Mangalore, July 31: “Initiative of Talent Research Foundation gave me self-confidence and a sense of social responsibility. I now teach students who had to curtail their education due to personal problems”, said Ashraf Bengre.

Bushra, a 22 year old girl, said that she had left school for four years before TRF insisted her to face SSLC exams. “The TRF encouraged me to continue education and helped to complete PUC too. Now, I am pursuing my graduation along with 20 other drop-outs. I am grateful to TRF for guiding and encouraging us”, she said.

Like Ashraf and Bushra there were several beneficiaries of TRF's “Marali Baa Shaalege” (return to school) campaign, who exhibited a new spirit and enthusiasm at “Inspire-2011”- Drop-out Students & Teachers Meet organised by TRF at Jamiyyathul Falah Auditorium here on Sunday.

Mohammed Rafiq Master, Advisor, TRF, outlined the campaign of TRF and said that the organisation has 69 centres across Karnataka and over 700 drop-out students have written exams this year.

TRF is working hard to educate the students who have had to quit school due to various reasons. A widow and a mother of three, is among the students who wrote SSLC exams this year under our program, he informed.

The program was inaugurated by Ashraf Bengre and Mohammed Yusuf, beneficiaries of the program by releasing TRF project guide for the year 2011-2012.

Dr. Mohammed Kaup, General Secretary, Beary's Cultural Forum, congratulated the efforts of TRF and advised the students to pursue higher education.

“SSLC or PUC is not enough if you wish to excel in this competitive world”, he observed. He also noted that age is no bar to get educated.

“I have had a student who passed his 12th at the age of 55, and Bachelors Degree at 60” he recollected. We should be thirsty to know more, he said motivating the students to work harder in their lives.

He appreciated the teachers, who endured great troubles in educating drop-out students.

227 students have passed their SSLC and PUC under this campaign this academic year.

Abdul Rauf Putthige, Chairman, TRF, Kasim Ahmed H K, Founder-President, Hidayah Foundation, K K Sahul Hameed, General Secretary, Jamiyyathul Falah Udupi & Dakshina Kannada districts were present among the others.

Udupi, Nov 11: A traveller reportedly lost ₹4.1 lakh after attempting to book a cab online in Udupi. 

At around 1:30 PM on November 7, the man from West Bengal searched for car rentals on Google and selected a website named "Shakti Car Rentals." Shortly after, he was contacted by someone claiming to be "Rohit Sharma," who directed him to pay a registration fee of ₹150 on the site.

After unsuccessful payment attempts via both his Canara Bank debit card and SBI credit card (without receiving an OTP), "Rohit Sharma" instructed him to pay the driver directly. But at 1:47 PM, he received messages showing deductions of ₹3.3 lakh from his SBI credit card and ₹80,056 from his Canara Bank debit card, totaling ₹4.1 lakh.

The complainant alleges fraud through a deceptive link disguised as a booking token fee. A case has been registered at Udupi Town Police Station.

Udupi, Nov 11: The Karkala town police in Udupi have arrested Krishna Naik, the sculptor responsible for installing a 33-foot Parashurama statue at Umikkal Hill in Bailur, Karkala taluk. 

Naik, the owner of Krish Art World and a resident of Bengaluru's Visvesvaraya Layout, was apprehended in Mahe, part of the Union Territory of Puducherry, for allegedly substituting a look-alike statue in place of a genuine bronze figure at the Parashurama Theme Park in Karkala.

Udupi Superintendent of Police Dr. Arun K confirmed the arrest, stating that Naik faces charges under Sections 420 (cheating) and 409 (criminal breach of trust) of the Indian Penal Code. 

This legal action followed a complaint lodged in June by Krishna Shetty, a resident of Nallur village, Karkala. Shetty claimed that Naik had received a payment of ₹1,25,50,000 from Udupi Nirmithi Kendra for the installation of a bronze Parashurama statue. However, Naik allegedly deceived the government by installing a replica instead.

The statue was unveiled on January 27, 2023, by then Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. Current Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has since ordered a CID investigation to probe deeper into the alleged fraud surrounding the statue's installation at the theme park.

Bengaluru, Nov 1: Hardline BJP leader and Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "Nationalise Waqf Assets", alleging Waqf board of "blatant violation" in claiming of the lands of Farmers, temples and mutts.

Taking to his social media, Basanagouda Patil Yatnal posted on X, saying "I have written a letter to the hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji to Nationalize the Waqf Assets in view of the arbitrary, blatant violation in claiming of the lands of Farmers, Landowners, Temples, Trusts and Mutts across the country by the Waqf board. All the citizens of the country have equal rights on the land. If the motive of Waqf is welfare and social service, this has to be done without bias and religious discrimination as India is a secular nation."

Additionally, Vijayapura MLA also attached the letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his post.

Earlier, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya had accused the Waqf Board of encroaching on thousands of acres of farmers' lands with the support of the Karnataka government.

Surya stated, "There have been multiple press conferences and videos in the public domain where the Minister himself has admitted that these Waqf adalats are being conducted under the Chief Minister's instructions. This is a grave matter, where thousands of acres of farmers' lands are being encroached upon by the Waqf Board with the active support and collusion of the State Government."

He mentioned that, in recent days, farmers from various districts across Karnataka have reported that, without prior notice, ownership of their lands has been abruptly transferred to the Waqf Board.

Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge criticised BJP MP Tejasvi Surya, claiming he has done nothing for Bengaluru. Kharge's remarks came in response to the BJP MP's accusations regarding Waqf Board land encroachment.

The Congress leader assured that the Karnataka government is committed to protecting farmers' properties.

Kharge further questioned the BJP's record on protecting temples during its previous government, stating that the Karnataka government is committed to safeguarding temples and common people's properties.
