Bengaluru, Oct 31: Bearys are known for their honesty in pursuit of their activities in all fields upholding moral values in life and has contributed immensely for education especially in the field of education for girl students, said former Prime Minister and Janata Dal (Secular) supremo H D Deve Gowda.

He was speaking at a function organised by Bearys' Welfare Association to disburse merit awards to the outstanding students of the community who excelled in various public examinations.

Mr Gowda said that it was apt for JD(S) to nominate industrialist BM Farooq as a candidate of the party in the last Rajya Sabha election as a recognition to the community in particular and the minorities in general.

“Though we could not get him elected, the allegiance to the party was continued by Mr. Farooq true to the values the community stood for. It is therefore incumbent on JD(S) party to see that the community is rewarded with a position equivalent to that enjoyed by U T Khader in the present Government,” he said.

He said that even though many leaders from the community betrayed the trust by the party, Mr. Farooq a Byari lived up to the expectations of the party even after his defeat in the Rajyasabha election.

Mr Gowda also said that his party is conscious that common civil code cannot be forced upon the minorities. “JD(S) will strive hard to protect the interests of Muslims and other minority communities as envisaged under our Constitution," he said.

U T Khader, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, Mohiuddin Bava and N A Haris, MLAs also spoke on the occasion.

Fouzia and Sameera from Dakshina Kannada, who are running an educational institution, were felicitated for their outstanding contributions to the community in the field of education.

B A Mohideen, former minister for education and the recipient of Devaraj Urs award, was honoured in the function. BM Farooq, the President of Bearys' Welfare Association, welcomed the gathering.

Kick-off nears: Mangaluru’s football ground gets a modern makeover with new astro turf

News Network

May 13,2025

A new chapter is unfolding for football in Mangaluru as the football ground adjacent to Nehru Maidan receives a modern artificial turf, with completion expected by the end of May. This long-awaited upgrade promises to significantly enhance the playing experience for both budding and seasoned footballers in the region.

The project, spearheaded by Mangaluru Smart City Limited (MSCL), involves laying synthetic turf across the 90,000 sq ft ground at a cost of ₹2.5 crore. Equipped with efficient drainage systems, the revamped ground will support uninterrupted play throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions.

“This is a long-pending demand of the football community here,” said D.M. Aslam of the Dakshina Kannada District Football Association. “We expect the turf work to be completed in the next two weeks. Currently, around 150 children practice regularly at the ground, and we anticipate that number to rise once the new surface is open.”

MSCL General Manager (Technical), Arun Prabha K.S., noted that while the project had been planned for some time, groundwork officially began after last year’s monsoon league concluded in August. “Once completed, this facility will be a full-fledged synthetic turf suitable for training, local tournaments, and league matches,” he said.

With the inauguration expected soon after the final touches are completed, the new astro turf is set to elevate the city’s football infrastructure and serve as a springboard for talent development across the district.

Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada district has secured the top position in Karnataka in the SSLC (Class 10) results for the academic year 2024–25, with a pass percentage of 91.12%, as announced on Friday.

In the previous academic year (2023–24), the district had ranked second in the state with a higher pass percentage of 92.12%. Despite a 1% drop in the pass rate this year, the district has risen to the top position. In 2022–23, it had ranked 17th with 89.52%.

Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI) Venkatesh S Patagar attributed the district’s improved rank to several focused initiatives. Among them were the timely completion of the syllabus by December 2024 and subject-wise special classes.

Special attention was given to slow learners through dedicated support classes. The department also organized fortnightly parent meetings to track students' academic progress.

To instill discipline and a consistent study routine, schools made regular wake-up calls to students in the mornings and evenings. Other initiatives included model question paper practice, the 'Jnana Sinchana' live YouTube series, online doubt-clearing sessions, and interactive radio phone-in programs.

Students were also encouraged to attempt the 'Vijayeebhava' question paper series, developed and published by the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Udupi.
