Addressing the gathering, Alwyn Noronha said, “I congratulate everyone over the journey towards being autonomous. You need to be grateful to your alma mater when you excel in your career. The bottom in the pyramid is like a working class, there are some hidden doors and ladder to reach to the top. The hidden ladders and doors will not be found easily for which you need to strive hard to reach the top position. Never worry about the failures as they make you learn. Do not be afraid of failure, be honest in the attempt you make and learn out of the failures.”
Bishop of Mangalore diocese Dr Peter Paul Saldanha said, “Students should never forget their alma mater. It is like a mother who teaches you to walk. Failures are natural and possible, never worry about it, but moral failures are more dangerous.”
Meanwhile, Bishop Dr Peter Paul Saldanha released the autonomy syllabus and also felicitated the toppers.
