‘Guarantee schemes beneficial to common people’
The Hindu
Director urges students to critically assess guarantee schemes and contribute to their benefits for Karnataka's economy and society.
Director of Karnataka State Higher Education Academy, Dharwad, M. Chandra Poojary has called upon students not to be carried away by what he termed one-sided reports on guarantee schemes and political interpretations.
He was speaking at the inauguration of a State-level essay and debate competition jointly organised by IQAC and Department of Economics of Shree Jagadguru Moorusavirmath Vidyavardhak Sangha’s Arts and Commerce College for Women, Hubballi, and Rotary Club of Hubli in Hubballi on Tuesday.
The topics of the debate were “The Concept of Model Village” and “Five Guarantees: Boon or Bane to Karnataka Economy”.
Prof. Chandra Poojary said that the guarantee schemes are beneficial to the common people as they are the direct beneficiaries.
Giving comparative figures of tax of Karnataka and other States in the country, he said that the guarantee schemes are not the cause for the government’s fiscal health being affected but the economic structure being followed by the Union government.
Urging the students not to be carried away by the narrative being built against the guarantee schemes, he asked them to contribute towards realising the benefits of the schemes for both the State and the common man.
Chairman of SJMV Sangha Arvind Kubsad was present. Rotary Club of Hubli president Vasant Bhasme presided over the inaugural session.
