Bearys Group of Institutions organises "Clean Beach Green Kodi" campaign
As a part of "World Green Building Week"
Kundapura, Sep 26: Celebrating the "World Green Building Week" Bearys Group of Institutions organized a drive-themed "Clean Beach - Green Kodi" here on Sunday morning.
Speaking at the event as Chief Guest, Deputy Conservator of Forest, Ashish Reddy lauded the efforts of the students during the drive adding that working to conserve and protect the environment is the “Work of God”.
He also stressed the importance of reducing plastic usage and littering toxic stuff in the surroundings.
President of Bearys Group, Syed Mohammed Beary, who inaugurated the event, hoped that the "Clean Beach - Green Kodi" will help in amplifying the popularity of Kodi across the world.
"We construct boundaries to protect our homes and to keep them clean and tidy. Similarly, our Kodi town has a boundary. On the West we have the Arabian Sea, on the North we have a harbor, the East has a river and the South has a road. This is our boundary, and whatever is between this, we should treat it like home. We should protect it and keep it clean" he said while speaking about Kodi town.
“On this day, we have all gathered here to celebrate the ‘World Green Building Week’ through this cleaning campaign. Cleaning is not just limited to picking up garbage. Real cleanliness stems from the purification of one’s heart. Our hearts, speech, and mannerism must be one’s that hold pure emotions,” he said.
“Picking up garbage for one day alone cannot be considered as a cleanliness campaign. Cleanliness is an attribute that must be a part of one’s daily life. On these grounds, with a mindset focused on cleaning, we must first strive to do away with prevalent vices in the town such as Alcoholism, Smoking, and drugs consumption. It is our wish to see our town free from all these vices”, he said.
“This cannot happen with the participation from only one set of schools. For this to happen, the people of this town must come together and work unitedly. If all of the people in the town were to join hands, this town can be transformed into a clean and vice-free place”, he said.
“Our Kodi Town is not merely a town but is also a tourist destination. Thousands of people from India and abroad come here to see the ocean. As visitors, they are unaware of the reality of this place. If anybody were to go for a dip in the ocean without knowing and get pulled under by the strong tide, disastrous situations can enfold. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, the youth from our town must create teams to work as lifeguards. Apart from this, to create awareness among the tourists, signboards must be displayed in suitable places. This is also among our objectives”, he further added.
Chairman of Bearys Group of Institutions, KM Abdul Rahman, Medical Officer of Kodi Primary Health Center, Dr. Umesh Nayak, Municipality members Kamala, Lakshmi, Nominated member of Municipality Nagaraj Kanchan, Principals of Bearys group of educational Institutions Siddappa KS, Dr. Shameer, Dr. Firdous, Ashwini Shetty, Jayanti, Durgi Pategar, Sumitra, School development committee vice president, Prabhakar K, Treasurer, Abdul K, Members, Shankar Poojary, Sanjeeva Poojary, Bhaskar Putran, Rafeeq, Timmappa Karvi, Ramakrishna Poojary, Gopala Poojary, Parent-teacher association chief advisor, Abushek, Vice-president Mustarin, Prakash, Treasurer, Rafiq, were present during the event.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
