Speaking at the inauguration of the student council of Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara (SDM) Law College, Mangalore, on Tuesday, he said that many times, religion made way for separation. “However, the Constitution should be your supreme god. Stand above all differences such as caste and creed in the legal profession,” he said, adding that everyone was equal before law.
Alumni of the institution Minister for Health and Family Welfare U T Khader and Udupi City Corporation Commissioner K Shrikanth Rao were felicitated on the occasion.
Speaking after the felicitation, Mr Khader said that awareness of the law was extremely necessary for everyone in today's world. “The country can be made strong only if students in classrooms and playgrounds are empowered. Utilise the opportunities you get in colleges and educational institutions to the fullest extent. While others may criticise you, your parents and teachers are the ones who correct you if you go wrong. Use their guidance as foundation to move forward in life towards your goals,” he told the students.
In his presidential address, Vice Chancellor of Kuvempu University Prof S A Bari said that academics and concerns were the combination to ensure a healthy society. “Education, health, social concerns and a good government are instrumental for good governance in a country. This country needs you; you are the future of the country. When the entire world is going to grow old, India is going to grow young, as most Indians will be in the age group of 30-35 years by the year 2020, which is the most productive age group,” he said.
Staff advisor T Vidyashankar administered the oath to members of the student council. Mr Shrikanth Rao also spoke during the programme.
President of the student council Anish Krishna welcomed the gathering. Principal of the institution Dr B K Ravindra was present.
