Industrial Visits, Seminars & Workshops: Darshan College, Kengeri
Incorporation of the new skills and new techniques into the curriculum was the dream of Darshan College of Commerce and Management, this was realized through the practical exposure to the two giant industries specially of the production of essential commodities Milk and Sugar. Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) and Mysore Sugars Limited (Mysugars) situated in Mandya witnessed hundreds of enthusiastic future entrepreneurs and executives from Darshan College. As the Buses carried the banners of the College on the Industrial visit, the students manifested their inquisitive mind by asking questions to the General Manager and to the Production Manager on “Production-Distribution-Consumption” “Profit & Loss”. As an appreciation towards the quality of the students and faculty, both the industrial giants kept open their doors for project works in the future.

Another mile stone as Darshan College initiated a Seminar on “Career Guidance to the Young Graduate Aspirants with special emphasis to Civil Service Examinations”. The clarion call of the new educational approach is “learning by doing”, so that the acquisition of the knowledge and skills through active, self-reflective and participatory engagement have greater impact in learning process and prepares oneself to go beyond the concepts and class room. The Principal, Prof. A. S. Chalam, extended a warm welcome to IRS Officers in the person of Prof. P. Gopakumar, IRS (C & CE), the Deputy Commissioner, Service Tax, Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India and Dr. Sibichen K. Mathew, IRS, Advisor, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. Both these IRS Officers explained the various procedures and modus operandi of Civil Service Examinations in India, their impact and the cutting edge of attaining success, and their experience as IRS Officers in India and Abroad. Our faculty Prof. Joice, who is retired IRS Officer also added his contributions to the seminar and expressed his desire to initiate “Civil Services Forum” in Darshan Campus.

As finance is the blood vein of business, Darshan College had another opportunity to host “SEBI-Financial Education Workshop on Creating Financial Awareness for Young Investors”. The brain storming session by Prof. Hari Vasudevan motivated the commerce graduates on the know-how of investment & financial practices. Darshan College remains grateful to SEBI-Mumbai & Chennai for the provision of study material on Financial & Investment Education.
