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.
