Abu Dhabi: The Bearys Welfare Forum-Abu Dhabi, recently organized a seminar on Global Economy and Repercussions on NRIs focusing mainly on Gulf Kannadigas at Grand Continental Hotel, here. Several prominent NRI personalities from various fields attended the seminar.

Saif Sultan of Hope Foundation was the resource person. Advocate Saaduddin Salih, Altaf Kateeb and Rafeq Ahmed of Sahibaan, Mohammed Hakeem of KCF, Abdul Salam Deralkatte, ICC, were guests of honor.

Abdulla Madumoole, General Secretary, BWF, delivered the introductory speech. Comparing the repercussions of the Great Depression of 1930 with that of the repercussions on the world economy after the Great Recession of 2008, he some rulers like Hitler had manipulated the hardship of people into their own advantage by exploiting the nationalistic emotions in the 30s and a similar atmosphere prevails world over now and people are vulnerable again to an emotional nationalistic blackmail.

Governments in UAE and world over spent on infrastructure projects to overcome the financial crisis exactly how America did in 30s. Though the economy of UAE has stabilized, unfortunately NRIs have been losing jobs. To discuss various issues relating to NRIs and make the people aware of investment opportunities and financial facilities available to them back in India, BWF organized this seminar “Global Economy and Repercussions on NRIs”.

Mohammed Ali Uchil, President, BWF, in his welcome address put a few words on ‘major challenges for NRIs to get adjusted in Indian conditions’. NRIs who have worked in high position in foreign countries may face problem in adjusting in India, he said adding that the big concern for NRIs is their kids who may find sudden change in their lifestyle for which they are not prepared. 

“The kids of NIRs face problems in adjusting in Indian schools. They may face problem in interaction with their pear group who may like to converse in the local language while they prefer talking in English. NRI kids have to struggle adjusting with Indian lifestyle. There are vast difference in values and habits of NRI kids and Indian children. It is observed that NRIs who are thinking of returning back must fully understand the living conditions of India before they take such a step. There are various issues that they have to be tackled while living in India and they must be aware of them.  The main hurdles may include cultural, logistical and economic etc. Rebuilding healthy relationship with their relatives, friends and others will also be a challenge. They have to follow all customs and traditions and participate in cultural and religious festivals. NRIs placed at high position in companies abroad are accustomed to a certain lifestyle. Their lifestyle in foreign countries is completely different and they may find living conditions in India a big problem. They may have to face problems like hygiene, and other such life style related issues,” he said.

He thanked BWF-executive committee members for their hard work, dedication and effort to organize the function and bring in to its complete success and spirit. “It’s an incredible achievement for BWF, which managed to accomplish so many tasks to its utmost goal set, and God willing all of its project will be a complete success.”

Mangaluru, Jan 25: Orange vendor Harekala Hajabba, popularly known as 'Akshara Santha' (the saint of alphabets), who went on to build a school at Newpadpu village on the city’s outskirts in 1999 is among this year’s Padma Shri awardees.

When Hajabba received the call on being nominated for the award, he was standing in a queue to buy rations.

As he is not fluent in Hindi, Hajabba handed over the phone to an auto driver, who conveyed the news that the Padma Shri award will be conferred on him.

The unlettered achiever set up a primary school from his meagre savings of Rs 150 per day,  selling oranges in Mangaluru. 

“The first time I felt bad for being an illiterate was when a foreigner enquired about the price of oranges in English. I did not know what he meant. So, I decided to start a school in my village,” Hajabba had said during a felicitation programme.

When Hajabba decided to start a school, he did not get any support. He started the school with 28 children.

The school today has been upgraded to a composite high school and is catering to the educational needs of hundreds of children in and around Newpadpu.

He ran from pillar to post in the Zilla Panchayat to make his dream come true. All cash awards he had received went into building the school. The United Christians Association, moved by the sight of his dilapidated house, built a 760-square-foot house costing Rs 15 lakh for him. 

Hajabba’s life was prescribed for the syllabus of three universities - Davangere, Kuvempu and Mangalore. His success story is also included in a Tulu textbook.

He won the Karnataka Rajyotsava award in 2013, Real Heroes award from TV channel CNN-IBN.

Hajabba, when contacted, said he could not believe his ears when told about the award.

New dreams

The frail vendor, in his 60s, humbly declared that he could achieve all this because of the support of all. Hajabba now dreams of upgrading the school into a full-fledged PU college.

Kuwait: The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed the whole world into a difficult situation and the situation of Indians in Kuwait is not any different. Many people have lost their jobs, have no salary, are deprived of food and are not able to pay rent. The appalling conditions of labourers, domestic workers, taxi drivers and low waged earners don’t seem to end in Kuwait. 

At this trying situation when many people were even afraid of leaving their houses because of coronavirus, Suresh S. Rao Neramballi, volunteer of the Food Kit Distribution at the ICSG (Indian Community Support Group) has helped many tremendously. He was ready to go around delivering food kits at any time possible by his car. However, after Kuwait imposed a full curfew from 11th May 2020, no one could take out their vehicles unless they had a curfew pass. 

This did not stop Mr. Suresh Neramballi, who then borrowed a bicycle from a friend and ended up going around in the cycle delivering the food kits in curfew break time (4:30pm to 6:30pm) to all those who registered in the ICSG website. This selfless service surely commands appreciation and applause. Mr. Suresh Neramballi has been a light for many families and bachelors in Kuwait and will surely garner the blessings of them who have been able to eat at this time.

He was also the one who could deliver the food kits to many Indian Muslim maids, bachelors, laborers and families previous day and right on the day of EID, as they were not able to go shopping for their groceries for EID, due to the curfew. They blessed him in EID dua. 

Mr. Suresh Neramballi hails from Mangaluru, India and is an Engineer in the Oil sector company in Kuwait. He has been dedicated to social service, achieved 'Aryabhata International Award' for his Kannada Service and Social service, served in many Associations and Distributor of Kannada and Tulu Movies in Kuwait. He wholeheartedly thanks the people and government of Kuwait for his bread and butter.
