Udupi, Jan 16: Renovated with sustainable eco-friendly features by the Bearys Group, the Badriya Jum’a Masjid of Kodi in Kundapur taluk was formally inaugurated by Moulana Sayyed Mohammed Rabey Hasani Nadvi, president, All India Muslim Personal Law Board, in the presence of a galaxy of religious scholars.

Speaking on the occasion he said that a mosque is centre of love, peace and humanity and it spreads the message of peace and brotherhood. He also called upon the Muslims to be harbingers of global peace by following the teachings of Quran and Sunnah.

Applauding Bearys Group for converting Badriya Jum’a Masjid into world’s first ‘zero energy’ eco-friendly green mosque, Maulana Mufti Mohammed Ashraf Ali Baqavi, principal of Darul Uloom Sabeelur Rashad, said that people of Kodi now bear the responsibility to spread peace and brotherhood through this facility.

Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal, Khazi of Udupi district, CMD, Bearys Group, UT Khader, Minister for Health and Family Welfare were present among others.

The mosque design has integrated Islamic architecture and sustainable technologies. The important feature of this green building is that its entire energy requirement is met through hybrid renewable energy, both wind and solar.

80 year old mosque

Mr Beary said that the mosque was built by his grandfather 80 years ago. It was renovated 40 years ago and now it was renovated again with eco-friendly measures. “It is our little contribution in India’s march towards sustainable development,” he said and hoped that the mosque will become a holistic place of worship where people from all over the world can come, pray and find true solace.

The mosque, built on 15,000 sqft area, at a cost of Rs 2 crore has come up in a palatial ground accommodating greenery in and around. The cooling of the building is achieved by using elements of nature. The building orientation minimizes solar heat gain.

The ‘L’ shaped building plan and elevated nature of the prayer hall, green vegetation and water tanks around it offer a naturally cooled environment. The solar heat reflecting terrace floor, laid with white China mosaics and fitted with turbo vents, not only keep the prayer space cool, but also reduces warming of local micro climate, he said.

The power consumed is six kilo watts as against the actual requirement of 40 to 50 kilo watts. Its open envelope with sun rays travelling and non-conducting Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Jallis with over 50 per cent openings, increase natural ventilation.

The natural cooling of the building is accentuated by the wind scoop on 70 foot multifunctional Minaret (from where the Azan, the call for prayer is given) which forces down draft of cool breeze into the prayer hall and also supports the tower structure of wind turbine mounted atop it.

Use of hybrid renewable energy (Wind and solar energy) in the mosque will produce more energy than used by the mosque, thus feeding energy to state grid and accruing (CER) credits for next 25 years.

“Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-Regenerate” technology has been implemented here and it is equipped with “Pressmatic” (Taps with technology that allows only a fixed quantity of water to flow with every press of its knob) water fixtures to conserve precious water, he claimed.

The calligraphy in Arabic, Chinese and Japanese languages on the walls of the mosque is done by Mukhthar Ahmed, the head of Institute of Indo-Islamic Art and culture, Bengaluru. The mosque also accommodates a library.

Mangaluru, May 8: After continuous pressure on Union government from Karnataka NRI Forum- UAE, the first special flight carrying 180 Kannadigas who stranded at UAE due to Covid-19 pandemic will fly from Dubai to Mangaluru on May 14.

The special flight will take off from Dubai at 4.10 p.m. UAE time to reach Mangaluru at 9.10 pm IST on May 14. Earlier it was reported that the flight will operate on May 12. However, sources of Mangaluru International Airport and Air India today confirmed that first flight will be on May 14.

The state government has directed Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts authority to quarantine all passengers once they reach.

All Kannadigas will be given permission to travel back home only after they test negative in Covid test at Dubai airport.

In fact, Karnataka was missing in the list of states to receive special flights when Ministry of External Affairs arranged them to bring stranded Indians at UAE. Special flights were arranged only to Kerala and Tamil Nadu people stranded at UAE in the first stage.

