Mangalore, Aug 1: ‘True Education’ sessions that had commenced on trial basis from July 12, at Sri Venkataramana Swamy College by Dr Bhamy Venkataramana Shenoy, NRI entrepreneur and consumer rights crusader, ended in Bantwal near here, on Saturday July 28. 

The valedictory address was delivered by Harish, a seventh standard student from Bantwal government Higher Primary School.  

Shenoy said that Harish hails from a backward community and belongs to a very poor family. By choosing him as chief guest, brings the focus on hundreds of students like him and schools having children like him, added Shenoy. 

This seminar was organized with an aim to inculcate the habit of questioning in students. Nearly 20 degree students from the college participated in the programme.

The programme gave them confidence to express their feelings, ask questions without any fear, said Dr Shenoy. The parent of the students who attended the function, too were happy with the change in attitude of their children. 

Dr Seetharama Mayya principal of the college, Suman Shenoy and faculty members were present on the occasion. The function ended on a happy note with the participants to the seminar volunteering to bear the expenses of Harish’s further studies henceforth.
