The event began with the dignitaries lighting the traditional lamp along with the 1979 batch (which also was the first batch) of the college.

Dr Veerendra Heggade speaking on the occasion said, “I have seen plenty of gigantic events in my life but still few years back I could not have imagined that our students would reach such heights and have a global event like this.”

Talking about the history of the college, Heggade said this was the first higher education college to come up in Dharmasthala in those days. The concept and the vision were crafted by many pioneers such as Vajrakumar, Shirish Berry, VV Krishnamurthy and a few others.

He also congratulated the faculty and the teachers of the college for their determination towards the students and the deliverance over the quality of education

Heggade, concluding his speech said that there was a time that SDM was limited to Karnataka but today, Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara is globally known as the Swami who gave you all the education.

He briefed the gathering about the college history and the success the institution has achieved. He also spoke about the current avenues and facilities that the college offers.

On the other hand Prof Suresh Radar said, “Success is not only to bring name and fame to you but also to the people that you are associated with and the SDM CET Alumi Association – UAE chapter has done it by recognising the college at such a global forefront.”
