Hinting that the South Canara District Central Cooperative (SCDCC) Bank might be split up to create a separate district central cooperative bank for Udupi, Cooperation Minister S.T. Somashekar said on Friday there is demand for the same from people in the cooperative sector and from elected representatives.
Speaking at the Jan Swaraj Yatra organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party in Udupi and Mangaluru, the Minister said that since the model code of conduct for the MLC elections is in force he will not speak further on the demand.
The Minister said that there is demand from MLAs and MPs for the same. “They are pressing me to create separate DCC banks for Dakshina Kannad and Udupi,” he said.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
