Mangaluru: Speaking at the ‘Bearys Campus Connect’ program organized for students and parents at the Bearys Knowledge Campus in Inoli, Mangaluru, on Saturday, CIGMA CEO and India’s leading career coach Ameen-e-Mudassar emphasized that along with education, personality, skills, and interests play a crucial role in the journey of life.

He stated that intended goals can be achieved through hard work and a disciplined lifestyle. Therefore, students should develop life values and move forward with their future dreams.

He urged parents not to focus solely on ranks and marks but to also consider their children's future and life choices. "If children are stressed before the exams, they will be happy after the exams. However, if their expectations are not met, parents should never hurt their feelings," he said.

He also noted that SSLC and PUC education form the foundation for higher education and that the marks obtained at the undergraduate level are critical. “There are about 22 entrance exams in the country, and only with good scores can students access various opportunities,” he added.

He also urged parents to instill the habit of reading newspapers in their children at home every day, without which the children will not develop their knowledge. He said that children should be encouraged to develop the habit of reading newspapers, regardless of the language

Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.

Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.

Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.

An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.

The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.

A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.

Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."

"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.

"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.

A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
