Addressing the gathering, Walter Nandalike said, “Whenever I interact with students, I go back to my college days. Today everything has changed and technology has advanced. Earlier, completing degree and going abroad especially the Gulf was a dream. I was actively involved in extra-curricular activities and writing stories but my passion was journalism. Twenty-three years ago, the idea of Daijiworld was started on a April Fool’s Day and after 23 years it is nice to share stage with great personalities.
“I urge all students to empower yourself by using all the technologies and ideas. I encourage you to start your own business. To start a business, you need innovative ideas. I sold my idea 23 years ago without investing a single rupee. I encourage you to think something by coming out of the shell. Give life to your idea, even if it is small, as you do not know where you will reach in the future. Do not be with the people who have a negative mindset. Have a positive mindset so that you can have positive vibes around. The promises made during happiness are hard to fulfil. Do not take any decision when you are low or sad,” he said.
Vice chancellor Srinivas University Dr PS Aithal said, “As many as 22 years ago, MAGMA was started in Srinivas University to improve the confidence of business management students. The fest will be an opportunity showcasing your experience, knowledge and skills.”
In his presidential remarks, Pro chancellor Srinivas University Dr A Srinivas Rao said, “I congratulate the team members for setting up the two-day management and cultural fest. According to me, management is consortium of all the things which include idea, knowledge, and skills. You need to have the zeal to develop yourself and have attitude of commitment and hard work in you.”
