Mangaluru, Mar 25: "Today, we are remembering a great personality like Fr Augustus Muller because of his leadership and character. His leadership and character made him a great personality. He has provided an opportunity for generations now," C A Simon, superintendent of police, Anti-Corruption Bureau, Western Range.
He was speaking during the inauguration of the student council 2021-2022 of Father Muller College of Allied Health Sciences (FMCAHS), here on Thursday March 24.
Speaking on a malpractice case in Rajiv Gandhi University as a detective, Simon said, "In this profession, you are playing a vital role in maintaining the health of the society and people. Not only qualification, but moral and ethical values also play a vital role in the profession."
Stating that in a particular case, detectives had to arrest 22 doctors in two days. "The reason I am giving these examples is because all this is happening due to lack of ethics and morality. In every step that we take, ethics and morality are very important. You are in an esteemed institution. There is a great opportunity before you. Please make the best use of it. Being leaders, you will help others and it also helps in shaping your lives. It also helps to enrich your own experience. Many times we hesitate to take responsibility. But, there is a difference between a boss and a leader. A leader will find his own way to grow," he said.
Fr Richard Aloysius Coelho, director, Father Muller Charitable Institutions, in his presidential address, "The students while becoming leaders also should create more leaders for the society by rendering service with pride." He called upon the students to make use of the opportunity provided by the institution or the college by heading with confidence. “Inspire your fellow human beings and motivate them for a noble cause. The student council president and its members are leaders from outside, but you should look within. Utilize the opportunity with a mission and work for a cause,” he said.
He also said, “You are the leaders to express and not impress. Do not strive for recognition but your absence should be felt. Uphold ethics and moral values with righteousness.”
Student council president Kristen Clive D’Cruz, general secretary Ajay Wilson Lobo, secretary for culture activities Sanath M Nayak, secretary for magazine committee Anjali Sherlin Shaju, secretary for art committee Janet Sara Manoj received the files and badges from the dignitaries.
Administrators Fr Ajith B Menezes and Fr Rudolph Ravi D'Sa, and dean Urban J A D'Souza were present.