Thanks to Karnataka NRI Forum of UAE which opened helpline (https://uaekannadahelpline.club) to seek assistance to Kannadigas, nearly 2000 Kannadigas have registered for assistance in which 127 pregnant women, 27 senior citizens, 700 people who have lost jobs aftermath of coronavirus sought assistance from NRI forum.

After providing food and shelter to Kannadigas who lost jobs at UAE since March 2020, NRI forum put pressure on both state and Centre to arrange special flights to send them to home.

The NRI Forum has approached Indian Consulate at UAE and chief minister BS Yediyurappa to evacuate Kannadigas, but got no response. Following this, Karnataka NRI Forum President Praveen Shetty approached Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers DV Sadananda Gowda for help. Gowda immediately responded the call and he spoke to MEE to arrange special flight for Kannadigas as well.

Indian government has promised to arrange special flight to Mangaluru or Bengaluru by next week to bring Kannadigas.

Comparing to other Indian States, Karnataka has the highest number of its people working in UAE. Around 1.25 lakhs Kannadigas are working in UAE in which majority are working classes. Due to Covid-19 pandemic thousands of workers have lost jobs, Mr. Shetty explained.

"Indian government had arranged special flights from US, UK, Singapur and other countries to bring back Indians, but excluded UAE in the list. Actually, lakhs of Indians are working in UAE as labourers and in odd jobs, the government should have given first priority to bring labourers rather rich one", he opined.

"BJP has 27 MPs from Karnataka. We continuously requested all BJP MPs and state government but none of them came to our help. Thanks to Mr Gowda for his timely intervention to bring stranded Kannadigas", Mr Shetty said.

Mangaluru | KCCI unveils ‘Let’s Fight Back Together’ campaign against covid-19

Media Release

July 31,2020

Mangaluru, July 31: Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has unveiled a campaign both on digital media and outdoor billboards on bringing awareness on the right usage of masks, social distancing and hand washing in the fight against COVID19. The campaign has received very good response and attention on social media and with the citizens of Mangaluru.

While the numbers of Covid-19 infected people were increasing and a vaccine would take some more time it was observed that norms of social distancing and other precautionary practices were thrown to the wind. Many people in Dakshina Kannada were found using masks inappropriately. Wearing a mask in a scientific way by covering both the nose and mouth is imperative to control droplets that spread the virus. We need to rise above our inconvenience to fight the virus.

Considering this the KCCI found an immediate need to bring awareness and constant reminder to people on the right usage of masks, social distancing, washing hands and other dos and don’ts to stay ahead of the virus and beat the pandemic.

A digital campaign and an outdoor advertisement campaign were planned by the chamber to remind and encourage people to follow best practices when interacting with others.

The theme of the Campaign was decided to be “Let’s Fight Back Together” Origin Designext a Creative Agency in Mangalore was roped in to do the creative for the campaign and a team from KCCI worked with the Agency to shape up the campaign with their inputs. In the meantime Indian Red Cross Society Dakshina Kannada and Rotary Mangaluru expressed their interest to support the Campaign.

Mangaluru based outdoor agencies like Jyothi Advertisers, Kalkura Advertisers and Gee Dee Advertisers agreed to provide outdoor space gratis to this community service campaign. Presented both in English and Kannada, the campaign has been creating waves on social media and on the street, a sign that it is being very well received by the populace of Mangalore city.

The creative of Half Covered or Half exposed where a model is shown with a mask that exposes the nose and KA-19 v/s COVID-19 (KA-19 being the Vehicle Registration Code for the District) have been particularly making a buzz in the community. All together 14 hoardings are currently on display with various Covid-19 awareness messages. Many business houses have shown interest to participate in this public awareness campaign.

The Chamber hopes this campaign would go a long way in the fight of the city against COVID-19 and play its role in putting the pandemic behind us. “Businesses and our economy has suffered enough, we need to work together to fight this virus, we need to rise above minor inconvenience and win this war,” says Isaac Vas the President to KCCI.
