Bolpu seeks to support ventures, ideas and thoughts of aspiring entrepreneurs, Capt. Chowta

Dakshina Kannada MP Capt. Brijesh Chowta said the Bolpu initiative launched on Saturday, July 12, seeks to bring out at least 10 success stories of aspiring entrepreneurs every year, 50 in all for the next five years. Speaking at the launch of Bolpu, meaning light or dawn, here, Capt. Chowta said the initiative seeks not just to find new ideas, but also to support ventures, ideas and thoughts which need support from policy, legal, regulatory, finance, and banking perspectives, and link it to government programmes. Capt. Chowta said the Bolpu team would pick up around 10 ventures every year and over a period of five years, there would be at least 50 success stories from the region. Over a period of time, he wants Bolpu to be a community-driven programme wherein every resident of Dakshina Kannada finds a reason to support entrepreneurs. Trade and industry bodies, including the Kanara Chamber of Industry and Commerce (KCCI), Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), Kanara Industries Association (KIA), different government departments and others would hand-hold aspiring entrepreneurs to launch their projects, the MP said. Capt. Chowta said Dakshina Kannada has several success stories of entrepreneurs; but not many stories were told to the world. Even temple management in the coast, right from performing poojas to distribution of anna prasada, was a model that could be followed by entrepreneurs. Though the region had been the cradle for many start-ups in banking, hospitality, education, healthcare, and many more long back, when the word start-up was coined, the younger generation began moving towards the IT field. Now it was time to encourage young entrepreneurs to set up successful business models and implement the 'Back to Ooru' (back to native) initiative. Dakshina Kannada thus could be the start-up capital of many enterprises. Instead of attempting to bring in entities, namely, Infosys or TCS to Mangaluru, youngsters here should build the region's own Infosys or TCS, he said. On the occasion, the website of Bolpu along with QR code was launched to guide the aspiring entrepreneurs. TiE Mangaluru president Rohith Bhat, KCCI vice-president P.B. Ahmed Mudassar, CII Mangaluru president K.N. Nataraj Hegde and Karnataka Digital Economy Mission's Beyond Bengaluru vice-president Chetan Dixit announced support of their organisations to the Bolpu initiative. Later, they exchanged a memorandum of understanding with Capt. Chowta. Mangaluru City South MLA D, Vedavyasa Kamath, former Minister B. Nagaraja Shetty, former MLC Ganesh Karnik and others were present.

BA (Hons) Statistics vs BSc Data Science: Who should choose? Career prospects and more

('The Right Choice' is a series by The Indian Express that addresses common questions, misconceptions, and doubts surrounding undergraduate admissions. You can read the stories here) — Prof. Pushkar Shah With data powering decisions across industries, from finance and healthcare to e-commerce and public policy, students often struggle with choosing Statistics or Data Science. While both speak the language of numbers, they approach the problem with different purposes. A BA in Statistics will offer a strong mathematical foundation with a focus on probability, inference, mathematical modelling, and hypothesis testing. It requires rigorous training and analytical skills. Graduates often pursue master's and doctorates and go on to pick up roles in think tanks, government services, public policy, market research, and academia. These also lead to advanced careers in economics and quantitative fields. BA (Hons) Economics vs BCom (Hons): Which degree will offer a gateway to business & policy? In contrast, a in Data Sciences blends statistics with programming. The emphasis is on coding, data wrangling, machine learning, and visualisation. Students essentially learn how to handle large, real-world data, and apply models to solve business problems – skills which are highly valued by startups, tech firms, consulting, and digital-first companies. Though both these streams deal with numbers, the career prospects follow different trajectories. Headhunters looking for model builders in research or forecasting often look out for statistics graduates. Whereas, data science roles such as data engineers, data scientists, business analysts, etc., demand more coding fluency and an applied mindset. BA Maths (Hons), BCom Maths (Hons) or BSc Maths (Hons): Which one should you choose? In India, the recent emphasis on developing newer technologies and applied services has raised the demand for both streams. Traditional sectors such as banking, insurance, and government look out for statistics graduates. The surge in digital transformation and the use of AI and GenAI in mainstream industry has driven the demand for data science talent across upcoming tech corridors. If you enjoy mathematical logic, abstract thinking, and are just curious to identify patterns in data at a basal level, then statistics is your path. If you enjoy being a trouble shooter, using code, and building data solutions, then data science is a more natural fit. BA (Hons) History or BA (Hons) Political Science: Which one should a student choose Ultimately, both will lead to the same destination, using data to make sense of how the world around you works. What matters is where you'd like to begin. (The author is an Associate Professor of Practice, Analytics at Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai)
