Bearys institutions giving priority to cocurricular activities is commendable:Commissioner TR Suresh
Bearys Public School annual day
Mangaluru, Dec 20: Annual Day of Bearys Public School and His Grace Montessori situated at Hathill was held at the Town Hall here on Thursday.
Speaking at the programme, Mangaluru City Police Commissioner T R Suresh said that the Dakshina Kannada district has been growing as educational hub. It is commendable that the Bearys Educational institutions have been giving priority to cocurricular activities along with the academics. School is the second house for children. During learning process, the role of teachers and parents in identifying the talent and leadership qualities in children is very important, he opined.
ADC Kumar said that annual days of schools and colleges would remain in the memory of every student. The annual day would give a platform to the students to exhibit their talents. Students should have clear goal about their life, he added.
Presiding over the programme, Bearys Academy of Learning President and Managing Trustee Syed Muhammad Beary said that the education has become a business nowadays. Education institutions were being established keeping in mind the children of rich families. But Bearys Education was totally different from this. The group has not considered the education as a business. Without getting any donation, Bearys has been imparting education to the students of rural areas and economically backward families. Unfortunately, nowadays, education is being looked in the eyes of religion. It is not a good practice to bifurcate education like this. The education should include all. The Bearys Educational institutions have a clear goal of ensuring education to every individual based on truth, trust and happiness, he said stressing the role of parents along with the teachers in the development of children.

Power tariffs under BESCOM to rise from May 1
Bengaluru (PTI): Power bills for consumers under the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) will go up from May 1, following an order issued by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) on Friday.
The hike comes after KERC allowed the BESCOM to recover a revenue deficit of Rs 2,068 crore incurred in 2024-25, from the consumers.
As a result, for every unit of electricity consumed in 2024-25, the customers will be charged an additional 56 paise, it said.
"BESCOM shall calculate, for each of the active consumers of FY2024-25 the amount to be recovered based on their actual energy consumption during FY2024-25. Such amount shall be recovered during FY 2026-27 in equal monthly instalments, to be called as 'FY25 True up Charges', commencing from the first meter reading date falling on or after 1 May 2026 and concluding with the reading date ending on 30 April 2027," the order said.
"It is further ordered that BESCOM shall maintain a separate head of account, allocated for the purpose, to record the adjustment of the said amount to ensure full recovery of the deficit," it added.
Similarly Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (CESC) has also recorded a revenue deficit of Rs 121.71 crore and can collect an additional 15 paisa per unit for consumption in 2024-25, official sources said.
