Mangaluru: The Civil Service examination coaching programme organised by the Department of Political Science of St Aloysius College was inaugurated by Dr K G Jagadeesha IAS, Deputy Commissioner, Dakshina Kannada district with Dr M R Ravi KAS, CEO of Zilla Panchayat of Dakshina Kannada as the Guest of Honour. The programme was held on June 22 afternoon at SANIDHYA(Teletorium) in the campus.
The programme was presided over by Fr Dionysius Vas SJ, Rector, St Aloysius Institutions, and in the presence of Dr Praveen Martis SJ, Principal of St Aloysius College. In the presence of the august gathering, the Guests lit the lamp to ceremoniously inaugurate the novel venture. Quoting the words of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr Rose Veera D’Souza, HOD, Department of Political Science delivered the welcomed address.
Dr Jagadeesha inspired the students and faculty alike with an insightful speech reflecting on his experiences and motivating factors, which spurred him on to choose a career in the civil services. He also led an interactive session and answered their various queries. “There are two things needed for civil service – balance of judgment and common sense”, he said. He urged students to take every failure as a stepping stone to success.
Dr M R Ravi KAS quoted Bernard Shaw saying “The most uncommon thing in the world is common sense”. He advised students to pursue a career in the civil services with hard work and determination. The programme concluded with the proposal of the vote of thanks by Alwin D’Souza from the Department of Political Science.
The programme for the year has a module of 60 hours of coaching with special sessions by public personnel that will be organized to face the challenges of preparation.
