Mangaluru, Sep 10: The graduation day ceremony, diploma awarding ceremony and the annual day of Unity Academy of Education College and School of Nursing was held at Urwa church hall on Saturday, September 10.
The graduation ceremony of the 17th, 18th and 19th batch of BSc nursing and diploma awarding ceremony of the 4th, 5th and 6th batch of paramedical students was held. As many as 54 students graduated.
Principal Dr Raja A presented the annual report while nursing superintendent Cynthia D’Souza administered the oath for the graduates.
Addressing the gathering, registrar RGUHS Bengaluru M R Ravi Kumar said, “It is a great occasion for the students who were paused for four years due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic that such a programme is being organised. The graduates have reached till here due to sleepless nights, hard work, sacrifice and support of their parents. Whatever you learnt will be tested by everyone. What you learnt is just knowledge and when you go out with knowledge into the mainstream, your skills, behaviour and approach will matter the most than knowledge. How you deal with the patients and take care of them will be more important than the knowledge that you have acquired.”
He also said, “Dream is not just to get a certificate or to get into a hospital job. The dream is to transform that to achieve and succeed. Dream is not a destination but a journey.”
Chairman of Unity Academy of Education C P Habeeb Rahman said, “The Unity hospital was started in 1978 and the Unity Academy of Education started in 1982 to provide for better service to the people and to the students respectively. Unity Hospital has been upgraded and modernised with many facilities. It has also won many national and International awards. The graduates have opted for this noble profession and you need to be grateful to your parents, teachers and to the almighty god.”
Prizes were awarded to the meritorious students.
The formal function was followed by a cultural event.
Trustee of Unity Academy of Education Yenapoya Ajmal, Ashfaq M Habeeb, general manager operations Devaraj and others were present.
Samrudhhi proposed the vote of thanks. Nagaraj and Ashraya compered the event.
