A group of students have been working on a street tree census in Bangalore. This team has now completed a count of all the street trees in one particular ward and put up the details online - here.

Domestic tourism is a powerful economic activity. It holds the potential to bridge the urban-rural divide in our state. We live in a very beautiful state, with range of tourism options - leisure, pilgrimage, nature, history or health/medical. Karnataka has a tourism ministry, but its performance and focus on domestic tourism is largely unchecked and not monitored.

If you want to contest the upcoming zilla and taluk panchayat elections in the state, make sure your house has a toilet. At least that’s the message from rural development and panchayat raj minister Jagadish Shettar, who is pushing hard to make it mandatory for a candidate to have a toilet in his/her house.
