Building Character Beyond Degrees
Referring to the institution’s 50 years of educational service, Farook Mehmood said the college remains committed to the holistic development of students. “Students must become intellectually strong, emotionally confident, physically disciplined and socially responsible citizens,” he noted.
He further reminded students that success should not be measured only through employment or academic achievements. “A degree may help you secure a job, but values, courage and compassion are what give real meaning to life. Along with success, building a noble character is equally important,” he added.
Women Must Lead with Confidence and Courage
Chief guest and Karnataka Media Academy Chairperson Ayesha Khanum inspired students with a powerful message on perseverance and self-belief. “Success never comes easily. It is achieved only through hard work, honesty and confidence,” she said.
Encouraging students to rise above failures and social pressures, she advised them to trust their abilities and continue moving forward with determination. “Women today must emerge as leaders in every field. The courage to question, think independently and utilise opportunities with confidence is the key to meaningful leadership,” she said.
Culture, Talent and Encouragement Take Centre Stage
The celebration featured colourful cultural performances, including dance and music presentations by students, reflecting creativity and confidence. Talented students were felicitated during the programme, making the occasion a memorable tribute to excellence and dedication.
Several CMA office-bearers, faculty members, non-teaching staff, parents and students attended the programme, which was led by Vice Principal Dr. Syeda Tabassum S.G. and Degree College Principal Prof. Dr. M.S. Vidya.
