Udupi: DC reveals post-retirement dream of becoming commissioner of education


Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (HB/SP)

Udupi, Apr 16: Deputy commissioner (DC) of the district, G Jagadeesha, said that he had not come here by using the clout of any political leader nor does he nurse the ambition of joining any political outfit in future. "I want to continue as an officer and like I have done so far, will continue to serve by employing my skills and capacity. At the same time, I have a dream of working as the commissioner in the department of education. Poor children should never be deprived of education. Closed government schools should be reopened, I have the desire of creating vibrancy in education department. Once I retire after attaining the age of superannuation, I will approach the then minister for education with my desire. If I get a chance, I will definitely turn my dream into reality," he said, when taking part in a programme of interaction.

The DC had taken part in the first interaction of tie month organized on Thursday April 15 at Udupi Press Club. Replying to questions of the media persons, he said he has no political influence and had studied for the purpose of earning a livelihood. "I remember the days when we used to struggle to have food thrice a day. Therefore, I do not have any role model. I studied with the desire of undergoing TCH training and becoming a teacher to support my family and look after my parents. After I did my BEd course, I applied for KAS and got 14th rank in the state in my first attempt. After I joined service, I got promotion based on my performance," he said.

Jagadeesha said that as compared to other districts, price of land is high in Udupi district and therefore difficulties are encountered in setting up industries here. He said that land measuring 60 acres has been identified near Byndoor and proposal has been sent to the government to set up industrial zone there. "Food processing industry has a great future in the district. Textile parks in each of the taluks with furniture and stone sculpting park in Karkala are proposed. I want to see that people should look at Udupi when the issue of furniture crops up, not China. We have many people with excellent skills in the district, and our district does have dearth of investors," he explained.

The DC said that the government has sought 500 acres of land for industrial development, but finding such a big land is a big challenge. He said that if the Brahmavar sugar factory cannot be revived, recommendation can be made to the government to use that property.

"The people's representatives here have lot of social concern and they are working as a link between the officials and the people. The people's representatives here match my concept of how they should be," he appreciated.

He said that penalizing those who do not wear marks is to create awareness, not for making money, as the fine amount is very meagre for the government. He observed that some people are indulging in malicious campaigns on this issue, even though the fines are imposed to make people aware of their mistakes. He said that wearing of marks, using sanitisers and vaccinating those above 45 are the only means to combat the pandemic.

He noted that no work moves ahead without the participation of migrant labour and there is a need to create awareness among them. He added that he has plans to distribute masks to them in association with health department.

Assistant director of information department Manjunath N, District Working Journalists Union president Alevoor Rajesh Shetty, Press Club convener Subhashchandra Wagle, general secretary Nazeer Polya, treasurer Umesh Marpalli etc were present.

    Let me tell few words to you sir without letting you to hurt.Your dreams of doing some commissioner work after your retirement.I would appriciate such ideas.Why dont you do this education to children now?Why wait till retirement?Who knows the future?(sorry)we need educated people for the future now not after 20years.schools find difficult to survive now.specially govt.Factories can be built at any time.besides schools ,factories too can help to come up our district to develope.Not only Press meet but in reality .We plan many things after our retirement.I too did.But in reality later looks quite different.Health problems can come across and spoil everything.Now is the best time to bring our children awareness of education and build our Nation as a role Model.How many of these wander workers go to school ?Did you ever think of it.you speak of wander workers,but their children ?

    Great thought dear Sir. However i also would appreciate if you worked mainly in the area of education in superstition. Especially how to choose the right hero to worship. I am sure you understand the extent of damage done to our country due to wrong hero worship.
