BIT launches diploma courses in civil and mechanical engineering

June 14, 2014

Mangalore, Jun 14: “Imparting technical education at rural areas is essential. It is very heartening to see that Bearys Group has taken up the initiative in this regard. Students should be focused and support the development of the nation” said Prof. Karunakar Rai, Principal, Karnataka Polytechnic, Mangalore.

He was addressing the students after inaugurating the BIT - Diploma courses in Civil and Mechanical engineering departments at Bearys Institute of Technology (BIT), Mangalore.

Prof. Sheikh Moidin, Head of Information Science Department, welcomed the gathering and briefed about the motivation behind starting BIT-Diploma.

The Chairman of Bearys Group, Syed Mohamed Beary, had a dream of gifting the knowledge of technical skills to the rural students who do not have adequate opportunities to go for higher education. As a result of this dream BIT Diploma has commenced at BIT. He also added that society needs to create opportunities to educate its youth to bear the mantle of science and technological needs of the country.

Principal of BIT Dr. S.A.Khan stated that BIT is different from other technical Institutes. He said “We demonstrate more than just mere teaching at BIT. We have well established laboratories and committed Faculty members who will train the students in the best possible way.”

Dr. S.K. Raikar, Sr. Advisor BIT, said students will get more practical knowledge through polytechnic courses and that they have the option to join the Engineering courses after the completion of their diploma. He pointed out that since BIT already possessed excellent facilities for engineering courses, the same benefit could be utilized for teaching polytechnic courses as well. This, he said, would give a huge advantage to BIT Diploma students when compared to stand-alone diploma colleges.

Prof S. Abdul Rahiman, Dean of BIT-Diploma, said that hard work, honesty and attitude determine a person 's success. He advised the students that after SSLC, it would be more advantageous to join the diploma program for an aspiring engineer.

Siddique Beary, trustee of Bearys Academy of Learning, said that there was a notable shortage of skilled technical manpower in all areas of the industry. He opined that we should fill that gap and contribute to a growing nation in a significant way.

Prof Avinash Hegde delivered the vote of thanks while Dr. Shiva Prakash compered the programme.

Nati koli saaru, fry, idli, vada and pongal on Siddaramaiah’s breakfast menu at DKS’ residence

Bengaluru: 'Nati koli saaru' (country chicken curry) considered one of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s favourites along with steaming hot idlis was on the breakfast menu at Deputy CM D K Shivakumar’s residence on Tuesday, according to official sources.

The spread also included 'nati koli' fry, vada and pongal, among other items, they said.

In an apparent show of unity, Siddaramaiah visited Shivakumar’s residence for breakfast, just days after the two leaders shared a meal amid a simmering power tussle in the state Congress.

Siddaramaiah drove to the Deputy CM’s residence in Sadashivanagar, where he was received by Shivakumar and his brother D K Suresh, who is a former Congress MP.

Suresh and Kunigal MLA H D Ranganath, a relative of Shivakumar, joined them for breakfast, which featured a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Speaking to reporters later, Siddaramaiah said Shivakumar had invited him during his visit to the CM’s residence for breakfast on Saturday.

Asked about the difference between the two meals, the chief minister said, "At his (Shivakumar’s) house it was non-veg, while at my house it was veg. He is a vegetarian, I am a non-vegetarian. I had not prepared non-veg. I told DK to get chicken from the village as you won’t get the original in Bengaluru."

Shivakumar said he had initially invited Siddaramaiah to his residence, but the CM had suggested visiting his place first and reciprocating later. "It was a vegetarian breakfast at the CM’s house on Saturday," he noted.

"Today, I invited him (the CM) to my house. He enjoyed the breakfast, which had his Mysuru taste," Shivakumar added. At this point, Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar’s wife is also from Mysuru.

Saturday’s breakfast at Siddaramaiah’s official residence, held as part of efforts by the Congress high command to ease tensions in the leadership dispute between the two, reportedly included idlis and sambar, according to official sources.
