Mangaluru, Aug 11: A youth from Dakshina Kannada district, who had to undergo severe hardship after joining a new in Qatar, finally returned home with the help of NRI social activists from Gulf country. 

Abdul Hameed (35), hailing from Killur village in Belthangady of the coastal district was working as a light vehicle driver in Qatar for several years.

Three months ago, he changed his company when offered a better pay package. "I was made to work for about 20 hours a day. I had to rush whenever I get calls," he said.

His efforts to get help from the embassy went in vain. He called all his friends in the Gulf countries. Finally, one of his friends in Saudi Arabia brought Hameed's issue to the notice of the Karnataka Cultural Foundation (KCF), a socio-cultural organization of NRI Kannadigas.

KCF volunteers made necessary arrangements for his repatriation. Hameed took off from Qatar on August 4 and reached home safely.

Keeping in mind the less expenditure and online teaching being cost-effective, Yediyurappa said, “If you compare online teaching with the regular classroom teaching, it is not only cost-effective but also helps in savings in terms of resources. Officials must look into the new method and start introducing it as early as PU classes.”
