Chamarajanagar :

In what could be said as the first ever in the State, a Mobile Veterinary Service (MVS), to treat injured wild animals, was launched at Bandipur Tiger Reserve (BTR) yesterday.

Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), in collaboration with the Forest Department and Aircel, launched the service for the first time in Karnataka to facilitate the rescue of wild animals and respond to all wildlife emergencies.

A vehicle to carry out the service was handed over to Conservator of Forests and Bandipur Project Tiger Director, H.C. Kantharaju, by WTI Zonal Head Jose Louis and Brunda Malhotra of Aircel.

Kantharaju, speaking on the occasion, said: “In the past couple of years, there have been instances of large carnivores venturing out of the forests into human habitations which has resulted in human and animal deaths. With an MVS like this, we can immediately tend to these animals and put them back into the wild or provide necessary treatment, if needed.”

The mobile unit will have a trained veterinarian, two wildlife conservation staff and a driver, who would respond at any time for any emergency reported from the region, Kantharaju added.

BTR is surrounded by close to 200 villages with a population of more than three lakh inhabiting these villages and over two lakh cattle. These areas surrounding Bandipur have witnessed frequent occurrences of conflict with tigers, leopards and elephants. In addition, the spurt in poaching activities and use of snares in Bandipur over the past few years have had authorities and conservationists on their toes.

The unit would be based at Special Tiger Protection Force (STPF) camp at Melkhamanahalli and will be operational 24×7 and villagers can call Ph: 08229-236043 or Mob: 87621-11704 in case of an animal emergency.

Meanwhile, WTI Zonal Head Jose Louis said that the vehicle, apart from responding to emergencies in Bandipur limits, will also provide service in Biligiri Ranganatha Temple (BRT) Wildlife Reserve, Nagarahole, Malai Mahadeshwara Wildlife Reserve and would also provide services in Mudumalai Forest in Tamil Nadu and Waynad Forest Reserve in Kerala.

DCF Keshavamurthy, Wildlife Warden D. Rajkumar and others were present

Hubballi optometrist gets UK fellowship

Business & Economy, Education, Records, All, Science & Technology, World Opinion

Hubballi :

Kunal Shah , 35, a BS optometry graduate from BITS, Pilani-Sankara Nethralaya, and CEO of Hubballi-based startup Eyesavers has got a fellowship from the British Contact Lens Association (BCLA). He is the fourth India optometrist to receive the BCLA fellowship. Professor James Wolffsohn of Aston University honoured Shah in Pune recently.

Expressing joy on receiving the fete, Kunal told TOI that the adoption of technology has been instrumental in getting the fellowship.

“Our startup, floated two years ago, has been the first in India to adopt I-profiler technology by Zeiss and Visio Office Plus by Essilor from France which can calculate the position of eyes in front of the lenses at a precision of 1/10th mm at a click of a button. Now, 4-5 other optometrists have borrowed these technologies in India,” he said.

Kunal’s father Prakash Shah, who is also involved in optical business for the past five decades, said that he was worried when Kunal wanted to invest Rs 20 lakh on I-profiler and Rs 8.50 lakh on Visio Office Plus. “Now I am convinced by his innovations. Though we have Hubli Opticals since 1953, he floated separate brand at his own risk,” he said.

Kunal is offering free service using Visio Office Plus technology to avoid fitting errors. . “Usually, we don’t consider the size of nose, eyes and forehead while suggesting a frame for patients. This technology considers whether the wearer of the glass is head-mover or eye-mover while preparing the perfect frame,” he claimed.

Kunal is the only optometrist in North Karnataka to provide cosmetic eye to fill self-confidence among people who have only one eye by birth.

Young fashion designer carves niche for herself

Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Business & Economy

Hubballi :

The demise of her grandfather last week was a big personal loss for this 23-year-old. “Though girls are supposed to get married early in the Marwadi community, my grandfather Ramvilas Mahajan, who passed away last week, used to encourage me to achieve my goal,” recalls a teary eyed Shruti Mahajan.

