Padmashree Hajabba’s dream PU college set to begin in Harekala
Mangaluru: Padmashree Harekala Hajabba, the illiterate legendary orange seller who used the earnings of his humble profession to establish a primary school at his remote village called Newpadpu in Harekala, is about to witness the beginning of a PU college which was his long time dream. After a high school in the village, the government has now granted permission for the Pre-University College here and the classes are set to begin this year.
Many students of the village who passed SSLC stayed out of PUC due to the far distance they had to go to reach a college. Hajabba had tried hard to get a college here to benefit these rural students. Finally, the government had ordered for the establishment of a college at Newpadpu, a year ago. 1.3 acre of land was reserved for the college in Daganepadpu which has been registered under the Department of Pre-University Education.
Arts and commerce classes are set to begin in the current academic year and Prof Abdul Razak, faculty of economics at Government PU College Nalyapadavu, has been appointed as the in-charge principal for the college. Department of PU Education Assistant Director Jayanna stated that required number of lecturers would be appointed once the admission processes were done with. Lecturers from Government PU colleges with lesser work load and guest lecturers would be appointed for the posts. Padmashree Harekala Hajabba expressed joy for the beginning of the college and said that the local students would be benefited by it.

Hope PM Modi mentions genocide in Gaza while addressing Knesset: Priyanka
New Delhi (PTI): Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday hoped Prime Minister Narendra Modi would mention the genocide in Gaza while addressing the Israeli Parliament and demand justice for them.
The Congress MP from Wayanad said India must continue to show the light of truth, peace and justice to the world.
Her remarks came ahead of Modi's departure for Israel on a two-day visit, during which he is set to hold talks with the top leadership there and address the Knesset (Israeli parliament).
In a post on X, Gandhi said, "I hope that the Hon Prime Minister @narendramodi ji mentions the genocide of thousands of innocent men, women and children in Gaza while addressing the Knesset on his upcoming trip to Israel and demands justice for them."
She asserted, "India has stood for what is right throughout our history as an independent nation, we must continue to show the light of truth, peace and justice to the world."
Modi's visit begins on Wednesday to shore up bilateral defence and trade cooperation between the two countries. It will be Modi's second visit to Israel in nine years.
The India-Israel relationship was elevated to the level of a strategic partnership during Modi's first visit to that country in July 2017.
The Congress on Tuesday alleged that the government has abandoned the Palestinians and said the prime minister was going to Israel despite that country's attacks on civilians in Gaza continue "mercilessly".
The party's general secretary in-charge communications, Jairam Ramesh, said the Modi government makes cynical and hypocritical statements on its commitment to the cause of the Palestinians, but, in reality, it has abandoned them.
