Hard work pays off for Rahman Salman Ullal
UT Khader , Shaheen College help rural lad to get MBBS seat
Ullal, June 12: A hardworking boy from rural background completed his PUC with a good percentage from prestigious PU college of Mangalore. However, his dream of becoming Doctor shattered after realizing that his PU board marks are not the criteria for getting an MBBS seat.
Rahman Salman from Ullal had good CET ranking for Engineering, through which he can get an engineering seat of his choice in the best college of Karnataka. But the young boy avoided all the temptations and held to his dream of becoming a doctor.
Salman's father, who runs a petty shop with meager income and responsibility of upbringing five children, did not stop his son to pursue his dream. He took his son to Minister UT Khader, for the right guidance and support. From there the journey of this boy to realize his dream started. Mr. Khader personally called MD of Shaheen Bangalore and gave the background of this boy to secure a seat for one year Long Term Batch. This year NEET-2018, Rahman Salman achieved 546 marks with 99.334 percentile.
"The Ideal Learning Competitive atmosphere and the faculty at Shaheen Bangalore made it possible to realize my dream of pursuing MBBS course," Rahman Salman said.
He took rigorous one year NEET Long Term coaching at SHAHEEN Bangalore and is poised to get an MBBS seat in Bangalore Medical College in government quota.
"The expert faculty and systematic academics here gives the right platform for students to excel with their hard work," says Mr. Abdul Subhan, Managing director of SHAHEEN GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS.
He also adds "financial status in no away can become a hindrance to realizing dreams" acknowledging Rahman Salman referred by Mr. UT Khader was given the free seat for NEET coaching at Shaheen PU College, which is located on Queens Road in Bengaluru.
To promote many such students, Shaheen PU College, Bengaluru is giving free coaching to financially backward meritorious students who got more than 350 marks in NEET-2018.

Dhyan Chand lifetime award to be replaced by Arjuna lifetime
New Delhi, Oct 24: The sports ministry on Thursday announced the discontinuation of the Dhyan Chand Award for lifetime achievement from this year onwards and the introduction of the Arjuna Award Lifetime in its place in a bid to "rationalise" the various sporting honours of the country.
Instituted in 2002, the Dhyan Chand Lifetime Award, named after hockey wizard Major Dhyan Chand, is given to individuals in disciplines that are part of the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games, among others.
In 2023, the award was given to former shuttler Manjusha Kanwar, ex-hockey exponent Vineet Kumar and kabaddi player Kavitha Selvaraj.
"The various schemes for sports awards have been rationalised wherein Arjuna Award (Lifetime) has been introduced in place of Dhyan Chand Award. To recognise the efforts of coaches at grassroots/development level, they are now eligible for the Dronacharya Award," said a ministry statement.
"The Arjuna Award (Lifetime) has been introduced and will be given for life time contribution to sports development.
"Further, to recognize the Khelo India scheme, the Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad (MAKA) Trophy will be given to the University for Overall Top Performance in Khelo India University Games," it added.
The last date for applying for the national sports awards for 2024 is November 14.
