A true para ...but, not for long  
Crystal clear water, soft golden sand, rows of palms and other tropical plants... Belekaana beach is all this and more. The world stops here at the long shoreline. Sadly, this splendid and sunny beach will soon lose its beauty to the Tadadi Thermal Power Project, once it is implemented. Santoshkumar Mehendale reports.
Smoke-free & prosperous  
Its a tiny hamlet which has done away with the use of fossil fuels, where solar cookers and biogas plants are the order of the day. Welcome to Bysanivaripalli, the only smoke-free village in the country. M A Siraj outlines the success story of the village.
Why, oh why?  
Elsewhere in the world, historic sites are preserved with utmost care. But, not so at Ainapur, where the famous Sultana Jahan Begums tomb is vandalised to no end and is being used as a public toilet. A shocked Raju S Vijapur reports.
The fairness of it all!  
At the biennial Sirsi Marikamba fair, animal sacrifice is a strict no-no, writes Sandhya Hegde Almane.
Friend, philosopher & guide  
In an effort to give an honourable existence to rag pickers, a rural bank in Dharwad has been teaching the rag pickers the ABC of banking. Pradeepkumar Kadkol reports.
