Skal International, a travel and tourism organisation, will hold Skal India Congress 2023 in Mysuru and Bengaluru between October 4 and 8 this year.
The website and logo of Skal India Congress 2023 was launched by Pratap Simha, Mysuru MP, in the presence of representatives from the tourism industry and Skal International at a curtain raiser programme in Mysuru on Tuesday.
Skal India Congress, organised by Skal International India, is expected to be an elaborate platform for professionals interested in participating in the progress of the travel industry.
The event supported by Department of Tourism, Government of Karnataka, will witness a gala opening at Mysuru on October 4. “The congress will begin with a cultural extravaganza in the backdrop of Mysuru palace where colourful heritage and traditions of India will be showcased. All the delegates will then be taken to the hotel on the royal horse cart rides,” said a statement.
On October 5, a panel discussion and a guided tour of “Unseen Mysuru” will be held.
The event moves to Bengaluru on October 6 when the delegates will reach the tech city by the newly laid expressway. In Bengaluru, B2B conventions and exhibitions will be held in which tourism bodies from different States will showcase their travel products.
Award nights to felicitate achievers in different fields and panel discussions will also be held during the Bengaluru leg of the congress.
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
