Ex Vice Chancellor of the Bangalore University and also Chairman of Indian Society for Technical Education Dr. N. R. Shetty delivered the Graduation Day Address. Dr. N R Shetty, in his Convocation Address, said that, Engineering education is moving towards an information rich, student centered learning. In the Changing Educational Scenario, there has been a rapid expansion of Indian Institutions of higher education since independence, from twenty universities and 640 colleges to nearly 450 universities and around 15,000 colleges today. As per the Knowledge Commission if we are to move up to an enrollment rate of 15 percent in higher education by 2015, we need at least 1500 universities as against the existing 450 universities. The Government of India should review the educational system in its entirety by establishing a new Education Commission on the model of the Dr. Kothari Commission to give impetus to the technical education. Development of Entrepreneurship Culture is the need of the hour. The overriding challenge is to foster an entrepreneurial culture that encourages and supports people, particularly young women and men, in the context of creating decent work for all. Rapid technological change and the emerging global marketplace are increasing opportunities and the need for scientific and technological entrepreneurship. Industries and institutes are mutually supportive to each other Industry needs research outcome so as to remain competitive globally. On the other hand, academic researchers in institutes need access to industry for application of findings of their research. Academic institutes by virtue of research and innovation should show the way for industrial development. Succeeding internationally requires cultural and economic understanding no less than technological expertise.

Dr. H.D. Chowdaiah, the Board of Governors Chairman in his presidential address administered the oath to the graduates He also advised the students to have good relation with the college.

Dr. B. Ramachandra, Controller of Examinations read out the list of graduates after a briefing of the examination process.

2^nd Graduation Ceremony :

It was organized on the Saturday 26-11-2011 at the college auditorium. The programme started with invocation and Nadageethe by Kumari Swathi & Team.

Dr. H. Maheshappa, Vice Chancellor, Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belgaum, addressed the Graduates. Dr. H. Maheshappa, in his Graduation Day Address to the students, said that, In all walks of life, something or the other relates to your past learning that helps in contributing in terms of practical knowledge. Integrate the feedbacks obtained from your environment and then plunge into action. You will start seeing the results over a period. The challenge today is to develop mechanisms to transform the potential into product for economic, social and national growth. A great scholar, reformer and spiritual master Swami Vivekananda said 'Education is the manifestation of Perfection already in Man'. We believe that teacher is a facilitator and guardian in the process of empowering the student to become a fully mature individual. In his speech, he also said the students that, 'You need to break out of old paradigms. Creativity can only come out of diversity and bold approach. No work is superior or inferior. Remember, if you love your work, you will never find it hard and tiresome, no matter how long you devote for it. Success is not just a matter of luck, also depends on adequate preparation, implementation and determination. You shall do it with all sincerity, perseverance and complete involvement'.

Prof. B. R. Ananthan Vice-Chancellor, Rani Channamma University, Belagavi in his Graduation Day Address, said that, UNESCO report on education, chaired by Jacques Delores, strongly recommended four pillars i.e., Learning to know (Education to gain knowledge), Learning to do (To be able to act creatively on one's environment), Learning to Live together (To participate and co-operate with other people in all human activities), Learning to be (Education for existence). Knowledge is the purity in this world. So life-long learning is nothing but acquiring necessary knowledge and skills for better performance in the life. Henry Ford says "Any one who keeps learning throughout life stays young. The greatest thing is to keep your mind young." Ones dreams and aspirations will drive to higher levels of achievement and make your life purposeful. you will be able to reach your goal with focused attention. In case you are employed in addition to having technical competence, you must work with commitment to your profession as if you are the owner of the establishment. Develop a work culture which results in pleasing your superiors, respecting your colleagues and helping people who may come to you. In his speech he inspired the students, saying that, "Never give up dreams and aspirations that will drive to higher levels of achievements and make your life purposeful". There are many examples of engineering graduates in our State of Karnataka who shaped their career as eminent engineers to bring fame and name to our country. Sir Mokshagundam Vishveshwariah, S.G. Balekundri are the notable names. As inheritors of a society which blossomed up great values for life and a deep concern for Human Development, one should intensely aspire for deepening and broadening the knowledge, learn to experience the power of collective team work, and always be guided by higher values which you believe in.

Sri H.D. Chowdaiah, Chairman, Board of Governors, in his address said that, the students should continue to interact with the Institute.

Dr. B. Ramachandra briefed the examination process and read out list of the graduates.
Dr. K. N. Umesh Dean, Academic Affairs presented the list of Rank holders and assisted the Chief Guests for the award of Medals as per Table 2. Dr. V.

4^th Graduation Ceremony :

Fourth Graduation Ceremony was organized on Saturday the 04-09-2013 in the campus. The programme started with invocation and Nadageethe by Kum. Kavyashree & team.

Dr. K. Balaveera Reddy, Ex Vice-Chancellor, VTU Belgaum, distributed the medals to toppers. In his Graduation Day speech, he expressed that today Indian economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other Asian countries, are undergoing a severe economic crunch. Most of the Indian industries, especially medium and small scale industries have either been closed down or are closing down. For developing countries like India with the changing paradigm of business, it is right time to nurture Techno-Entrepreneurship through systematic and institutionalized entrepreneurship. Technological Entrepreneurship is expected to be a significant source of good jobs. The direct employment effects of such start-ups are limited, but the additional opportunities of this wealth creation both up-stream and down-stream and the "multiplier" effect throughout the economy typically out-number the direct employment by a significant factor.

Dr. Rajkumar R. S., Vice-President of Bosch Rexroth India Ltd., awarded the degrees to B.E, M.Tech, MBA and MCA students. He addressed the gathering, and said, the practical inputs out of the experiences in his own career life. Do not plan for a job. When you plan for a career, Let the career path one choose be out of one's own passion. One may plan to be an academician, Researcher, Inventor, expert in Production and Production Systems, Quality Systems, Application specialist, Technology Experts, Marketing Specialists, Project Specialists, Software Specialists, and financial experts and so on. Always remember that one is the creator of ones own destiny. The Career life cycle has its own spans. Till one is of 28 to 30 years of age, the span of learning and exploring is wide. This phase of life is the most important phase as it will determine the future course of one's career. This is like the Foundation course of ones career. Hence one should have best focus and dedication during the period.

Dr. B. Ramachandra, Controller of Examination, presented the list of graduates and assisted the Guest of Honor, in awarding Provisional Degree certificates, after giving a brief of the examination process.
