Karnataka Seeking Central Relief Measures as Trump’s Tariff Kicks In: Minister Ramalinga Reddy https://newxpressnews.com/karnataka-seeking-central-relief-measures-as-trumps-tariff-kicks-in-minister-ramalinga-reddy/ https://newxpressnews.com/karnataka-seeking-central-relief-measures-as-trumps-tariff-kicks-in-minister-ramalinga-reddy/#respond Tue, 02 Sep 2025 14:10:36 +0000 https://newxpressnews.com/?p=2636 Bangalore, Sep. 2: The Minister for Transport and Muzurai, Ramalinga Reddy today underlined the challenges arising from U.S. tariff impositions on sectors such as textiles, engineering goods, and IT-enabled services. He expressed hope that the Union Government would announce incentives or relief measures, while assuring that the state government would continue to extend all possible support.

The Minister who gave awards to outstanding exporters, organised by the Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI), highlighted Karnataka’s contribution to India’s export success. The state’s strengths are in IT, aerospace, biotechnology, coffee, textiles, and manufacturing. Karnataka recorded exports worth USD 159,019 million in FY 2024–25, securing the top position nationally, he mentioned.

“Exports are not just about foreign exchange earnings; they are about job creation, competitiveness, and India’s global positioning. Karnataka is proud of its exporters, and the state government remains a committed partner in their progress,” Reddy said while congratulating the award winners.

On state policies, Reddy defended the government’s guarantee schemes, stating that far from weakening fiscal discipline, they had injected over ₹96,000 crore into the economy, boosted GST collections, and increased women’s workforce participation by 23%.

As Transport Minister, he emphasized Karnataka’s ongoing efforts to modernize transport infrastructure, expand highways, enhance multimodal logistics parks, and strengthen rail connectivity to ports. He also cited the Shakti Scheme, now recognized in the Golden Book of World Records, as a transformative step in boosting public transport usage and reducing environmental stress.

The event was presided over by FKCCI Presidenti M. G. Balakrishna, along with President-elect Umareddy; Senior Vice President-elect T. Sairam Prasad, Immediate Past President Ramesh Chandra Lahoti, and Awards Committee Chairman Tippeshappa.

The Minister lauded FKCCI’s 109-year legacy, founded by Bharat Ratna Sir M. Visvesvaraya, as a bridge between government and industry. He congratulated Karnataka’s exporters, calling them “ambassadors of Brand Karnataka and Brand India on the global stage.”

The award citation further states that Kulkarni’s “contributions to time-domain astronomy culminated in the conception, construction, and leadership of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and its successor, the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), which have revolutionized our understanding of the time-variable optical sky.”

One of his numerous accomplishments includes serving as the director of Caltech Optical Observatories from 2006 to 2018. Kulkarni’s pioneering work in time-domain astronomy, notably through the Palomar Transient Factory and the Zwicky Transient Facility, has significantly enhanced the understanding of the dynamic sky. The Shaw Prize Foundation stated, “The Shaw Prize in Astronomy is awarded to Shrinivas R. Kulkarni for his ground-breaking discoveries about millisecond pulsars, gamma-ray bursts, supernovae, and other variable or transient astronomical objects.”

Developed by the late Hong Kong philanthropist Run Run Shaw, the Shaw Prize consists of three annual awards in Astronomy, Life Science and Medicine, and Mathematical Sciences, each with a monetary award of USD 1.2 million.

This year marks the 21st time the prize been awarded. Run Run Shaw, who is known for his philanthropy in education, scientific research, healthcare, and the arts, established the Shaw Prize, sometimes called the “Nobel of the East,” The Shaw Foundation Hong Kong and The Sir Run Run Shaw Charitable Trust continue to support these areas.

Kulkarni’s career is distinguished by numerous notable achievements. As detailed in his biography on Caltech’s website, he received his Master of Science degree from the Indian Institute of Technology in 1978 and his PhD from the University of California in 1983. He led the Caltech Optical Observatories as director from 2006 to 2018, significantly advancing the field of observational astronomy. Kulkarni has received many awards, including the National Science Foundation’s Alan T. Waterman Award and the Dan David Prize. He has also authored or co-authored more than 60 papers in the journal Nature by the age of 60.

Under Kulkarni’s guidance, the Palomar Transient Factory made several discoveries in astronomy. The Zwicky Transient Facility has continued this work, helped astronomers study, and understand transient cosmic events. These projects have allowed scientists to observe and analyse short-lived astronomical phenomena, greatly expanding our knowledge of the universe.
