Karnataka water release dispute; BMSCE introduces skill courses

Karnataka water release dispute; BMSCE introduces skill courses
Not enough Cauvery water to release to TN: Patil · thehansindia.com

Imagine a big river that gives water to two states in India.

In Karnataka, the water level is low because there hasn't been much rain.

The state says it can't give the promised amount of water to Tamil Nadu.

A project called Mekedatu could help store more water, but politics have slowed it down.

Meanwhile, in the same city, a college called BMSCE is teaching students new skills like coding and data science.

They built a special lab that is part of the students' regular classes.

The college has signed deals with 12 companies, such as L&T and Edutech, to give students real‑world training.

Students can earn certificates that help them get jobs.

Both stories show how people are trying to solve problems in their own ways.
