Kundapur, Dec 2: The anniversary celebrations of Gurukula Public School and Pre-University College at Vakwady were held in the college ground on Saturday, November 28.
Speaking on the occasion, columnist and critic, Dr Narendra Rai Derla said that marks secured in the degrees spoil the relationships between people. “As human relationships are created on the basis of suspicions of Math and science, we are forgetting the path laid down by our elders”.
“The education which is acquired through companionship and relationship provide excellent knowledge of our land, ancestors and culture. Achievement is possible when we proceed towards knowledge with a clean mind. Just like two rivers join to form one river, our different cultures should combine to unite us”.
“What we gain out of social work should not be important to us. It should have principles in it so that innocent minds may be inspired towards value based education”.
“We should be aware that media that turn their cameras towards the milestones in education can also turn them to a dangerous situation such as unrest in the coastal region”, he said.
Basruru Mahathobara Mahalingeshwara temple trustee, Basrur Appanna Hegde who presided over the programme, said that youth are migrating to other places for jobs and traditional rural agriculture is on the verge of extinction. “There have been 217 murders registered in the coastal twin districts. These incidents indicate where we are heading. In this respect, Gurukula educational institute is working towards progress of the children by providing extracurricular education along with academic studies”.
Winners of competitions were distributed presents on the occasion.
Gurukula Public school managing trustee Subhaschandra Shetty Bandya and Anupama S Shetty were present. Pre university College principal Srinivas K and Gurukula school headmaster Pravin Kumar B N read the annual reports.
Student Denzil Mendonsa introduced the guests. Student Akeshiya compered the programme. Student leaders Rutik K Shetty and Safa Kulsam welcomed and proposed vote of thanks. Students presented cultural programme at the end of anniversary programme.
