯ ಮೌನ ಅರ್ಥಪೂರ್ಣವೇ?

ಈ ಗಂಭೀರ ಅಕ್ರಮಗಳ ಕುರಿತು ವಕೀಲ ಶಿವಕುಮಾರ್ ಎಂ.ವಿ. ಅವರು ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಇಲಾಖೆಗೆ ದೂರು ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಿದರೂ, ಯಾವುದೇ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯೆ ಲಭಿಸಿಲ್ಲ. “ನಾನು ವಕೀಲನಾಗಿ ದೂರು ನೀಡಿದರೂ ಉತ್ತರ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಹಾಗಾದರೆ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ನಾಗರಿಕರ ದೂರುಗಳಿಗೆ ಹೇಗೆ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಸಿಗುತ್ತದೆ?” ಎಂದು ಅವರು ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸಿದರು.

ಈ ಎಲ್ಲ ಪ್ರಕರಣಗಳನ್ನು ಹಿತದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಿಂದ ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿರುವ ಸರ್ಕಾರ, ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳ ಸುರಕ್ಷತೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಎಚ್ಚರಿಕೆಯಿಂದ ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ. ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಇಲಾಖೆಯ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯದಿಂದಾಗಿ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳ ಭವಿಷ್ಯ ಅಪಾಯಕ್ಕೀಡಾಗುವಂತಿದೆಯೇ? ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗೆ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ ಉತ್ತರ ನೀಡಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ.

Nine-Year Documentary on Frogs Premieres in Bengaluru: “Little Planet: A Tale of Frogs”

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Bengaluru, India – February 8, 2025: A remarkable nine-year journey into the hidden world of frogs has culminated in the highly anticipated premiere of Little Planet: A Tale of Frogs. Directed by Suhas Premkumar and produced by Raj Gore and Suhas Premkumar, this groundbreaking documentary sheds light on the vital role of frogs in our ecosystem and the urgent need for their conservation.

Set in the Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich biodiversity, the film captures the delicate balance of life that unfolds during the monsoon season. Through stunning visuals and compelling storytelling, Little Planet highlights the lives of frogs, from the calls of the Malabar gliding frog to the rhythmic movements of the dancing frogs, portraying them as bio-indicators—essential markers of environmental health.

Speaking about his journey, Director Suhas Premkumar shared, “The Western Ghats have been a part of me since childhood, but only through filming did I truly grasp the fragility of its ecosystem. Frogs, though small, carry the weight of our environment on their tiny shoulders. This film is my love letter to the Western Ghats and a plea to protect its smallest inhabitants.”

The making of Little Planet was a challenging feat, requiring perseverance and dedication over nearly a decade. Co-producer Raj Gore emphasized the film’s broader message: “This project is about more than frogs—it’s about resilience, collaboration, and hope. Suhas’s commitment over nine years is inspiring, and I am proud to have been part of this journey. It’s time we listen to the frogs before it’s too late.”

Frogs, often overlooked in conservation efforts, face severe threats due to deforestation, habitat loss, and climate change. Through Little Planet, the filmmakers aim to raise awareness about the urgent need to protect these creatures and their rapidly diminishing habitats.

The documentary will have its exclusive premiere on March 2, 2025, from 3:00 to 5:30 PM at the MARC Auditorium, MAHE Campus, Bengaluru. The team has expressed deep gratitude to Prof. Madhu Veeraraghavan (Pro-VC, MAHE Bengaluru), Dr. Raghavendra Prabhu (Deputy Registrar), Dr. Arindam Das (Director, Srishti Manipal), and Mr. Basawaraj Kupposad (Deputy Director, General Services, MAHE Bengaluru) for their support in making this event possible.

With Little Planet: A Tale of Frogs, the filmmakers hope to ignite a movement—one that encourages viewers to appreciate and protect the world’s smallest yet most significant creatures. As Suhas Premkumar puts it, “If this film touches even one heart or inspires someone to take action for nature, these nine years will have been worth it.”
