Mangaluru : GEM Private School in Oud Metha, Dubai, served as the vibrant venue for the Dubai Gadinada Utsav, hosted by the Gadinadu Sahitya Samskrithika Academy UAE Unit. This special event celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Academy and honored the remarkable contributions of Dr. Fakhruddin Kunil, Chairman of the Kunil Group, who was awarded the prestigious Gadinada Prashathi Award for his commitment to education. Dr. Kunil’s journey began 35 years ago in a small village in Shiriya, Kasaragod district, where he founded a school offering comprehensive education from LKG to 12th grade, complete with uniforms like tie, shoes, belt, socks etc and transport services. Inspired by the encouragement of the local community, he later established a second school in Badiadka, and, buoyed by their continued support, expanded further with the Natekal Kunil School and Thumbe Kunil School in Karnataka. This celebration not only recognized his achievements but also underscored the vital role of education in community development.
With the blessings of the God Almighty, four schools have become a nurturing ground for 7000 students, supported by 600 dedicated staff and 125 school vans that ensure safe transportation. We take pride in consistently achieving 100 percent results, a testament to Dr Fakhruddin kunils commitment to excellence in education. If the government grants permission, the esteemed Chairman, Dr. Fakhruddin Kunil, is poised to introduce degree courses in BA, B.Com, B.Sc, and BBA, further enriching academic offerings and providing greater opportunities for students.
