It generates new jobs to replace the ones it destroys, says IIM-Nagpur Director Bhimaraya Metri.
Bhimaraya Metri is a distinguished academician, teacher, researcher and administrator. After serving as Director of IIM Tiruchirappalli, the management education expert is serving as the Director of IIM Nagpur. During a conversation with Kumar Buradikatti, he discussed a wide range of issues, including higher education and unemployment in the country. Excerpts from the interview:

Improve tax collections and become self-sufficient, MA&UD Minister Narayana tells Municipal Commissioners. With their delinking from CFMS, the Urban Local Bodies can retain and utilise the taxes collected for their own development, and give an impetus to providing quality essential services to the people, he says. The government has set a target of sterilising all dogs within 200 days, he adds.

The politically dominant, land-owning Vokkaliga and Veerashaiva-Lingayat communities, which have for long opposed the socio, economic and educational survey (caste census) conducted by the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes are expected to adopt a “wait and watch” approach on the outcome of the Friday’s Cabinet meeting, where the issue is likely to be discussed. It has been nearly a decade since the survey was completed.
