He further said that the educational institute would provide a student the best possible chance and it is up to him to make himself available to the values of life such as perseverance, tolerance and generous disposition that would stand him in good stead in future life. But then it was possible only when the student would fully commit to the extra curricular activities provided by the college management, he added.

Dr K S Karanth, the psychiatrist of Sathya Manasa was the chief guest. Speaking on the occasion Dr K S Karanth pointed out that it was natural for students to experience some times the emotional eruption due to intolerance and dissatisfaction.
