February 19, 2011

Mangalore, February 19: Teachers should be ready to face any challenges boldly as they play a crucial role in the society said Saleem Basha, senior lecturer, DIET, Hassan.

He was speaking at the Muslim teachers' district convention organised under the auspices of All India Ideal Teachers Association on Saturday at Badriya College here. The central theme of the convention was “the aptitude and challenges of modern education.”

Mr Basha said challenges are also a part of the field of education, which bears the responsibility of enlightening a generation.

He said teachers possess the ability of constructing or destructing a society. However, he lamented that lack of commitment to the profession among teachers is a major hindrance to the goal of education.

He also said education should be based on modern information technology along with moral and human values.

Prof B M Beeran Moideen of PA College of Engineering stated that the main objective of the education is to reach out the students.

He said teachers should implement modern technology in learning as education and modern technology go hand in hand.

Dr N Ismaeel, Principal, Badriya Pre University College presided over the programme.

Mangaluru Tees Off Big: Golf Excellence Academy to Open at Pilikula

February 1,2026

The coastal city of Mangaluru is gearing up for a major sporting milestone with the launch of a Golf Excellence Academy at the Pilikula Golf Club (PGC), scheduled to open on May 31. The initiative aims to position Mangaluru firmly on India’s national golfing map.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday during PGC’s first-ever floodlit Pro-Am tournament, club captain Manoj Kumar Shetty said the project is being funded by UAE-based philanthropist Michael D’Souza and is currently in the design phase. Experts from leading golf academies across the country are expected to visit Mangaluru to help shape the training programme and infrastructure.

The academy will train 20 young golfers at a time, with a long-term vision of producing national-level players from the region. Until now, PGC relied on an in-house coach, but the recent renovation of the course and the introduction of floodlights have opened new possibilities for expanding the sport.

Shetty said discussions are underway with two reputed coaching academies, whose heads are expected to visit PGC shortly. “A dormitory for trainers is already under construction. We are inviting academies to assess the facilities and suggest changes so we can build a truly world-class Golf Excellence Academy,” he said.

Professional golfer Aryan Roopa Anand noted that the floodlit course would be a game-changer for young players. “Students can now practise after school hours, even up to 8 or 9 pm, without compromising on academics,” he said.
