This accolade was presented in recognition of his unwavering dedication to delivering quality education to children from marginalized and underprivileged communities. The award ceremony, held at the Bengaluru Press Club, was a grand affair attended by Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, Cabinet Minister N. Cheluvarayaswamy, and other eminent dignitaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at the event, Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar lauded the recipients for their exemplary contributions to society. Reflecting on the responsibilities that come with such recognition, he remarked,&nbsp;<em>&#8220;After being honored, the responsibility increases. I wish all the awardees the best in their continued service to society.&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;He also took the opportunity to emphasize the need for truthful journalism in today&#8217;s media landscape, adding,&nbsp;<em>&#8220;Today&#8217;s media often chases controversy rather than truth. It is time to prioritize truth and authenticity.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohammed Fiaz Sharif, in his acceptance speech, expressed his deep gratitude for the honor, stating,&nbsp;<em>&#8220;I am overwhelmed to receive this recognition. It is a testament to our commitment to serving society through education. This award strengthens my resolve to continue empowering the underserved communities with even greater dedication.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Legacy of Educational Excellence: The Wisdom Group of Institutions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award highlights the transformative journey of Wisdom Group of Institutions, founded in 2000 by Fiaz Sharif. The institution began with a humble enrollment of one student and two teachers but quickly grew into a beacon of hope for underprivileged communities. Today, with 19 branches across Karnataka, Wisdom International School educates over 15,000 students, blending academic rigor with Islamic values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school\u2019s philosophy, encapsulated in the belief that&nbsp;<em>&#8220;celebration should not be for mere celebrating, but for achieving,&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;is evident in its programs that focus on moral education, character development, and community engagement. From Annual Day celebrations to Independence Day and Karnataka Rajyotsava Day, each event serves as a platform for imparting meaningful lessons and fostering a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fiaz Sharif of Wisdom Group Honored with \u2018Pride of Karnataka\u2019 Award by Dy CM DK Shivakumar\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RDjeCZXk74g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Empowering Futures, Shaping Communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Fiaz Sharif&#8217;s leadership, the institution has not only provided accessible education but has also nurtured future leaders who are equipped with critical thinking, empathy, and ethical values. The school\u2019s core mission is to empower students from downtrodden communities, preparing them to navigate and excel in an ever-evolving world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Fiaz Sharif stood on stage to receive the&nbsp;<em>&#8216;Pride of Karnataka&#8217;<\/em>&nbsp;award, it was more than a recognition of his achievements; it was a celebration of the transformative power of education and the lives touched by his vision.
