Mangalore, May 31: The golden jubilee year was inaugurated at the Institute of Social Service, Roshini Nilaya, in a special event along with the Eucharistic celebration at Valencia Church.  

The daughters of the heart of Mary (DHM) joined at St Vincent Ferrer Church for the holy mass as part of the Eucharistic celebration. The inauguration of the golden jubilee year was done with the unveiling of the institute crest by Noemia D’Souza, the president of the institute of social service, at the auditorium of the institute.




























 

Dr Olinda Pereira, one of the pioneers of Roshini Nilaya, in her inaugural address said, “Roshini Nilaya has continued its service to society by experiencing the problems in the society around. It has turned its failures into steps to success. This has helped us walk into the golden jubilee year”, she said.  

Sandra Cutinho and Priya D’Souza, students of MSW, presented the 49 years of Roshini Nilaya’s journey.  

An exhibition based on the milestones of the institute and its pioneers, was also held on the occasion.  

Dr Philomina D’Souza, provincial of the institute, welcomed all. Principal of the institute Dr Jacinta D’Souza proposed the vote of thanks.

    An elderly woman once remarked to me that if you hand over a barren piece of land to a nun they will convert it into a gold mine. Today all children and their parents living in the vicinity should be deeply indebted for having automatically gained entry and to have an opportunity to begin their academic debut from one of the most beautiful institute called Roshni Nilaya. Until recently the only institute that offered degrees in Social work, besides conducting rural social awareness programmes and other camps that must have greatly benefited and upgraded the living conditions of several impoverished families in and around Mangalore, my humble salute to visionary nuns ( or Miss if as they would like to be addressed)

    The very name "Roshni Nilaya" creates special feelings from a distance, because it is our beautiful neighbourhood where we walked bare footed, where we played with simple childhood life, and where we enjoyed some of the finest part of our young days in the monumental residential area of late Sreshta family. The Religious Sisters were bestowed with one of the "gold mines" of the Christian dwelling that has been so beautifully preserved and transformed into an intellectual garden where so many hundreds of young women Master their educational talents into a discipline of Social Work. Dr. Olinda Pereira''s valuable presence at Roshni Nilaya added with the dynamic and cheerful leadership of Dr.Sr.Jacintha is such a blessing that there is no other gift to substitute in that wonderful place. May "Roshni Nialaya" continue their dedication towards their goals of education and may God preserve the historical monument for many decades so that the Chrstian contributions may prevail as a landmark in Mangalore at all times. Thank you, Sr.Jacintha, for your magninimous efforts, and let''s celebrate the Golden Jubilee once again during our next trip to "beautiful Mangalooru".
