This post appeared in @TOIMangalore a couple of days ago. The point was brought to the notice of @ECISVEEP by my colleague @Balakrishnakesh over the incorrect application of the indelible ink on the right hand during the recently concluded Karnataka legislative council elections.

[Balakrishna K @Balakrishnakesh]

In the Karnataka legislative council elections (Southwest) indelible ink was applied to right hand fingers. When taking food in the right hand, the chemical in the ink can leach into the food causing health effects @ECISVEEP pls note

Was heartening to see some nice work done by our students and they also presented well, sticking to their schedule and responding to the questions posed by the exam panel…😀

[MAHE-MIT_MSc Geology @MITMScGeology]

Our 4th semester students presented their project work in the first phase, which was held yesterday. There were a variety of presentations on different aspects related to earth sciences. From microplastics to heavy metal studies on coffee beans and soils.

[Balakrishna K @Balakrishnakesh]

@MIT_MANIPAL That's very good. Initially it was thought it was open for only government school students. Now that it is made open for others too, with the income cap, that can benefit much more deserving ones

[Anish Warrier, PhD @WarrierAnish]

A welcome step indeed…hope other research institutions and universities in India take this step…

[Santhosh Prabhu @SanthoshP_]
