Mangaluru, Oct 1: In a first of its kind initiative, city-based Vikas Group of Institutions has planned to introduce a one year Diploma Program in Hostel Management.

According former minister Krishna J Palemar, who is the chairman of the Vikas group, presently, there are no other diploma or certificate programmes for hostel wardens anywhere in the world and Vikas is the first institution in the world to offer such a programme.

Speaking to media persons here on Monday, Mr Palemar said: While planning to offer this course, Vikas Group has kept in mind the fact that those appointed as wardens in hostels have until now never undergone any training in hostel management as well as the ways to deal with students who are away from their homes and face teenage issues including depression, fear of failures etc.

The move has also come in the backdrop of an alarming trend in the number of suicides among youngsters and the problem of drug abuse, social media addiction as well as an addiction of viewing sexually explicit contents online.

The one year diploma programme in hostel management including internship will have compulsory as well as optional subjects wherein candidates will be trained in management of hostels for boys and girls at post graduate, undergraduate and primary school levels.

Vikas Group recommends the government to create unique IDs for wardens in order to facilitate job opening and transfers and also to create a warden database of the state/country. The overall objective is the holistic development of wardens and also to help in creation jobs as part of Skill India initiative.

The Vikas Group also plans to hold regular orientation camps to improve the overall efficiency of wardens and will host Conclave of wardens at state and national level.

“We further appeals to the Karnataka governor Vajubhai Vala, chief minister H D Kumaraswamy as well as the education minister to take the initiative in introducing such diploma programme in every district of the state. Vikas also plans to offer training to the trainers to conduct this diploma programme in other parts of the state and country,” he said.

Dr Ananth Prabhu G, Director, Vikas Edu Solutions, Dr Shivakumar Magada, Professor of Aquatic Biology, College of Fisheries Mangaluru were also present.

A Tragic End—Mortal Remains of Entrepreneur Mumtaz Ali Found In River

News Network

October 7,2024

Mangaluru, Oct 7: In a heartbreaking turn of events, the search for Mumtaz Ali, chairman of Misbah Group of Educational Institutions, ended with the discovery of his mortal remains in the Phalguni river near Kulur. The somber discovery came after an exhaustive search, leaving a community in shock and sorrow.

He is the younger brother of former MLA Mohuiddin Bawa and former MLC B M Farookh.

The incident has taken a deeply distressing turn with the filing of an FIR against six individuals, including a woman, who are accused of pushing Ali to a tragic end.

The accused allegedly blackmailed Ali, fabricating a story about his involvement in an illicit relationship with the woman. Reports suggest that they extorted Rs 50 lakh from Ali and were unrelenting, demanding an additional Rs 50 lakh from him, casting a shadow over his final days.

The complaint, lodged by Ali’s grieving brother, accuses these individuals of driving him to despair through relentless blackmail and false accusations, ultimately leading him to take the tragic step.

In the early hours of Sunday, Ali left his home at 3 am, heading towards Suratkal, perhaps seeking some solace. A minor accident occurred when his car collided with a private bus near MCF. Despite the mishap, he offered a heartfelt apology to the bus driver and conductor—a gesture that now echoes with the pain of his unspoken struggles. After the collision, Ali made a U-turn near Panambur circle, driving back towards Kulur bridge, where his journey came to a sorrowful end.

Ali’s last moments hold an even deeper sadness, as he left behind a voice message in Byari, naming an individual who had been tormenting him mentally. Sent to his daughter and a close friend, the message revealed the unbearable burden he was carrying, hinting at his final decision to end his suffering.

This tragic loss has left the community and his loved ones grappling with unanswered questions and a profound sense of grief. As the investigation unfolds, the memory of Mumtaz Ali lingers, a reminder of the silent battles that too often go unseen.
