Education that develops humanity is need of the hour, says Kemaru Swamiji at KMES event
Karkala: The new building complex of KMES Educational Institutions in Kukkundoor, Karkala, was inaugurated on Sunday. Speaking on the occasion, Shri Shri Shri Esha Vittaladasa Swamiji of Sandipani Sadhana Ashram, Shree Kshetra, Kemaru, emphasized that education is not just about obtaining degrees but must instill human values in children. True education, he said, should unite people beyond caste and religion. He appreciated the work being done by KMES Educational Institutions in this regard.
Swamiji noted that education should be a path to self-empowerment. He said that being first in life is more important than being first on paper, and that education should help us live as better human beings.

Swamiji acknowledged the major contribution of KS Nisar Ahmed and KS Imtiaz Ahmed in helping to purchase the land needed for the school from the Math, and praised their generous spirit.
Former Minister and MLA V. Sunil Kumar inaugurated the new high school building. He noted that the institution has been doing significant work in education for many years. He added that education should shape our lives, and as a result, the institution itself should grow. He said that the school is now providing quality education to the children of Karkala, and a conducive learning environment has been created.
He also acknowledged the immense contribution of KS Nisar Ahmed in the growth of the institution since its inception. He recalled that Ahmed has supported many initiatives in Karkala, including the construction and donation of an oxygen plant to the government hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant contribution to the town.

K.S. Nisar Ahmed Deserves a National Award
Speaking at the event, K.S. Imtiaz Ahmed stated that KMES Educational Institutions, which started in 1984 in a small room of an Urdu school, have grown significantly due to the support of many people. However, the unwavering encouragement, support, and cooperation of K.S. Nisar Ahmed have made him the backbone of the institution. Without his involvement, it would not have been possible to sustain the school.
He emphasized that it was Nisar Ahmed’s determination that rural poor children should receive quality education. Because of this commitment, the institution has provided free education to underprivileged children. Thousands of students educated here now hold respected positions in society as doctors, engineers, politicians, police officers, and IAS officers.
K.S. Nisar Ahmed has not only supported educational causes but has extended his help to people of all communities, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians alike. He has financially supported temples, helped poor children get married, built homes, and provided vehicles. His service to society is done without any publicity, and for this, he deserves a national award.

Delhi HC asks Jaideep Sengar to surrender in Unnao custodial death case
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi High Court on Friday asked Jaideep Sengar, brother of Unnao rape case convict Kuldeep Sengar, to surrender before jail authorities in connection with his conviction in the custodial death case of the survivor's father.
A bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja was hearing a plea by the convict for further extension of interim bail upon suspension of the 10-year sentence.
It observed that the interim bail granted to Jaideep Sengar in July 2024 was last extended in April 2025 and since then, in spite of five dates, no order of any further extension or suspension of his sentence has been passed by the court.
As the senior counsel for Jaideep Sengar urged the bench to extend the period of his release on account of his health, the bench said, "You surrender and then we will see."
"Although there is no extension of interim suspension of sentence granted, we find he has still not surrendered. Before we proceed to consider his application for further extension of suspension of sentence, we require the appellant to first surrender," the bench ordered.
The senior counsel for Jaideep Sengar assured the court that he would surrender by Saturday.
The court listed the matter for hearing next week.
Jaideep Sengar, 50, sought the bail extension on the grounds that he is suffering from oral cancer.
The Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) counsel had earlier said it was not a fit case for extension of interim bail, and the prescription given by Jaideep Sengar in support of his plea was fabricated.
In his application, Jaideep Sengar said he was suffering from stage IV oral cancer, a life-threatening condition, and had developed clinical signs of recurrence.
The condition, the plea said, required continuous and specialised medical care.
The plea also informed that Jaideep Sengar has spent about four years in custody.
The high court had granted interim bail to Jaideep Sengar on July 3, 2024, for two months on medical grounds.
Kuldeep Sengar was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for the remainder of his life on December 20, 2019, for raping the minor in 2017.
On March 13, 2020, Kuldeep Sengar, along with Jaideep Sengar, was sentenced to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment by the trial court, which also imposed a fine of Rs 10 lakh, in the custodial death case of the rape survivor's father.
The survivor's father was arrested, allegedly at the behest of the accused, under the Arms Act and died in custody on April 9, 2018, owing to police brutality.
The trial court said no leniency could be shown for killing a family's sole breadwinner.
