About 250 students and their parents participated in the program. Prof. Mustafa, HOD-Computer Science, welcomed the gathering and gave a brief presentation of offerings at BIT.
Addressing the new students and their parents, the Chairman of Bearys Academy of Learning, Syed Mohamed Beary, said that each student must develop a quality of endurance and must be hard working. He advised the students to spend more time on their studies and not give importance to frivolous pursuits. He asked the students to sacrifice 4 years of a student life to enjoy the remaining part of their life or may have to suffer the remaining days if they think on enjoying these 4 years of student life.
In his address, Principal, Dr Rana Pratap Reddy expressed his concern towards the growth of this great country. When India got the freedom in year 1947, the leaders of that time had a big dream of making India as a great nation. But we did not succeed for various reasons. The future of this nation is shaped inside the classroom. So the students should make that dream come true. With the help of cumulative effort from students, staff and parents, we at BIT will make all our students good leaders of tomorrow with a lot of values and ethics. He promised of taking BIT to greater heights in the coming 2 years.
