For every work, people have to bribe. It was a big challenge before everyone on how to build a corruption free society, he said.
"Only education cannot give value to the society. Our objectives and attitudes should also be good. When the students become employees in future, they should fight against the corruption. Corruption is rampant in all the four pillars of the Constitution like Legislature, Executive, Judiciary and Media. It's unfortunate that there are no serious discussions and debates in Parliament and Assembly. Our elected representatives have been spending time in meaningless debates or commotions. As a result, public money is being wasted", he said.
What happened to UPSC and KPSC? CID has filed charge sheet against the former chairman and members of the KPSC. It was also not free from corruption, he said.
Bearys Group chairman Syed Beary said that noted businessman and Indian Green Building Council president Dr Prem C Jain who was instrumental in constructing environment-friendly buildings, was a real inspiration and today, the country has lost the father of green building with his demise. Dr Prem C Jain had indepth knowledge in air conditioning technology. For the first time, he had established environmental engineering laboratory and he has enriched the respect of the country, he said.
IGBC (skills development) president K Sriram, Prem Jain Memorial Trust trustee Payal Jain, IGBC Bengaluru unit president Dr Chandrasekhar Hariharan, Alok Shetty and others were present.
