‘Praja prabuthvakke jayavagali’ meaning ‘Jai to Democracy’ . Don’t misunderstand this to be Rahmans latest hit song. These were the slogans which gave life to the protest rally organised by first year Mass Communication students. Post graduate students from the department of Social Work and English Literature also participated in the protest. The rally was held to protest against the recent isuues in Mangalore, the latest being denial of freedom of speech and expresssion in which B.A Samvartha, a correspondent of The Hindu was threatened by radical groups.

"ONce an Aloysian, always an Aloysian" Fr Principal

Degree report was read out to an audience that proved to be the best ones present. The Katte bubbled with students who turned out in large numbers irresepective of the hot sun. After all it was THEIR day.

Certificates were given to eligible students in the merit, attendence and co curricular activities categories. Student Council memebrs also received certificates.

THis one is for my hardwork!!!

 

True to the name of the event some students turned up in their traditional attire adding more colour and meaning to the event.

'Tashi Delek'. Thats 'Hello" in Tibetian for you. Tensin & Dolma in their traditional attire.

Right from Gods Own Country. The lovely girls from Kerala- Shilpa, Aneeshya & Veena

 

The much awaited segment of the Degree Day is the cinematic dance performed by students. Students send energy impulses throughout the audienec when they tapped their feet to songs of various languages- Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, English and Malayalam. What better proof for ‘unity in diversity’?

Move your body...

 

No activity in college where so many students gather is complete without ‘Baila’. This time though differing from the usual style of recorded songs being played, live band engaged the audience.
