Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa
A week after expanding his cabinet, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa allocated portfolios to seven new ministers and also reshuffled the departments of some others. Ending a long wait, Yediyurappa expanded his 17-month old cabinet on January 13, by inducting seven ministers and also dropped H Nagesh who was holding the Excise portfolio, but the exercise led to resentment with several aspirants expressing reservations over not being included in the ministry.
Against the sanctioned strength of 34, the Yediyurappa cabinet now has 33 members. The Forest Department has been taken back from Anand Singh, who has now been given the Tourism portfolio in addition to Environment and Ecology. The newly inducted Aravind Limbavali has been allotted the Forest Department.

The Hindu Photo Library First-year students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, particularly those from rural areas, are finding it difficult to attend classes on campus as hostels run by the Minorities Department and the Backward Classes Welfare Department (BCWD) have yet to call for applications.
Ever since physical classes for intermediate semesters began on January 16, many students have been spending over two hours travelling to their colleges as they do not have alternative accommodation nearby. “With all this travelling to and from the campus, we are missing the first lectures,” said a student. Others are continuing with online classes until applications for hostels open.
