Hard work pays off for Rahman Salman Ullal
UT Khader , Shaheen College help rural lad to get MBBS seat
Ullal, June 12: A hardworking boy from rural background completed his PUC with a good percentage from prestigious PU college of Mangalore. However, his dream of becoming Doctor shattered after realizing that his PU board marks are not the criteria for getting an MBBS seat.
Rahman Salman from Ullal had good CET ranking for Engineering, through which he can get an engineering seat of his choice in the best college of Karnataka. But the young boy avoided all the temptations and held to his dream of becoming a doctor.
Salman's father, who runs a petty shop with meager income and responsibility of upbringing five children, did not stop his son to pursue his dream. He took his son to Minister UT Khader, for the right guidance and support. From there the journey of this boy to realize his dream started. Mr. Khader personally called MD of Shaheen Bangalore and gave the background of this boy to secure a seat for one year Long Term Batch. This year NEET-2018, Rahman Salman achieved 546 marks with 99.334 percentile.
"The Ideal Learning Competitive atmosphere and the faculty at Shaheen Bangalore made it possible to realize my dream of pursuing MBBS course," Rahman Salman said.

Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka government on Monday issued a nutrition advisory recommending healthier food and beverage options at meetings, functions, and other official gatherings held in the state.
The advisory has been issued by the Department of Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Services to promote healthy dietary and nutritional habits among officials and staff, noting that food, refreshments and beverages served in government offices and official programmes are "often not aligned with nutrition standards."
The advisory recommends serving snacks such as millet-based, low-fat and low-sugar foods, fresh fruits, vegetable salads, sprouts, roasted nuts and seeds during in-house office meetings and breaks.
Beverages such as green tea, low-fat buttermilk, and locally filtered or boiled water served in glass bottles or steel flasks have also been suggested.
According to the advisory, for larger government events, conferences and exhibitions, departments have been advised to include at least one millet-based item during snacks and a minimum of two millet dishes in meals, along with local cuisine and at least one regional recipe.
It also recommends the use of brown rice instead of white rice, freshly prepared vegetable salads, and fresh fruits or low-sugar fruit juices.
If non-vegetarian food is served, it should consist of well-cooked lean or white meat, the advisory stated.
In eateries operating within government office campuses, the department has recommended millet-based foods, fresh vegetable salads, boiled pulses such as horse gram or chickpeas, and low-fat beverages.
It suggests serving food using reusable metal plates and glasses.
The advisory also recommends avoiding microwave-heated food, industrially processed food, fried snacks, high-fat or heavily spiced dishes, carbonated drinks, high-sugar fruit juices, and alcoholic beverages.
It further discourages serving milk-based tea or coffee and plastic-bottled water during official events.
“Overall, hygiene and cleanliness should be maintained while serving food and water. Local cottage industries, self-help groups, prison kitchens, nutri-gardens and others should be preferred for placing food and beverage orders,” the advisory added.
