Inaugurating the programme, Dr. Y. Abdulla Kunhi, Chancellor of Yenepoya (Deemed to be University), congratulated MEIF for completing 25 years of dedicated service to the community and society at large.

He said endurance, steadfastness, perseverance, and fear of Allah are the true keys to success. “What matters is how you contribute to society after you achieve success,” he said. He urged youngsters to think beyond personal gains and take up social responsibilities. Expressing concern over the rise of drug abuse, he noted that the menace has now spread from colleges to schools and called upon MEIF-sponsored students to take the lead in fighting such issues. He also reminded them to always respect their parents and never hurt them.
Chief guest Dr. Ifthikar Ali Fareed, Chairman of the Allied and Healthcare Council of Karnataka, advised students to value the seats they receive through MEIF. He pointed out that the organisation works tirelessly behind the scenes with colleges to secure these opportunities. “Be role models for the colleges that supported you,” he said, urging students to stay away from drugs and to proudly speak about their institutions when they succeed in life.