Shruti, who claims to be the first fashion designer-entrepreneur of Hubballi, featured in Kerala Fashion League-2015 where she met James Ferreira, one of the leading fashion designers in the country and founder of James Ferreira designer label. The event was held in Ernakulam last month.

Speaking to TOI, Shruti said that it was amazing to meet icons of Indian fashion designing industry about whom she had read in textbooks. “It was an occasion to meet designers like Aslam Khan, Sanjana. Tamil actress Kalyani was the showstopper for my designs,” she says.

Shruti completed BSc in fashion and apparels from Vogue Institute of Fashion Technology, Bengaluru, in 2014. She floated Conch Designs Studio in June 2014 and had been creating awareness on fashion design in tier-II cities like Hubballi.

“In the beginning, it was very difficult to convince people about fashion design. I patiently convinced them by saying: ‘give me any kind of girl or woman, irrespective of physical fitness, fairness and complexion, I will make her beautiful’,” she says.

Waseem Bahadur, proprietor of an event management company in Hubballi, says that Shruti has the sense of painting and craftwork which shows in her designs. “She is the lone fashion designer in Hubballi who has taken fashion designing as an entrepreneurial venture. She upholds Indian culture and tradition in clothing and also meets the requirement of young generation by designing Indo-Western and Western designs,” he adds.

Shruti has provided employment to five skilled artisans from Delhi, Kolkata and Hyderabad. She received the “Best Costume Award’ in a show organized by Ramesh Dembla for the promotion of “Desi Boys”. She has also exhibited her designs in events like Metro Life Fashion Show, War of Designers, corporate fashion show organized by Infosys in Mysuru.

Girl headed for World Games has her money worries eased

Sports

Hubballi :

Priyanka Kalagi, an alumnus of Karnataka University, Dharwad, has been selected for the World University Games (WUG)-2015 to be held in Gwangju, South Korea, from July 3 to 14. The 22-year-old, who is pursuing PGDCA at Alva’s College in Moodbidri, Dakshina Kannada district, is the only student from Karnataka to be part of Indian Universities Team of Athletics (men and women).

In the final trials held at Punjabi University, Patiala, on May 27 and 28, Priyanka ran 100 metres in 11.56 seconds. She won the silver medal in the 200 metres trials. Every day, she trains two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening.

Hailing from Gadag, Priyanka pursued her high school and degree while living in the Sports Authority of India’s hostel in Dharwad. After doing her BA, she got a free seat at Alva’s College to pursue PGDCA.

Speaking to STOI, Priyanka wondered how she would raise the Rs 1.90 lakh needed to participate in WUG. “However, authorities at my college have promised to make arrangements,” she added.

There’s good news from another quarter too. The Alva Education Foundation has come forward to send Priyanka to South Korea.

Her coach at the college, Shantaram Rai DV, said Mangalore University has promised to bear some of the cost. “Our chairman M Mohan Alva has instructed us to take care of expenses of Priyanka. We will bear 100% cost and later get some percentage reimbursed by the university.”

Her father Shivayogi Kalagi, who is a weighing machines repairer in Gadag, said he earns about Rs 15,000 a month. “My son Pratik works in a company in Bengaluru and earns Rs 13,000 a month. We cannot expect more from him. Because of our financial constraints, Priyanka lived in the SAI hostel. She never got discouraged by our condition.”

Venkatesh Kattimani, president of the Gadag District Athletic Association, said Priyanka is a serious sportsperson. “Her dedication towards sports will design a bright career for her.”

Experts Simplify Rainwater Harvesting for You

Green Initiatives / Environment, Nature

Queen’s Road  :

It looks like the monsoon has set in, bringing along wet days and the opportunity to harvest rainwater.

In November 2009, the state government made rain water harvesting compulsory for all buildings that came up after that and all those on sites bigger than 2,400 sq ft. But there’s no reason to be alarmed if you haven’t installed the facility yet — you can collect rainwater or recharge groundwater without investing too much time or money.

