Muslims have understood importance of education, their progress is laudable: Dr. Abdulla Kunhi
Mangaluru: Yenepoya Deemed to be University Chancellor Dr. Y Abdulla Kunhi has said that, moving from having no inclination for education, the Muslim community has surpassed all expectation in its work to spread awareness on the importance of education.
Addressing the educational conference organized by the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Districts Muslim Educational Institutions Federation at the Town Hall in the city on Monday, Dr. Kunhi said, “It is obvious that times have changed. Muslims have understood the importance of education. As a result, we can find Muslims in every prominent field of society, as doctors, advocates and judges, among others.”
The chancellor added, “It is, nevertheless, necessary to identify children who are deprived of education since their families are either still uninformed about the educational facilities available or are facing financial problems. We need to work at ensuring that such children too get access to education.”

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
