Mangaluru MLA U T Khader has helped a PhD scholar, who had arrived in India from Italy, to reach her home at Kulai in Mangaluru from Bengaluru on Sunday.
Shree Madhu Bhat, a PhD student at the University of Turin in Italy, had arrived in Delhi in a special flight arranged by the Government of India.
“After completing the quarantine period in Delhi, she was brought to Bengaluru in a special bus arranged by the central government on April 11. However, she could not reach Mangaluru owing to non-availability of any mode of transportation. Her parents had contacted district administration seeking help and also me through a common friend. When I received the information, I was in Bengaluru and brought her in my car,” Khader said.
She is the daughter of Shivaram Bhat and Shailaja Bhat.
After completing the quarantine period, she along with others were sent in a special bus to their respective states on April 8.
The bus had travelled via Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and reached Bengaluru on April 11.
The MLA had shared a photograph of the family of Shree Madhu Bhat on his Facebook page.

There are very few people who are remembered as good politicians and B A Moideen is one of them, former Mangalore University History Prof Surendra Rao said.
Releasing ‘The I within Me’, the English version of Moideen’s autobiography in Mangaluru on Wednesday, he said that the humanitarian values that Moideen believed in and followed transcended the boundaries of politics.
Terming the autobiography rare, Prof Rao pointed out that the work was not a repository of self-praise (as most autobiographies are).
“Instead, it traces the socio-political developments of his time, in an accurate way,” he remarked.
“It seems that Moideen had a soft corner for his party. This is reflected in his opinions on the Emergency rule in India. But, all other incidents in his life are recorded by him without any prejudice. In all, his life is a lesson that no community can live an island; separated from others. This message is reflected in his work”, Prof Rao said.
Releasing the book, Urban Development Minister U T Khader said that B A Moideen had shown the way for modern-day politicians. “He was known for his idealistic politics. Sacrifices made by him are evident in the book,” he added.
The minister opined that good autobiographies in Kannada should be translated to English and vice versa.
Chief Minister’s parliamentary secretary Ivan D’Souza, journalist Abdussalam Puttige, Beary’s Group of Institutions chairman Syed Muhammed Beary and P A Engineering College Principal Dr Abdul Sharrif were present.

He was the only one from Congress elected from this region
Undivided Dakshina Kannada, which had elected just one Congress MLA from out of the 13 constituencies, got a Cabinet berth in U.T. Khader, when he was sworn in Minister in the H.D. Kumaraswamy-led Janata Dal(S)-Congress coalition government in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
A fourth-term MLA representing Mangaluru (formerly Ullal), Mr. Khader had been a Minister in the erstwhile Siddaramaiah government, initially holding Health and Family Welfare portfolio, followed by Food and Civil Supplies Ministry. Seen as being close to Congress president Rahul Gandhi, Mr. Khader had earned a name as a Minister in both the departments.
While the BJP swept the entire southern coast riding the Hindutva-Modi wave in the May 12 elections to the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Khader held on to his turf thereby providing a saving grace to the erstwhile ruling party. He defeated BJP’s Santosh Kumar Rai Boliyaru with a margin of 19,739 votes. He had won the 2013 Assembly elections with a margin of 29,111 votes.
Mr. Khader entered the Legislative Assembly in 2007 when by-elections were held for Ullal after the death of his father and MLA U.T. Farid. Thereafter, he registered victories in successive elections in 2008, 2013 and 2018.
While Mr. Khader has the responsibility of ensuring orderly development of his constituency which is getting urbanised very fast due to its proximity to Mangaluru, the Ministerial berth has added to his responsibilities.

Mysuru :
The State Government will soon start Blood Banks in all districts and taluks, said Health and Family Welfare Minister U.T. Khader here this morning. He was speaking after inaugurating the World Blood Donor Day celebrations organised by Dept. of Transfusion Medicine, JSS Medical College & Hospital and JSS College of Nursing, at Sri Rajendra Centenary Auditorium in JSS Hospital premises.
There is a strong network of Blood Banks in Mysuru, Mangaluru and Bengaluru but certain areas in North Karnataka lack such network and government hopes to develop Blood Banks in these areas, said Khader.
Encouraging citizens to donate blood, the Health Minister said “when you are born you only have your breath but no name. But when you die, you have no breath but your name lives on.”
He then gave the example of Harish Nanjappa, a youth who met with an accident while returning to Bengaluru from Tumakuru and who decided to donate his organs when he had only a few minutes to live. Khader added that Harish’s name now lives on as the State Government has started Mukhyamantri Santwana Harish Yojana and said that Harish is a great example to follow.
Stating that sometimes Government does not get credit for the work it does, Khader recited a story to drive home this point. The story reads as follows:
“Once a broke man wrote a letter to God asking for Rs. 2,000 and posted it. The Post Master, who saw the address, thought it was written by a mentally-challenged person and threw the letter away. A few weeks later since there was no reply from God, the broke man wrote a letter again. This time the Post Master felt bad and thought he needed to help this desperate man. So the Post Master put Rs. 1,000 of his own money and sent it to the broke man. On receiving it, the broke man was very happy and his neighbour asked him how he got this money, to which the broke man replied, “I had asked God for Rs. 2,000 but the corrupt Post Master swallowed Rs. 1,000 and sent me only Rs. 1,000.”
Khader then requested people to give credit to Government where it deserved and not blindly criticise it.
Mayor B. L. Bhyrappa, Star of Mysore Managing Editor Vikram Muthanna and others spoke on the occasion. JSS University Director (Academics) Dr. P.A. Kushalappa presided over the event. JSS Medical College Principal Dr. H. Basasvana Gowdappa, JSS Nursing College Principal Dr. Sheela Williams, JSS Hospital Director Dr. M.D. Ravi and Medical Superintendent Dr. M. Guruswamy were present. The hospital also conducted blood donation camp on the occasion.
