Dinesh Gundu Rao, addressed the gathering and appreciated the growth and contributions of Bearys Academy of Learning in the field of education.

Syed Mohammed Beary, Founder and Chairman of Bearys Academy of Learning, chaired the event and addressed the gathering.
Speaking on the occasion, he said he considered himself blessed in many ways, but if he had to highlight one aspect he was most grateful for, it would be the opportunity to impart education and knowledge.
He emphasized that education goes beyond acquiring degrees and that everyone has a role to play in contributing to the progress of society and the nation through education.
Highlighting the role of technology in academics, he noted that passing examinations has become easier, but what truly matters is passing the examination of life, which requires resilience and values.
Expressing concern over the mindset of the younger generation, he pointed out that endurance and patience seem to be lacking. He added that many young people expect things to happen as per their wishes, and when they face challenges, they struggle to cope, leading to a rise in suicides.
He stressed the importance of teachers showing empathy and understanding towards students. He also urged both parents and teachers to respect children, stating that this approach would help build confidence in them.
Dr. Meena Monteiro, Dean of the School of Social Work at Roshni Nilaya, Mangalore, addressed the gathering and spoke about the importance of positive parenting in the present times.
She emphasized that parents should create a nurturing environment for children by keeping violence and anger away from their sight, as constant exposure to negativity can impact their emotional well-being.
Highlighting the importance of encouragement, she urged parents to appreciate even the smallest achievements of their children. She said that recognizing their efforts, no matter how minor, helps boost their confidence and self-worth.
She also stressed the need to prepare children to face failures, stating that setbacks are a natural part of life. She encouraged parents to guide children in handling disappointments constructively rather than shielding them from difficulties.
Dr. Monteiro further advised against fear-based parenting methods, stating that using threats or intimidation to discipline children can have long-term negative effects. Instead, she advocated for a supportive approach that fosters open communication and trust between parents and children.
Shayaan of class X proposed the vote of thanks, while KM Gulfam and Abbu Aniq Ali compered the event.

Notices issued against 24 people for protesting against Waqf Bill by wearing black badges in UP
Muzaffarnagar (UP) (PTI): Authorities in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district have issued notices against 24 people for protesting against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025 by wearing black badges and asked them to furnish bonds of Rs 2 lakh each.
Superintendent of Police (City) Satyanarayan Prajapat on Saturday told reporters that notices were served to 24 persons in this connection, and added that police have identified more people on the basis of CCTV footage.
The notices were issued by City Magistrate Vikas Kashyap on the police report, asking them to furnish bonds of Rs two lakh each after appearing before the court on April 16. These people were found protesting against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and wearing black badges on their arms during last Friday prayers of Ramzan in different mosques here on March 28.
The people who got notices issued against them said they wore black badges only to show protest in a democratic way.
Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju tabled the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025 in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, asserting that the legislation is not against Muslims or intended to hurt their religious feelings, but seeks to improve the functioning of Waqf properties, address complexities, ensure transparency and introduce technology-driven management.
The Lok Sabha passed the Bill by a 288-232 vote in the early hours of Thursday, after nearly 12 hours of debate, and the Rajya Sabha gave its nod to the legislation following an over 13-hour debate.
The Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha with 128 members voting in favour and 95 opposing it.
