Inaugurating the scholarship distribution programme organised by the UAE-based Bearys Cultural Forum (BCF) at Loyola Hall here on Sunday, Mr Bava said that the contribution of BCF for past 15 years in this regard is commendable.

Opining that the people of backward communities have today realised the importance of formal education, Mr Bava said that philanthropic organisations like BCF should continue to strive towards the upliftment of the community.

Delivering the keynote address B M Farooq, Chairman, Fiza Group of Companies, Bengaluru, said that organisations like BCF played a crucial role in improving the condition of Beary community, which has now understood the importance of education.

“Today more number of Muslim girls are perusing higher education and performing better compared to their male counterparts. This is a positive development. However, Muslim boys also should work hard,” he said.

Scholarships to 600 students

Scholarships were distributed among 600 college students of different courses from pre-university to post-graduation degrees. Besides, as many as nine students who did exceptionally well in SSLC and PUC exams this year and one sports achiever were presented the BCF Awards.

Like previous years wheel-chairs were handed over to the physically challenged and sewing machines to women from financially backward families.

B M Mumtaz Ali, patron of BCF welcomed the gathering. Ibrahim Kodijal, MUDA chairman, K Mohammed Haris, MD of Mukka Sea Food Industries Pvt Ltd, Dr A M Khan, professor and registrar (evaluation), Mangalore University, Fathaulla Saheb Tonse, MD, Barsha International Group, Satish Poojary, president Billawa Association, Dubai, Abdulla Madumoole, general secretary, BWF Abu Dhabi, M B Noor Mohammed Mulky, Hyder Parthipadi, Inayath Ali, M K Abdul Khader were present among others.

Earlier in the morning, a career guidance programme was organised for students. JR Lobo, MLA, Mangaluru South, inaugurated the session. Dr Kaup Mohammed, Dean of UAE London American City College, was the resource person. Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal offered dua.

Chamarajanagar, Feb 7: Health authorities in Karnataka have constituted a mobile team of doctors to monitor villages sharing a border with Kerala districts.

Strong vigil is being maintained by the health authorities in Karnataka after three confirmed cases of Coronavirus was detected in Kerala.

Kerala Health Minister KK Shailaja on Wednesday had informed that three positive cases of Coronavirus were found in the state and other suspects were being monitored in isolation.

The virus originated in Wuhan in December and has since then spread to various parts around the world.

China has imposed quarantine and travel restrictions, affecting the movement of 56 million people in more than a dozen cities, amid fears that the transmission rate will accelerate.

Chennai, July 27: Multi-lingual actress Vijayalakshmi, who attempted suicide yesterday, alleging harassment and bullying by followers of Naam Thamizhar party leader Seeman and Panankattu Padai’s Hari Nadar, is recuperating at a hospital in Chennai. 

Vijayalakshmi is known for films like Friends and Boss Engira Baskaran. She recently made headlines for speaking against Seeman and the torture she was allegedly facing from the actor-turned-politician and his party.

In the video which was uploaded on Sunday evening, Vijayalakshmi said, “This is my last video and I have been in tremendous stress in the last four months because of Seeman and his partymen. I tried my level best to survive all these days because of my mother and sister, but I have been humiliated in the media by Harinadar recently.”

She added, “I would like to tell fans who are watching the video just because I was born in Karnataka, Seeman has tortured me a lot. As a woman, I have put up with it to my highest capabilities. I won’t be able handle the pressure anymore. I am from the Pillai community, the same community LTTE leader Prabhakaran is part of. Prabhakaran is the only reason Seeman is who he is today, but now he has been harassing me on social media continuously. You slut shamed me to make me feel the pain and it is up to me to decide on what to do after facing such insults from you. I request my fans not to let Seeman get away from this case. He should never get anticipatory bail. My death should be a big eye-opener to everyone. I don’t want to be a slave to anybody.”

Amaravati, May 7: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday said that Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has assured him to offer immediate help to stranded Andhra fishermen.

Around 300 Andhra Pradesh fishermen are stranded on the coast of Malpe village in Udupi district.

"Karnataka CM has responded very positively and assured to offer the stranded fishermen immediate help. The fishermen hail from Srikakulam district in Andhra Pradesh.

Yediyurappa has also said that their team was also contacting Andhra Pradesh authorities to safely bring them back to their home state," Naidu said in a statement on Twitter.

In a separate letter to Yediyurappa, Naidu lauded the tremendous efforts that the government of Karnataka has been putting to fight COVID-19 and expressed his solidarity with the people there in this critical time.

Naidu said that many Telugu people that have migrated to other states for work were facing various problems due to the COVID-induced lockdown.

"In this backdrop, I would like to bring to your notice that around 300 fishing folk from Srikakulam District are stranded in Malpe Village, Udupi District, Karnataka. Their families, relatives and well-wishers are deeply worried for their safety and well being," Naidu said.

The TDP chief said that on behalf of those families and on his own behalf, he would appeal for sending the stranded fishermen back to their respective homes.

"In case that is not possible, I request you to provide them with shelter, food, water, medical aid and other essential commodities until the end of COVID lockdown," TDP chief said in a letter.
