Mangaluru: “Be positive and don’t ever let negative thoughts enter your mind. Plan your future and strive hard to attain your goal. Then you will attain success in your life,” said Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) Vice-Chancellor, Dr S Sacchidanand on Sunday, March 24.
He was addressing the students of Mangala School and College of Nursing and Para Medical Sciences after inaugurating the graduation and annual day celebration at T V Raman Pai Convention Centre. “Students should not neglect their parents, teachers and elders. It is the responsibility of each person to respect them. After pursuing an education in an institution, one should not break their relationship with the institution,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sacchidanand informed about the changes which are taking place in the Para Medical Sciences. “The Para Medical Board has already been set up and a Para Medical Council will be set up shortly. Right now there is no proper registration system for students who get certified in paramedical science. A registration number is important to secure a job in foreign countries. Once the Para Medical Council is set up, the registration process will become easier,” he said.
Member secretary of the Para Medical Board, Dr. N Ramakrishna Reddy, who is also a Special Officer in the Karnataka Group of Educational Institution was the chief guest of the programme informed. In his address to the gathering, Reddy said, “There are over 50,000 students pursuing their education in over 315 paramedical colleges in the state. There is a good scope for the paramedical course in and around the country”, he informed.
Mangala Group of Educational Institutions Chairman, Dr Ganapathi P presided over the event. He called upon the graduates to strive hard in their profession and wished them success in their future endeavours.
College of Nursing principal Prof Marie E Pinto and College of Para Medical Sciences principal Prof Pratijna Suhasini G R read out the annual report. Para Medical Sciences vice principal Prof Geethalakshmi administered the oath to the graduates. A total of 173 students from the nursing college and paramedical sciences received their graduation certificates. Meanwhile, the first rank holder in Dialysis Technology, Arpitha, second rank holder Divya Poojary, third rank holder Aishwarya, along with the second rank holder in Operation Theatre Technology, Vighnaraj Bhat were felicitated on the occasion.
