Mangaluru: Yenepoya Deemed to be University Chancellor Dr. Y Abdulla Kunhi has said that, moving from having no inclination for education, the Muslim community has surpassed all expectation in its work to spread awareness on the importance of education.
Addressing the educational conference organized by the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Districts Muslim Educational Institutions Federation at the Town Hall in the city on Monday, Dr. Kunhi said, “It is obvious that times have changed. Muslims have understood the importance of education. As a result, we can find Muslims in every prominent field of society, as doctors, advocates and judges, among others.”
The chancellor added, “It is, nevertheless, necessary to identify children who are deprived of education since their families are either still uninformed about the educational facilities available or are facing financial problems. We need to work at ensuring that such children too get access to education.”
