Kundapura(Kodi): Karnataka’s Minister of Law, Parliamentary affairs and Legislation, and Tourism, H.K Patil, graced the founders day and anniversary celebrations at Bearys Group of Institutions and inaugurated the newly constructed 'Kodi Bearys Knowledge Campus.'
During his address as the Chief Guest, Patil stressed on the importance of education and how it can shape the students as the assets for the nation. The Minister also unveiled the new logo of the organization.
“Students should become real assets to the country through education, and parents should nurture their children to become assets. The future of students is in their hands. The more they read, the brighter their future will be. Study habits make them smart. Students should not seek a shortcut in studies, which will break their success,” he said.
Patil further emphasizing on sowing brotherhood in the society, said, “Instead of spreading hate, love should be fostered in the minds of children. Through this approach, the task of nation-building should be done. Patriotism should be strengthened in the minds of children. This is the real task of nation building. It is commendable to see that this organization is working in that direction.”
Meanwhile, speaking after inaugurating the new grand entrance of the ‘Bearys Knowledge Campus’ here at Kodi, Karnataka Assembly Speaker U.T Khader asserted that, “True patriotism involves imparting good education to the children and making them the wealth of the country. This country cannot become strong if MLAs, MPs and officers become powerful. This country can be strong only when students and the youth community is powerful, and this institution is providing holistic education.”
He further highlighted Bearys Institution instilling good values among students by stating that, “Our nation requires educational institutions that impart secular values such as brotherhood, equality, love, and trust in society. In the present scenario, educated individuals are becoming increasingly contentious. Hence, educational institutions should not only offer secular education but also instill good cultural values. It is heartening to see that Bearys organization is actively engaged in this important work.”
Syed Mohammed Beary, Managing trustee of the institution initially speaking at the event revealed, “We have plans to develop this institution into an University, which will create peace in the society. Under the leadership of our institutions, cleaning work was initiated at Kodi Beach for the last 28 months. Resulting in the number of turtles coming to the beach and laying eggs is increasing.”
“Kodi should be established as Mahatma Gandhi’s Ram Rajya, by making the town a cigarette, ganja and alcohol free region. This Ram Rajya should have love, trust, perseverance and giving. Everyone should revolutionize this in unity with truth, justice and equality. Live with togetherness and show it to the whole world."
Kundapura MLA Kiran Kumar Kodgi who graced the event as the guest of honour performed the flag hoisting ceremony. Environmentalist Padma Shri Tulsi Gowda and Karnataka Rajyotsava awardee MEIF (Muslim Educational Institutions Federation) President Moosabba P Beary were honored on this occasion. Haji K.M. Abdul Rehman, Chairman of Bearys Group of Educational Institutions, presided over the event. Prizes were distributed to the winners of various competitions on the occasion.
Trustees of the institution Siddique Beary, Dr. Asif Beary, Siddappa (Principal of B.Ed Department at Bearys College), Dr. Suresh Shetty (Principal of Bearys PU College), Jaysheel Shetty (Principal of AHM Beary Memorial High School), and Jattappa (Principal of Urdu Senior Primary School) were present on the stage during the event.
Bearys English Medium School Principal Ashwini Shetty welcomed the guests and the attendees. Bearys DEd College Principal Dr. Firdos read the annual report. PU College Lecturer Ziyana read out the list of awardees. Beary's First Grade College Principal Dr. Shameer read the vote of thanks. College professors Hayavadana Upadhyaya and Sandeep Shetty narrated the program.
In the meantime, Managing trustee of the institutions Syed Mohammed Beary suggested that the government should develop the Kodi beach, and stated, “ Kodi is one among the five blue beaches. The government should develop the beach, seawalk and mangrove forest here. Also a master plan should be formulated to develop the coastal belt stretching from Kasaragod to Karwar. He said that clusters should be made including education, commerce, housing, entertainment and health.”
Responding to Syed Mohammed Beary’s suggestion, Tourism Minister HK Patil, said, “A meeting of experts will be called soon to discuss this matter.”
Commending the institution, H.K. Patil stated, “This educational institution, started in 1906, was in a state of closure due to lack of admissions. In such a scenario, the Beary brothers prioritized the school over their business, and with their skillful efforts, not only managed to survive, but also nurtured the institution.”
He further wished that this institution would grow further and rise to the level of a university. He further added, “I was surprised to learn about the 118-year history and mission of this institution. It is truly a rare establishment, and its remarkable growth is attributed to their strong faith in God. The organization's commendable effort to identify underprivileged children in poor and rural areas, providing them with quality education to nurture their talents, is truly admirable."

Mumbai (PTI): The Bombay High Court on Monday refused to release Mihir Shah, the main accused in a BMW hit-and-run case, on the ground of "illegal" arrest.
Shah, the 24-year-old son of a former Shiv Sena leader, and his driver Rajrishi Bidawat had filed petitions in the HC claiming they have been illegally detained and sought immediate release.
Shah was arrested on July 9, two days after he allegedly rammed his BMW car into a two-wheeler in Mumbai's Worli area, killing 45-year-old woman Kaveri Nakhwa and leaving her husband Pradeep injured.
His driver Bidawat, who was also present in the car at the time of the accident, was arrested on the day of the incident.
As per their pleas, the police had not informed them the grounds of their arrest at the time, which they claimed was in violation of the law.
A division bench of Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande on Monday dismissed the petitions.
"Both the petitions are dismissed," the court said.
The duo sought their release, claiming any further detention would be in utter violation of the constitutional mandate and a failure to comply with Section 50 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
Under this section, the police, while arresting a person, have to communicate to him/her full particulars of the offence for which he/she is being arrested or other grounds for such arrest.
Both Shah and Bidawat are presently in judicial custody.
In their habeas corpus (produce the person) petitions filed in the HC in August, Shah and Bidawat claimed their detention was illegal and sought that they be released immediately.
Shah, in the plea, sought quashing of the orders passed by a local court remanding him first in police custody and then judicial custody.
He also sought for his arrest to be declared as illegal.
Shah is accused of speeding off towards the Bandra Worli Sea Link after the accident, even as the woman remained on the bonnet of the car and then got entangled in its wheels, for a distance of more than 1.5 kilometres.
As per police, Shah, who fled from the scene, was under the influence of alcohol at the time.
Mihir Shah's father and former Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah had also been arrested in the case, but was later granted bail.
