Mangalore, Mar 13: The institutions' day of Father Muller Charitable Institutions was held at the Father Muller Stadium here on Tuesday March 13. The graduation ceremony of the institutions was also held on the occasion.

Dr Aloysius Paul D'Souza, bishop of Mangalore diocese presided and distributed the gold medals.
Prof Shantha Sinha and Dr K S Sriprakash administrated the oath and presented the graduation certificates.
Prof Shantha Sinha addressing the gathering said that when young graduates take the oath, they are also taking the responsibility of upholding the dignity of their patients. "Each patient you meet, they trust you, hence being compassionate, a good listener and care taker is essential," she pointed out.
"Doctors should empathize on patience as there are challenges in the medical profession. Lack of knowledge among patients is one among them. The medical profession is a gift to discover the truth in us as each life is important and should be treated with utmost care. It is the duty of the medical practitioners to treat all patients," she said, advising the young graduates to uphold professional ethics.
Earlier a procession of the graduates was held from the medical college premises to the venue.
Fr Patrick Rodrigues, director, FMCI read out the annual report of various colleges like Father Muller School of Nursing, Father Muller Homeopathic Medical College, Father Muller Medical College, Father Muller College of Speech and Hearing.
Fr Denis D’sa, administrator, FMMC and FMCON delivered the vote of thanks. A variety of cultural programme followed, adding a dose of entertainment to the event.
