UVCE’s New Campus Plan at Jnanabharathi Bio Park Faces Ecological Hurdles
A three-member committee led by Srinivas C., Registrar (Evaluation) of Bangalore University, has determined that the proposed site for the new campus of the University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) at the Jnanabharathi campus is unsuitable for construction. The site, identified for UVCE’s establishment as an autonomous institute on the IIT model at an estimated cost of ₹500 crore, has been a protected ‘Bio Park’ for over 25 years. The committee’s report emphasizes the ecological significance of the area, which includes diverse flora and fauna, including 150 tree species, 47 IUCN red-listed species, and a historical sandalwood reserve. The site also hosts 134 bird species, 64 butterfly species, and thousands of medicinal plants listed under the National Medicinal Plant Board. The report aligns with the National Forest Policy and UGC’s Nagar Vana Yojana, stating that diverting the land would violate the Biodiversity Act 2004 and Environmental Protection Act 1986, causing severe ecological damage. Despite the report, university sources claim it will not be submitted to the government, and there is no objection to UVCE’s establishment at Jnanabharathi.
Waqf Tribunal Questions Kerala Waqf Board's Opposition to Munambam Residents' Inclusion in Land Dispute Case
The Waqf Tribunal in Kozhikode has directed the Kerala State Waqf Board to clarify its legal authority to prevent residents of Munambam from joining a case filed by Farook College. The college had challenged the board's decision to classify 404 acres of land in Munambam as Waqf property. Two residents sought to be included in the case, which Farook College supported, but the Waqf Board opposed. The tribunal questioned the board's stance, especially since the petitioner had no objections, and scheduled the next hearing for April 3, 2023. The dispute dates back to the 1960s when 600 families in Munambam, Ernakulam district, purchased the land from Farook College, unaware it was Waqf property based on a 1950 deed. The Nissar Commission, appointed in 2009, later declared the land as Waqf property and deemed the sale illegal.

BBMP’s Revenue Doubles to ₹19,928 Crore by 2025-26 Amid Increased State Reliance
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has witnessed a remarkable increase in its revenue targets, with total receipts more than doubling from ₹9,189 crore in 2023-24 to ₹19,928 crore in 2025-26, marking a 116% growth. This surge is attributed to a 121% increase in BBMP’s Own Source Revenue (OSR) and a 113% rise in State and Central government grants. For the fiscal year 2025-26, BBMP has set ambitious targets, including ₹5,716 crore from property tax, ₹2,000 crore from Premium FAR, and ₹750 crore from advertising revenue. The adoption of GIS-based technology and the One Time Settlement (OTS) scheme has significantly boosted property tax collections, with ₹4,900 crore collected in 2024-25, making Bengaluru the city with the highest property tax collection in India for the second consecutive year. Despite these efforts, BBMP’s reliance on State and Central government grants remains high, with their share of total receipts increasing from 40% in 2024-25 to 44% in 2025-26. The introduction of new advertisement and FAR policies is expected to further enhance non-tax revenues, but concerns about fiscal sustainability persist due to the growing dependence on state funding.

MGNREGA Workers Demand Reduced Work Hours Amid Heatwave in Kalyana Karnataka
In the Kalyana Karnataka region, particularly in Kalaburagi, Yadgir, and Raichur districts, the extreme heatwave conditions during summer months have made outdoor work, especially under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), increasingly challenging. With temperatures often exceeding 44°C, labourers face significant health risks. Historically, the Union government reduced the mandatory workload for full wages during April and May to mitigate these risks. However, this year, no such relief has been announced, prompting protests from labour leaders and activists. Sharanabasappa Mamshetty, president of the Kalaburagi District unit of the Karnataka Prantha Raitha Sangha, led a protest demanding a 20-30% reduction in workload during peak summer months and the immediate release of pending MGNREGA wages. K. Neela, district secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), also emphasized the need for the Union government to issue workload concessions and improve basic facilities at worksites, including clean drinking water and rest tents. Additionally, concerns were raised about the discontinuation of onsite childcare facilities, which has forced many mothers to choose between work and childcare. Bhanwar Singh Meena, CEO of the Kalaburagi Zilla Panchayat, acknowledged the demands and stated that workload adjustments require Central government approval.

University of Madras Faces Internet Shutdown and Budget Delays Due to Administrative Issues
The University of Madras has faced a shutdown of its internet services and website for the past three days due to non-payment of a ₹9 lakh firewall license fee. This has disrupted critical services, including the publication of exam results for the Institute of Distance Education on March 25. A student reportedly lost an internship opportunity at the Reserve Bank of India due to the inability to download mark sheets. The delay in payment approval stems from administrative issues, including the absence of a Vice-Chancellor since August 2023, as the State government and the Governor are in disagreement over the inclusion of the University Grants Commission chairman’s nominee in the Vice-Chancellor search panel. Additionally, the university’s annual budget for 2024-25, estimated at ₹147.79 crore, has not been presented due to administrative delays, leading to concerns over salary payments and a projected revenue loss of ₹14 crore. On March 11, the Special Secretary to the government clarified that the State has no obligation to provide grants to the university, despite earlier government orders aiding its financial crises.
Kerala University Faces Backlash Over Lost MBA Answer Sheets and Re-Examination Order
The University of Kerala has faced severe criticism after directing 71 MBA students from five colleges to retake a third-semester examination held nearly a year ago. This decision was prompted by the loss of several answer sheets during evaluation by a contract lecturer, Pramod. The answer scripts for the Project Finance paper, conducted in May 2024, were handed over to Pramod for home valuation on December 23. However, a bag containing the scripts reportedly went missing during his travel from Palakkad to Thiruvananthapuram on January 13. Pramod filed a police complaint and informed the university the next day. The issue was discussed at a Syndicate meeting on March 17, but it only came to public attention recently when the university emailed affected students, instructing them to appear for a special examination on April 7. Vice-Chancellor (in-charge) Mohanan Kunnummal has ordered an inquiry and will chair a high-level meeting of examination officials on April 1. The Syndicate Standing Committee on Examinations will also meet the same day to address the issue. Registrar K.S. Anil Kumar stated that the university has filed a police complaint and will take further action based on the investigation's findings. The re-examination will be funded by the university, and students will not be charged. The university plans to recover expenses from the responsible lecturer, who may also face a ban from examination duties. Higher Education Minister R. Bindu condemned the incident, holding the lecturer accountable for dereliction of duty and stating that legal action will be initiated. Students from the 2022-24 batch have criticized the decision, citing difficulty in preparing for the exam in a short timeframe. Leader of the Opposition V.D.
