Deputy Director of Public Instruction B.V. Mahidas said on Monday that students could understand science topics better with hands-on experience in laboratories.

He was presiding over the inauguration of the science centre at the Government Girls Pre-University College here.

The centre has been sponsored by the Department of Public Instruction and Agastya International Foundation.

The mobile laboratory of the foundation would be visiting all government schools in the district. Students could do experiments in this mobile laboratory, Dr. Mahidas said.

Educationist K.R. Hande, who inaugurated the centre, said that science played a vital role in human life.

Curiosity was an essential quality of scientists. Students should be curious and develop a scientific temper, Mr. Hande said.

Critical and creative thinking and good decision-making were vital in science, he said.

These days, a lot of information was available on the internet. However, students should choose the right kind of information and teachers should help them in this process.

Principal of the college C. Suresh Tunga, project coordinator Shivananda Maiyya, science subject inspector Mukund Bhat, teacher Manorama, and project manager of the foundation Ashok Kumar were present.

Karnataka to impose ban on Bt Brinjal

Bangalore, February 8: Karnataka Horticulture Minister Umesh Katti on Monday said that the state government would enforce ban on the commercial cultivation of Bt Brinjal in the state.
"We will ban commercial cultivation of Bt Brinjal. We have already written to the Centre seeking its deferment," Horticulture Minister Umesh Katti told.
Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh has already said that the Centre would announce its decision on commercial production of the genetically modified crop on February 10.
Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa has already conveyed to the Centre that its commercial release should be deferred till the issue was thoroughly examined.
It should take into account the views of all stakeholders and conduct a long-term research for the Bt crop's bio-safety and its consequent contributions to food security and farmers' well-being, Yeddyurappa had said.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday argued strongly against Bt Brinjal and sought its categorical rejection. He termed the crop as "videshi" (foreign) and sought to equate it with the problem of infiltration of people from across the border.
In Karnataka, brinjal is grown in about 15,000 hectares with annual production of about 3.6 lakh tons.
