Mangalore, Aug 2: SEWA-South Kanara Muslim Welfare Association, Muscat, Oman, distributed scholarships to economically weak students in an effort to support education on Sunday August 2.
K S M Masood, former chairman, State Minority Commission, presiding over the function said, “The students of the Muslim community should do well in education and must go for administrative service exams like IAS. This will ensure that the community will be supported in every field”.
B M Ichlangod, retired professor, said, “When compared with the Muslim scholar’s place in history, in recent years the number of excellent scholars has gone down. So, our leaders in society, parents and the students should think about it.”
Mohammad Beary, president, Ideal Education Trust said, “We have neglected the boys of the Muslim community in education. So the boys should also go on to higher studies.”
Masood and other chief guests distributed the scholarship cheques to the students. Twelve students received scholarships of Rs 12,000 each.
Rafiyuddin Kudroli, president of New Age India Forum, Zameer Amber from Jamiyathul Falah, and advocate Basheer Ahmed were the guests at the programme.
A K Muhiyuddin, convener of the Association, said that the students recognized through this association will be encouraged with the scholarship for three years.
Akbar Ali, president of association, welcomed all. Muhiyuddin proposed the vote of thanks.
