People from all communities joined together and the artistes should take initiative of organising events to join one another.

I am organising this event for the first time in Mangaluru, We are thankful to St Aloysius College for providing us this beautiful venue. Everything went on well and students have enjoyed it. We hope that students take up this initiative and create more programmes like this. We are planning to go on a state-level tour with our drama Manteswamy from day after tomorrow. All these events will happen in Chikkamagaluru. We are thankful to each and every volunteer from St Aloysius College. They have really helped us a lot. Students should focus on their talents along with academics."

The college students are taking initiative and that's why we organised a jamming session for which many students came to us after the concert to ask about the instruments and there are many percussion players in St Aloysius College. The college's vibe is beautiful and the students are talented. The only advice that I give to students is that they should not give up on their instruments once they get settled."
