Unity Alumni Association hosts inspiring second meet in Mangaluru
Mangaluru, Jan 15: The second Unity Alumni Meet took place on Wednesday, January 15, at the IMA Hall, organized by the Unity Alumni Association.
Dr Mohammed Ismail, a senior consultant physician from Mangaluru, delivered an inspiring speech during the event. He stated, “An alumni meet is a wonderful opportunity for nostalgia, where we reunite, reignite connections, rediscover memories, and recharge ourselves. I was not proficient in any language until I began my MBBS. Back then, I was often ridiculed. I took this as a challenge and worked hard, eventually becoming fluent in English by the time I completed my MBBS. Remember, nothing is impossible. If someone puts you down or insults you, take it as a challenge to prove them wrong.”
Dr B Vasanthi S Shetty, a senior consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist from Mangaluru, highlighted the importance of lifelong learning: “Studying never stops until you die. I advise all alumni to work hard, be sincere, and you will reach wherever you wish to be.”
Devraj, general manager of operations, spoke about the progress and growth of Unity Hospital since its establishment.

Assam to lift all cases against Koch Rajbongshis in Foreigners' Tribunals: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma
Guwahati, Apr 4 (PTI): The Assam cabinet has decided to lift all cases pending against people from the Koch Rajbongshi community in the Foreigners' Tribunals, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday.
They will also no longer carry the tag of 'D' or doubtful voters, he said.
''There are 28,000 cases pending in different Foreigners' Tribunals in the state against people of the community. The cabinet has taken a historic decision of lifting the cases with immediate effect,'' Sarma said at a press conference here after the cabinet meeting.
The government believes that the Koch Rajbongshis are an indigenous community of the state and they are an inextricable part of ''our social and cultural fabric'', he asserted.
The people of this community are poor and have suffered a lot over the years, he said.
''They will no longer carry the tag of foreigners or ‘D’ voters,'' the CM said.
Foreigners Tribunals are quasi-judicial bodies, particularly in Assam, established to determine if a person residing in India is a "foreigner" as defined by the Foreigners Act of 1946, based on the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order of 1964.
These tribunals are designed to address matters related to citizenship and the presence of “foreigners” in India, specifically focusing on cases where someone is suspected of being an illegal immigrant.
There are 100 Foreigners’ Tribunals across Assam.
The Koch Rajbongshis have a sizeable presence in Assam, West Bengal, Meghalaya, and parts of Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan, and they demand Scheduled Tribe status.
