Mangalore, September 19: Talents Research Foundation, Mangalore, and Samanwaya-Muslim Shikshakara Sangha (SMSS) on Wednesday jointly organised a Teachers' Day celebration at Talent Conference Hall in the city.
Inaugurating the programme, U T Khader, Mangalore MLA, said that teachers had the opportunity to bring a change and influence families by educating the young minds in the society. Teachers do have certain responsibilities; therefore they must always keep the thought of progress in mind. The Muslim community can also earn a good name if the teachers of the community could bring a positive change in the society, he said.
According to him, the reason the Muslim community lagged behind was the petty complications that brought it a bad name in the society. 50 per cent of the problems that arise are created by Muslims themselves. Those problems should be resolved with tolerance and dialogues, he said.
He said that it was the duty of those who taught in classrooms to imbibe tolerance among students, so that they could grow up to become tolerant. “Only then can our community prosper,” said Mr Khader.
On the occasion, Shaul Hameed, Akbar Badshah Indi, Shahida Khan, retired teachers as well as Abdul Samad Katipalla were felicitated.
Later, a reflection on the problems of teachers was conducted by Rafiq Master, advisor of Talents Research Foundation, Mangalore.
M H Malar, Secretary of SMSS, welcomed the gathering. K M K Manjanady, Chairman of SMSS, SulaimanSheikh Belvai, industrialist, Basheer, Zaheeda Jaleel, and principals of various educational colleges, were present on the occasion.
