A single screening test can protect you from health issues for multiple days to come.

ALT Here is an image of a health screening test being conducted in rural Karnataka with the clients being villagers who reside in the rural areas as seen from the image with the lady who is a villager and is someone who lives in rural Karnataka.

This Dussehra, celebrate the greatest victory of all — the gift of good health.
As we celebrate the triumph of good over evil, may every home be filled with healthier tomorrows, brighter smiles, and the happiness of living well.
Because every victory begins with good health.
It’s been a decade since last city elections - a decade in which Covid has come and gone and AI has come and grown. An initiative by @oorvani and @Janaagraha1 with a data-led approach for the next local elections (hopefully soon) with technology support by @K2_181 and volunteers

ದೇಸೊದೆಡ್ಡೆಗ್‌, ಬಾಸೆದೆಡ್ಡೆಗ್‌

ಎರಡು ಸಾವಿರ ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಗೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಇತಿಹಾಸವಿರುವ ಪಂಚ ದ್ರಾವಿಡ ಭಾಷೆಗಳಲ್ಲೊಂದಾದ ತುಳು ಭಾಷೆಯನ್ನು, ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಸಚಿವ ಸಂಪುಟ ಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಎರಡನೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚುವರಿ ಆಡಳಿತ ಭಾಷೆಯೆಂದು(ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಕನ್ನಡ ಮತ್ತು ಉಡುಪಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗೆ ಅನ್ವಯವಾಗುವಂತೆ) ಘೋಷಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿನ ಜನರ ದಶಕಗಳ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಈಡೇರಿಸಿದೆ. ಈ ಮಾನ್ಯತೆಗಾಗಿ ಹೋರಾಡಿದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ತುಳುವರಿಗೂ, ಭಾಷಾ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳಿಗೂ ಅಭಿನಂದನೆಗಳು. ಇದು ತುಳು ಭಾಷೆಯ ಮಹತ್ತತೆಗೆ ಸಂದ ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ ಜಯ.

The claim that Bengaluru’s voting % was very poor was always debatable - the fact that almost 47% of the voter list is likely to be purged (notwithstanding the fact that many genuine voters might be booted out) proves that a milestone cleanup exercise was necessary. (1/4)
This might be the story of every major city-high number of migratory population (coming in from out of state and moving within the city) has created massive inefficiencies in the voter lists. The lists have just grown and grown without anyone trying to validate domicile (3/4)

When people start tracking things themselves, a more accurate picture of governance emerges. And these days, with tech and groups and AI, a lot is possible. This summary of 'to-do' things in South Corporation shows that meetings with communities are happening, but subsequent action has been slow. I understand that there will be a lag between issues being reported and being fixed, but over time, the percentages need to hit 80%. @comm_blr_south @NITINKML @raizerius

BSWML has managed to complicate not just Solid Waste Management, but now even the GBA/BBMP property tax portal. #EaseOfLiving
A simple property tax payment is turning into a confusing exercise due to poorly designed SWM user fee questions and unclear data requirements.
There is no per-house waste weighment system, so all entries are merely estimates. And the framework imposes discriminatory charges on apartment communities that already segregate and compost their waste.
Fix the SWM framework first—don’t make compliance harder for citizens.
We seek urgent intervention from the Chief Commissioner, GBA.

Oh my God! This is phenomenally effective communication! Fantastic narrative device with the right amount of exaggeration that lands the message with a bang, while also sending chills down the spine of the target audience (parents of young children)! Excellent work by the Irish agency Core Creative.

Since there is a lot of current debate on #strays that is polarising various groups, here’s a tidbit on this topic from my recent podcast on The Thing With This One Is with Ram Deshpande- it’s always live and let live, with responsibility towards others.

Are civic activists and volunteers burnt out? Is civic activism dying in Bengaluru?
Me and @srinualavilli had an opportunity to pose this question to a group of participants during the India Civic Summit hosted by @citizenmatters . Read on to find the answer.
@BAFBLR
Bengaluru’s civic volunteers exhausted but not out.

The masterclass 'is there burnout in civic activism?' highlighted the importance of youth engagement and modern communication skills.

Push push push every day every citizen, every RWA, every government official, every bureaucrat, every politician to work for better governance - but every once in while an election to assert collective and transformative power comes and that’s when #everyvotematters @BAFBLR

On the eve of recent budget session of Karnataka Assembly,BAF ran a "Meet your MLA" campaign to represent priority issues affecting apartment residents requiring legislative discussion and action. 11 MLAs and 4 Ministers were met and representations submitted @CMofKarnataka(1/10)
