Mangaluru, Dec 28: The 32nd ‘Expert Day’ was held in a glittering fashion at Expert P U College, Kodialbail on Wednesday, December 27.

Ranjeet Kate, CEO, Metropolitan Media Company Limited-Times Group, Bengaluru inaugurated the colorful programme. Addressing the gathering he said, "The Nayak family has laid a strong foundation as Expert College has produced toppers. Students studying here are able to crack the toughest of exams, be it engineering, CET or any other. Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman had said that the next decade will belong to ‘STEM’ which stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, which means you are in the right direction,"

“Do not give less importance to EQ (emotional quotient). It should go hand in hand with your IQ. Learning never stops in one’s life. Once you pass out, it does not mean that you stop learning as you keep learning new things all your lives,” he added.

Mayor Kavitha Sanil said, "Expert College has achieved name and fame. This education institution has grown to greater heights. It is good to see students from different districts come and study here. Students of all religions unite here and celebrate different festivals. I urge students not to inculcate bad habits,”

Chairman of Expert Institutions Prof Narendra Nayak said, "Students who come to Expert have specific goals in life. They work hard and try to achieve something. There have been several instances where low scoring students in SSLC have secured good marks in PUC,”

Making a point which makes every Expert alumnus proud, Prof Narendra Nayak said, “Expert College, Valachil, has the biggest 3D sign metal board in the country as per India Book of Records with each alphabet of 28 feet in height 147 feet in length.”

Vice chairperson Ushaprabha Nayak said, "We are not celebrating 32 years of success, but celebrating this day for sustaining this long. This has not been an easy task as we had to go through a lot of hurdles.”

Ranjeet Kate distributed IOB scholarships to Srujana, Annapoorna and Vishal Kishore for being the toppers in 2017 PU exams.

Arush Shetty and Prakruthi Shetty compered the programme. Amogh welcomed the gathering and Shravya rendered the vote of thanks.

Wife of Ranjeet Kate, Priyadarshini Kate, director of information technology Expert College Ankush Nayak, principal of Expert College Kodialbail Ramachandra Bhat, principal of Expert College Valachil N K Vijayan and others were present.
