Dr. Sampath JM, Leading HR Evangelist, Management Thinker, Leadership Coach and Angel Investor delivered the keynote address during the event that was presided over by Syed Mohamed Beary, Chairman, Bearys Academy of Learning.
Ar. Sandeep Jagadeesh, Founder Partner, Architecture Paradigm, Bangalore and Rizma Banu, Co-Founder Atom360, Bangalore aand FOSS Activist (BIT Alumni) were also present as the guests of honor during the event.
In his address, Dr. Jayaraj Amin extended congratulations to the graduating students, acknowledging their accomplishments. Emphasizing the importance of self-recognition, he urged the graduates to take credit for their success, recognizing the dedication, hard work, and perseverance that brought them to this momentous occasion.
Dr. Amin went on to highlight the pivotal role played by the educational institution and the unwavering support of parents in shaping the academic journey of the graduating class. He stressed that while individual effort and determination are fundamental to success, it is crucial not to overlook the invaluable contributions of the institution and the unwavering support of parents.
During his address, Prof. M Abdul Rahiman stressed on the role of empathy as a factor for success.

In his presidential address, Syed Mohamed Beary congratulated the graduating students and shared wisdom with them, emphasizing the virtues of truthfulness, trustworthiness, and compassion in all endeavors.
He urged the audience to move beyond job-seeking and embrace entrepreneurship as a vital element in the contemporary world, cautioning against a purely materialistic approach to work.
Beary shared valuable insights with aspiring entrepreneurs, advising them not to work solely for monetary gain and stating that whatever is meant for us will come to us as everything is god-ordained. He added that we should worry less about materialistic pleasures and work towards creating societal happiness.
He expressed optimism about India's role in the 21st century, and added that the 21st century belongs to India. He also encouraged the young graduates to choose fields like civil services, defence and other similar professions where one is able to selflessly contribute to the society and societal happiness. He also urged the students to refrain from activities that are anti-country in nature and bring bad name to the country stating that India has given us in abundance hence it is time that we as good Samaritans give it back to the country.
Speaking about the Artificial Intelligence taking over all the professions, Syed Beary highlighted limitations of artificial intelligence underscoring irreplaceable value of the human touch in various aspects of life.
Ar. Sandeep Jagadeesh and Rizma Banu also addressed the gathering during the event on “Threshold in Architecture” and “Life Beyond Job” topics respectively.
Mohammed Aashiq, who recently became the first chef from South India to win the MasterChef India competition was also felicitated during the event.
Graduating students were presented certificates and were later administered oath by Dr. Aziz Musthafa. As part of the event, a Memoir was unveiled by Syed Mohamed Beary and other distinguished guests.
Alumni and PhD awardees of BIT were also felicitated during the event while the best outgoing students and academic toppers of all the departments were handed mementos by guests.
Dr. S I Manjur Basha, Principal of BIT welcomed the guests while Ar Khaleel Sheikh, Principal of BEADS delivered vote of thanks.
Principal of BIT Dr. Manjur Basha, Principal of BEADS Ar. Khaleel Razak, Principal of Bearys Institute of Emerging Sciences (BIES) Dr. Aziz Mustafa, Director of BIT Polytechnic Dr. Prithviraj and HODs of all the departments including Dr. Abdullah Gubbi, Prof. Sinan, and others were present on the dias.
Setting up Bearys Global University our aim : Syed Beary
We are entering the fields of emerging sciences and also medical sciences. Eventually we will be setting up Bearys Global University for Societal Happiness. Thas is our aim, said Syed Mohamed Beary.

A recent study has uncovered a significant impact of human activity on the planet: Earth's axis has shifted by 31.5 inches (nearly 80 centimeters) due to extensive groundwater extraction. Published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, the research highlights how large-scale pumping of groundwater has changed the distribution of Earth's mass, affecting its rotation and contributing to sea-level rise. The shift in Earth's tilt is linked to a sea-level increase of 0.24 inches, according to Popular Mechanics.
Lead researcher Ki-Weon Seo, a geophysicist at Seoul National University, explained that among climate-related factors, the redistribution of groundwater has had the most significant effect on the movement of Earth's rotational pole. The planet's tilt, or axial precession, is influenced by changes in mass distribution. As glaciers and polar ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica melt, water migrates towards the equator, shifting the planet's balance—a phenomenon comparable to how a figure skater’s spin changes when they alter their body position.
The study examined data from 1993 to 2010, revealing that approximately 2,150 gigatons of groundwater were pumped out during this time, largely for agricultural and human consumption. This large-scale extraction has contributed to a shift in Earth's axis of about 31.5 inches.
Groundwater, which is water stored underground in soil and rock, plays a crucial role in the hydrological cycle. It originates from precipitation that seeps into the earth, replenishing natural aquifers. These aquifers are vital freshwater resources, supporting drinking water supplies, agriculture, and industry. The availability and quality of groundwater depend on natural factors like recharge rates and human activity.
While the 31.5-inch shift in Earth's axis might seem minor, the consequences could be far-reaching over geological timescales. Changes in water distribution can lead to varying sea-level changes across regions, affecting coastal areas differently. Additionally, shifts in Earth's tilt can influence its internal systems, such as the magnetic field, which acts as a shield against harmful solar radiation.
