The 3rd edition of the G C Surana Conclave: “Officials should mingle with people to solve problems”- Kiran Bedi

Bengaluru, May 1, 2022: Not only politicians, but also officials must mingle and engage themselves with people and this would solve many of the problems faced by the people, Dr Kiran Bedi, former IPS officer and former Lieutenant Governor of Pondicherry said here on Sunday.

Delivering the keynote address at the 3rd edition of the G C Surana Conclave, organized by Surana College Dr Bedi said, “It is essential that officials in key positions in government make good use of their leadership. When I started working as an IPS officer, there was no communication between the officers. The same thing prevailed in Pondicherry. In order to rectify this, programs were held to encourage people to trust our administration. In addition, the practice of mingling with the people and the heads of each department and examining the development work itself was developed. This made development work much faster. We should not do things with the impression that someone is recognizing them, we should recognize our own work.”
Dr Bedi wanted students to achieve prosperity by having purpose and perseverance while putting people in the front. She commended the work of Dr. Archana Surana, Managing Trustee of Surana College for achieving the 25 year milestone.

Earlier inaugurating the conclave Minister for Higher Education Dr. C N Ashwathnarayana said, “Today’s academic scores are not the criteria for getting a job. It is important to embrace sports, personality development and leadership qualities. Our educational standards have been changed by the new nation’s education policy.”
The Minister said Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India is a land of opportunities and the reason for India’s brain gain. He highlighted the state’s role in implementing the National Education Policy, the minister also mentioned that Karnataka is a model state when it comes to introducing transformational projects in the IT, BT & education sector.

The minister said all co-operation would be provided to Surana educational institutions which have contributed immensely to the education sector of the city and has gained autonomous status and will start university soon.

On this occasion Dr. Kiran Bedi, Dr. Ramana Rao, renowned cardiologist from the city, Dr. H R Appannaiah, scholar and writer and Dr. Mahantesh, Founder of Samarthanam Trust were felicitated with the GC Surana Leadership Awards. The conclave which marks the silver jubilee celebrations of Surana Educational Institutions

The alumni who have made the college proud in various fields including celebrities like Pannaga Bharana, Film Director, Karunya Ram, Actress, Manjunath NS, International Percussionist and Sujay Shaunbag, Classical Dancer participated in the event.

ಗೌರವಾನ್ವಿತ ಸಚಿವ ಬಿ ಸಿ ನಾಗೇಶ್ ಸರ್, ನೀವು ವಿವಿಧತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಏಕತೆಯನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಾವು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ.

ಗೌರವಾನ್ವಿತ ಸಚಿವ ಬಿ ಸಿ ನಾಗೇಶ್ ಸರ್, ನೀವು ವಿವಿಧತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಏಕತೆಯನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಾವು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ.
ಕುರಾನ್ ಮತ್ತು ಬೈಬಲ್ ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಮತ್ತು ಗೀತಾ ನೈತಿಕ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುವ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ಆಧಾರರಹಿತವಾಗಿದೆ.  ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಧರ್ಮವು ತಮ್ಮ ಪವಿತ್ರ ಗ್ರಂಥಗಳಂತೆ ಉತ್ತಮ ನೈತಿಕ ಮೌಲ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಕಲಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

ಕೋರ್ಟ್ ಹಾಲ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ, ಸಾಕ್ಷಿಗಳನ್ನು ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸುವ ಮೊದಲು, ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧೀಶರು ಸಾಕ್ಷಿಯನ್ನು ಕೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಧರ್ಮದ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಪವಿತ್ರ ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ಮೇಲೆ ಕೈಯಿಟ್ಟು ಸತ್ತ್ಯವನ್ನೇ ನುಡಿಯುವೆ ಅನ್ನುವ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ಪಡೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ.  ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಮುಸ್ಲಿಂ ಆಗಿದ್ದರೆ ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಕುರಾನ್, ಅವನು ಕ್ರಿಶ್ಚಿಯನ್ ಆಗಿದ್ದರೆ ಪವಿತ್ರ ಗ್ರಂಥ ಪವಿತ್ರ ಬೈಬಲ್, ಅದೇ ರೀತಿ ಹಿಂದೂಗಳಿಗೆ ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಗೀತೆ.

ನಮ್ಮ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕಡೆಯಿಂದ ಬರುವ ಸುಂದರವಾದ ನೀತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕಲಿಯಲಿ.  ಕೋಮಲ ಹೃದಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂದಿಗೂ ದ್ವೇಷದ ಬೀಜಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿತ್ತಬೇಡಿ….

Respected minister B C Nagesh sir,We expect you to maintain unity in diversity

Respected minister B C Nagesh sir, We expect you to maintain unity in diversity.Your statement saying Quran and Bible are religious and Gita as moral, is baseless. Just as how every religion teaches good moral values, so does their holy books too.

Do you know that in the court hall, before examining the evidences, the judge would ask the witness to give word that he would speak only the truth by placing his hand on the holy book of his religion. If the witness were to be Muslim the religious book will be the Quran, if he were to be a Christian, the holy book would be Holy Bible, similarly the religious book for a Hindu is Gita.

Let our children learn beautiful morals coming from all the sides. Don’t ever sow the seeds of hatred in the tender hearts….

– A.Anil Antony and C. Maria Joseph….
