Madikeri, Oct. 26: Chikkaluwara, Kodagu University Vice Chancellor Ashok Sangappa Alur has called for everyone to be educated so that the thoughts of Buddha, Basava and Dr. Ambedkar can be realized and their ideals can be fulfilled.
He was speaking while inaugurating the felicitation ceremony for the students who scored the highest marks in the year 2024-25 and the teaching staff who have been promoted to professors, held by the Kodagu district unit of the Karnataka Dalit Sangharsh Samiti at the city's Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa College auditorium.
The teaching profession is very venerable in society, and if a strong and prosperous nation is to be built, it is possible only with the quality education provided by teachers to students. He said that the teaching done by teachers in the work of nation building is very great.
The felicitation increases responsibility, and it is commendable that the Dalit Sangharsh Samiti is recognizing and encouraging the achievements of lecturers and students.
On the topic of ‘Job opportunities after graduation and the change in society if you pursue higher education’, child expert Dr. Naveen B.C. said that education is very important for the development of the country, and in Indian society, a person’s personality can be identified through education. India is ranked 3rd in the world in terms of educational system. The largest number of people in the country are studying in private schools, and the education sector is in the hands of private institutions. In the future, higher education is necessary to create an equal society, he said.
Kodagu District Kannada Sahitya Parishad President M.P. Keshav Kamath said that in today’s technological era, you can know the happenings in the world at your fingertips. Technology should be used in the best way. Reading habits should be continuous and libraries should be used. Along with reading, you should prepare for competitive exams. Through this, you should contribute to the society. Prasanna Edikeri, Director, Leading Edge Advertising, India Private Limited, said that in today’s competitive era, there are obstacles at every stage. Therefore, students who work hard get good results. He called for getting job opportunities using new technology.

Dalit Sangharsh Samiti District Coordinator H.L. Diwakar said that it is ironic that government schools are in the process of closing down in the district.