Catch the rain

A couple of the city’s experts say that you can save a lot of water by taking a few simple steps. Put a 500 or 1,000-litre barrel under the pipe that carries your roof water, advises S Vishwanath, founder of Rainwater Harvesting Club. Or attach a wall-mounted filter to the pipe which is called a pop-up filter, and let the water flow into your sump tank or borewell.

“The filter flushes out the first three minutes of water flow so that any dried leaves or bird droppings are washed away,” says Shivakumar. “The rest of the water is filtered by a cartridge.”

However, despite the filter, it’s essential to keep your roof clean to avoid contamination. Shivakumar recommends sweeping once a week and ‘perhaps on days when it looks like it might rain.’

“In smaller houses, since the city is filled with so many, buckets or pitchers can be placed under the pipe or space left for the roof water to come down,” he adds. And whatever little water is collected can be used.

These steps, when adopted by apartment complexes, will help save money on tanker water at least on some days of the year, he adds. “But they should stick to collecting water and using it. Don’t try to recharge the groundwater as most likely, many borewells would have dried up in such areas. The water just disappears and you don’t reap the benefits.”

Social cause

However, other households can dig out a recharge well into which you can direct all the excess rainwater, water that you don’t have space to store. “You can use a pre-cast cement ring, a minimum of 3 ft in diameter. The well should be at least 10 ft deep,” says Vishwanath. “It will take you half a day and someone will do it for you for about Rs 10,000.”

A R Shivakumar

If you’re more socially inclined, for recharging the depleting groundwater table is indeed a social cause according to Shivakumar, you could even make trenches in the stormwater drain. “In open drains, it’s easy to break one of the stone slabs at the bottom, dig up a few feet and fill it with gravel,” he says.

Safe to drink

Contrary to popular belief, rainwater collected from your rooftop — when its kept clean — is even safe for drinking, both experts say. In fact, it is in Shivakumar’s eco-friendly house, whose family of four has sustained only on rainwater for 20 years now.

“We don’t have a BWSSB connection,” he says. Even the water from the washing machine — essentially soap water — is reused for toilet flushing and the kitchen sink water for the garden.

Actually, if you put in place the barrel, the filter and the recharge well, you’ve done 90 per cent of what you can about rainwater harvesting, Vishwanath says. “The challenge is to overcome the starting trouble.”

Bengaluru to become hockey hub

Sports

HockeyBF12jun2015

After a prolonged delay, the Sports Authority of India, South Centre, here will finally get two hockey pitches play-ready by September end with plans of converting the facility into a major training centre for the men’s team.

A green pitch, costing Rs 5.71 crore, will be ready by the end of this month, while a blue pitch — same as the one that will be used at the Rio Olympics next year — will be completed by the end of September.

Apart from laying of the state-of-the-art blue pitch, SAI will also construct change rooms, install 600 lux floodlights and provide space for two video towers. This project is estimated to cost Rs 8.6 crore.

“This is the beginning,” said Union Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal after laying the foundation stone for the project on Thursday. “We have many schemes to be implemented. This blue turf will be the same turf that will be used at the Rio Olympics. This has been done to make our players feel comfortable and familiar with the surface.
“Once this has been done, our intention is to keep the players here so that they can prepare well. Bengaluru is a good place to train all year round, thanks to the weather. I’ve heard the players like it here as well.”

It may be recalled that one of the major demands of former coach Michael Nobbs and current High Performance Director Roelant Oltmans was to make Bengaluru as a permanent training centre. While they trained largely here from mid-2010 despite the pitch being below par, they moved to facilities across the country around two years ago after plenty of players suffered injuries during training.

With both the pitches set to be ready by September end, this should come as good news for the hockey players and staff. Meanwhile, plenty of elite Karnataka athletes — past and present — and administrators attended the afternoon function. Badminton legend Prakash Padukone, former National badminton coach Vimal Kumar, long-jumper Anju Bobby George, former hockey player Ashish Ballal, paralympian HN Girisha, current high jump national record holder Sahana Kumari, heptathlete Pramila Aiyappa and India hockey defender VR Raghunath were some of the few in attendance.
