Actually, St Agnes, bagged runners up, behind champions St Aloysius PU College. But since SAC is the host and it did not intend to give prize to itself. Hence, the first place went to St Agnes College, whereas Alva’s College Moodbidri bagged the second place at this State Level fest. Vision and Action are keys to success. If the vision is not clear, actions will not be clear and you cannot achieve success, said the Chief Guest Rev. Sr Maria Goretti S. R. A, Superior General designate of Missionary Sisters of the Queen of Apostles (S. R. A.). She also wished good luck to one and all and invoked God’s blessings on the participants for the future.

New Student Editors for the Blogs

24 Nov. I have been uploading the blogs of the department and my own, for over a year, now, sometimes uploading 3-4 times a day. That has made a lot of difference to many people around - my students, former students, friends and benefactors. I have learnt much in the bargain.

Now it is time to hand over the reign of the blogs to my students. Abrar and Arron have come forward to shoulder this responsibility of uploading the blogs (both the blogspot blogs). It is a massive task, demands much dedication, time and energy. But given their dedication, they would surely do a good job, under the able guidance of Ms Suman. I congratulate them and wish them well.

However, I will be updating my wordpress blog, myself.
