Bengaluru: The government is trying to popularize the Gujarat-based Amul brand in Karnataka by taking back the Nandini brand and has taken a political turn. Congress leaders are alleging that the ruling BJP is plotting to dump dairy brand Nandini.
Meanwhile, the Save Nandini campaign is making a lot of noise on social media and media. Amul is bringing new freshness in the form of milk and curd. Amul has shared information on its Twitter account that if you order online, it will be delivered at your doorstep. Amul, which has opened Twitter and Facebook accounts in Kannada, has not clarified the price set per litre.
Save Nandini, Boycott Amul: As the government is currently busy with elections, it will not do anything to save KMF, let’s save our KMF, our Nandini, let’s make up our minds and reject Amul products,” is the call on social media. The campaign has started with the hashtag Boycott Amul, Save Nandini KMF. .

Not only the cooperative sector, but also the public, organizations and political leaders have strongly opposed Amul’s move to sell milk and yogurt in the state in violation of the unwritten cooperative rule.
“If Amul is allowed to enter the local market, the identity of the Kannadigas will also be affected. The reputation earned by the state’s cooperative sector over the years will be destroyed,” the public said.

In a heartbreaking event that has shaken Hubli, Karnataka, a five-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped and killed, sparking outrage in the community. The suspect, a 35-year-old migrant worker from Patna, Bihar, was later killed in a police encounter on Sunday, April 13, 2025, according to authorities.

Using CCTV footage, officers identified the suspect, Ritesh Kumar, who was accused of abducting and murdering the child.

The community rallied outside Ashok Nagar police station, demanding justice and expressing frustration. Some locals called for harsh punishment, while others raised concerns about migrant workers, though the Police Commissioner urged against generalizations.

Imagine a once-dry lake in Karnataka’s Bidar city, now buzzing with life, supporting local fishermen, and pulling in visitors from nearby cities. That’s the story of Janawada Lake—a stunning transformation that’s breathing new energy into the community and turning heads as a must-visit picnic spot.
How Janawada Lake Rejuvenation Turned Into a Sustainable Source of Income for Local Fishermen
Thanks to the Mission Amrit Sarovar program under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), this lake got a second chance. Back in 2022, the rejuvenation project kicked off, aiming to revive 91 lakes across Bidar district. Janawada was one of them, and boy, has it paid off! After two solid monsoon seasons, the lake is brimming again, proving that a little care can go a long way.
For the local fishing families, it’s been a game-changer. Two societies, made up of 65 hardworking members, are now thriving here, raising four popular fish species—goldfish, catla, mrigal, and rohu. In just two years, they’ve harvested around 10 quintals of fish, sending their catch to big markets like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune. It’s not just about the fish; it’s about steady income and hope for folks who’ve long depended on this land.
But it’s not all work and no play. Janawada Lake’s peaceful vibes and lush surroundings have caught the eye of tourists too. “It’s the natural beauty and easy access that make it a perfect getaway,” says Girish Badole, the Chief Executive Officer of Bidar Zilla Panchayat. Whether you’re from a neighboring village or just passing through, the lake’s charm is hard to resist.
Janamma, the Deputy Director of the Fisheries Department in Bidar, calls it an ambitious success. “We took on this project to bring ponds and lakes back to life, and Janawada is proof it’s working,” she says. The Sagar Society, which leases the lake for fish farming, has turned it into a sustainable hub—balancing livelihoods with nature.
So, next time you’re looking for a serene escape or a peek into a community reborn, Janawada Lake in Bidar might just be your spot. It’s more than a lake—it’s a story of revival, resilience, and a little slice of paradise in Karnataka.
