Bhatkal: The Anjuman Institute of Technology and Management (AITM), a unit of Anjuman Hami-e-Muslimeen, Bhatkal, hosted its 42nd Annual Graduation Ceremony on Sunday with grandeur and academic spirit.

The event was presided over by Janab Muhammad Sadiq Pillur, Vice President of Anjuman Hami-e-Muslimeen. Dr. C. Gopalakrishnan, General Manager at IIT Madras Incubation Cell, attended as the chief guest. In his keynote address, he emphasized the abundant opportunities awaiting students over the next decade, while also underlining the growing challenges in areas such as data privacy, personal security, and cybersecurity. “Managing these challenges will depend on your judgment and awareness,” he told the graduates.

Addressing the gathering, AITM Board Secretary Mohiddin Ruknuddin encouraged students not to assess their worth solely through academic grades. “Each of you is unique and possesses distinct capabilities. Marks are only indicative. Let the world see your skills and achievements,” he said. He also highlighted the scientific depth of the Quran, stating, “For instance, the Big Bang theory was described in the Quran over 1,400 years ago. Continue exploring the universe and expanding your knowledge.”
