Answers
Answer:
D. Devaraj Urs served two separate terms as Chief Minister for the state of Karnataka. His first term was between the 20th of March 1972 and the 31st of December 1977. His second term as Chief Minister was between the 28th of February 1978 and the 7th of January 1980. He was succeeded by R. Gundu Rao in the Chief Minister’s chair.
follower of the late Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Urs sought to implement the “elimination of poverty” agenda during his term as Chief Minister. He addressed several questions such as,
Education of the “backward” classes of society.
Establishment and maintenance of hostels for members of the backward classes and minorities.
Allocation of stipend funds for the 16,000 odd unemployed members of the minority sections of society.
Abolition of bonded labor, night soil carrying duties allocated solely to members of the Dalit caste.
Land reforms according to which the tiller or the farmer became the owner.
The Kali project for irrigation purposes.
Political and Social Reforms by Devaraj Urs
The land reforms were especially applauded as they were instrumental in erasing the Zamindar system. They afforded self-respect and a sense of dignity to the farmers who were hitherto treated as bonded labor. The question of social justice therefore saw the light of day due to the efforts and changes effected by Devaraj Urs.
Further, Devaraj Urs chose educated academics to be members of the state cabinet. This was a move that was new and received stiff opposition from party members.
