Dr. Manjunath Bhandary, Chairman, in his presidential remarks said that he was very happy to see so many students graduate on this memorable occasion and he congratulated the graduates on their achievements and the parents for placing their trust in Sahyadri when they chose this college four years ago for their children to study a professional course. He told the gathering that so far they were dependents but now they have become independent adults of society and able to make their own decisions; they can choose what is right and what is wrong. He said that mistakes, failure and rejection are part of life and that the word FAIL should not be taken literally but it is to be read as `First Attempt In Learning’ and that there are plenty of opportunities out there. Dr. Bhandary called upon every graduate to be the Brand Ambassadors of the institution where ever they may be placed in life and to always uphold the name of the institution.
