Saripilla Village (Mangaluru), KARNATAKA :

Masood Group of Institutions inaugurated its new campus building on Sunday at Saripalla village, located on the outskirts of Mangaluru city. The event was marked by the presence of several eminent dignitaries, with the Hon’ble Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, UT Khader Fareed, formally inaugurating the facility.

Joining the occasion was Dr. Riyaz Basha, Registrar Evaluation, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) along with other distinguished guests.ix

Al Haj KS Mohammed Masood, former MLC, ex-chairman of the Karnataka State Minorities Commission, and the President of Masood Educational and Charitable Trust, presided over the event.

During his address, UT Khader Fareed congratulated Al Haj KS Mohammed Masood and his family for their visionary efforts in prioritizing education at a time when it is crucial for the progress of society. He lauded their commitment to creating opportunities for learning and empowering the younger generation.

Khader expressed his confidence that the Masood Group of Institutions would emerge as one of the premier educational establishments in the country, setting benchmarks for excellence in academics and overall development. He urged the students to take their studies seriously, emphasizing that education is the foundation for personal growth and societal advancement.

Highlighting the significance of such initiatives, Khader remarked that starting educational institutions is a form of true patriotism. He stated that by investing in education, the trust is not only nurturing young minds but also contributing to the upliftment and progress of the nation as a whole.

He emphasized the importance of humility, stating that true education goes beyond academic achievements and is reflected in one’s behavior and attitude. He encouraged students to remain grounded, focus on continuous learning, and contribute positively to society, embodying the essence of education through their actions and interactions.

In addition, Ali took the opportunity to invite everyone present to participate in the inauguration of the Regional Centre of RGUHS in Mangalore, scheduled for January 17.
