www.sahyadri.edu.in Speech of Deputy Chief Minister Dr. Ashwathnarayan C N

There is NO second thought that Educational Institutions are a Temple of Learning. So, when we show respect, loyalty, discipline, dedication and commitment towards it, that institution grows undoubtedly, but we too grow personally and see holistic development in us. Everyone lives their life but we should add meaning to our life and to accomplish this, we need good educational institutions in the society. If our society should grow to greater heights in all spheres, there is no other means but through educational institutions who are the supporting pillars for the society's overall development. Hence, Education gives solution to all possible problems and brings our hidden talents in front. Keeping this in mind, we establish educational institutions for students to pursue their studies. In general, Educational Institutions are established with Not-For-Prot motive. Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management, Mangaluru may have been established by Mr. Manjunath Bhandary under Bhandary Foundation; however he does not get the ownership. Hence Deputy CM, appreciated the efforts of Mr. Manjunath Bhandary for establishing this institution and urged the society to join hands and build it together. He acknowledged the challenges that one faces in order to start an educational institution. Having said that, overcoming all odds and challenges, you have worked hard and built this institution so rstly, I appreciate Mr. Manjunath Bhandary and his spouse Mrs. Prasanna Bhandary. Most of the stakeholders . Government, Students, Universities that gives afliation, look at the institutions as a commercial centre. What difference does this institution make to the society is more important. We build these institutions using student fees only along with the initially contributed land and funds. It's not enough to grow an institution only through fees to a premier level in terms of quality. He acknowledged Mr. Pradeep Shetty for lending the land for Sahyadri. An educational institution is mandatorily run through Trust; Society or Section 8 Company hence they cannot run it for prot. There is accountability. Income Tax scrutinizes them every year. Many Statutory agencies scrutinize the operations of the institution. In this set up, Alumni should also contribute to their respective alma mater in a small or big way if they believe that this institution is going to make a difference to many students just like it made a difference in your life. That is the only way forward if you want to transform the society. It is my responsibility to Congratulate the efforts of Mr. Manjunath Bhandary of Sahyadri and the people who helped in building this institution.

16 It always seen that when there is a good point put across in the parliament, there is always an opinion that the funds will be misused. There is accountability for everyone. When we do not enforce, only then they do it in their own way. We extend our wholehearted support to Sahyadri whether Visvesvaraya Technological University or from the State Govt. With a good intension VTU has been introduced. There is lot of improvement. We may have not transformed to the level of expectation, we have to, however we are still striving towards the quality in terms of syllabus, or regulations. We are completely revising syllabus just like you are giving internship inside the college. Students should be getting opportunities and be industry ready. Sahyadri has amazing Centres of Excellence on all emerging areas like Data Science, AI, Machine Learning, Cyber Security, IoT; Industrial Hubs, Companies established and Start Ups and all other activities. He appreciated how all this has already been incorporated. Most of the engineering colleges are way behind from what Sahyadri has set- up. In this direction, we have to do a lot. In this process, we are bringing lot of improvements in VTU and bringing lot of changes by integrating internship. NEP is to be implemented in YR 2021. Engineering colleges are currently facing challenges but will be better positioned to take best advantage, adapt and integrate and promote NEP. Engineering colleges will do extremely well because of the multi-disciplinary programme, integration of various major and minor subjects, probably lot of combinations can be offered. They can do extremely well in the days to come. There will not be even a single vacant seat in Engineering Colleges. Only thing is, some of the Engineering colleges are not managed properly. Probably GER (Gross Enrollment Ratio) in Karnataka is 28%, Tamil Nadu is 50%, Neighboring states range in 35%, 36% 33%. We are also targeting to reach 50% GER. Through NEP and VTU, we should bring developments and we are looking at giving Equity funds worth Rs. 50 Crores for startups this year from VTU. Let's bring improvements in quality together. Under the leadership of Mr. Hariskrishna Bantwal, Mangalore Innovation will be a reality and support would be extended from the State Government. Karnataka is leading from front in terms of Technology and Innovation and Entrepreneurship. He gave the 5 years projection of revenue through Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Technology is integrated in various elds, Agriculture is completely in digital form, Transportation, Logistics, Learning Institutes. Each and every vertical will be a big industry. We look forward to a better future in every sector. Don't worry about future, but make efforts, skill up or upgrade yourself. Employee or employer, job creator or job seeker whatever it might be, you need to be happy and enjoy whatever you are doing. Do anything but “Pursuit of Excellence” should be the only slogan lifelong. When you do anything with self-motivation in pursuit of excellence and programme your mind and body to this, natural forces will encourage us to achieve what we want. This is 99% true as it has become true in his life. Karnataka has lot of potential, as Product Design for most of the countries happens in Karnataka. Every year 8 lakhs jobs are created (Formal Jobs) in Karnataka which are registered under Provident Fund and the Graduates put together is only 5 lakhs every year. He concluded his speech recognizing the efforts of Mr. Manjunath Bhandary for the whole set- up of Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management. 17
