Blood Donation Camp @
Darshan College You
don’t have to be a doctor to save lives, just
donate blood. One of the acts of charity that
everyone can perform is donation of blood.
A small amount of blood can save at least 3
lives. With this noble thought Darshan College,
in collaboration with the Indian Red Cross
Society organized a blood donation camp. This
gave an opportunity to many students, parents
and faculty as well, to participate and be the
part of saving lives. The blood you donate gives
someone another chance at chance. One day that
someone may be a close relative, a friend, a
loved one or even you.

Celebration @ St. Anthony’s Institutions At
the Stroke of the midnight hour, when the world
sleeps, India will awake to life and Freedom –

either come back after raising the Indian flag
in victory or return wrapped in it, but I will
come for sure’ – Late Captain Vikram Batra.

memories of Kargil are etched deeper in the
hearts of Indian Citizens evoking and inflaming
the Spirit of Patriotism.
Vaccination Drive @
Darshan College Vaccines are one of the best things that ever
happened in medicines. The Covid 19 Pandemic has
created a new normal with social distancing,
wearing masks, virtual classes etc. Yet it’s not
to be considered as a victory of Corona Virus.
The United fight against the deadly virus
continues and grows stronger with every
awareness program conducted, with every
inoculation done. With this motivation, Darshan
College organized 3 Vaccination drives with the
help and support of Ullal Public Health Centre.

the college campus. It was a small step to
facilitate the global effort to destabilize the
Virus: Be vaccinated, be safe.

Beti Utsav @ Darshan
College A
Girl Child is a pride and future of the nation.
Empowering your girl child means empowering your
future. We are human beings, brought
into this beautiful planet by a woman. The
struggle of a girl child begins even before the
day she is born. She is ‘lucky’ if she is
allowed to be born. Even after birth, the girl
child faces discrimination and oppression. With
a view to create awareness about the scenario
with all the young minds, Beti Utsav was
celebrated on 25th of January 2021. The Resource
Person Dr. Usha Mohan, Motivational Speaker and
chief counselor, Senior Traffic Warden, Zonal
in-charge, Upparpet Limits focused on these
vital aspects: Trafficking, Sexual Abuse, Female
Foeticide, Women Safety, Menstrual Cycle and

pain to cry and die.
Marathon – a Run for
Unity @ Darshan College When

greater than all the pain endured during the
marathon. Department of Physical Education
Darshan College organized a 5 Km Marathon – a
Run for Unity. More than 200 participants took
part in the event. Faculty, Students and even
volunteers from the general public

A Day Out @ Darshan
College A
journey is best measured in friends and family
rather than miles. According to experts,
trips not only help to get relaxation from
regular chores but also helps in increasing
self-dependence, enhancing creativity, boosts
confidence and increase the sociability of
individuals. With a view to leave the footprints
and cherish long lasting memories, Darshan
college had organized trip exclusively for the
Final year students to the ‘Adventurous town’
Dandeli, Yana- which is a place of tourist
interest because of its unique karst rock
formation and to Coastal Karnataka. Our visit
was not only restricted to the adventurous
activities but also included visit to shrines.
In this regard, students were also taken to Our
Lady of Fathima Church, Perampalli and Udupi
Shri Krishna Mutt. There was also a part for
enjoyment and exclusive excitement in Malpe and
Panambur beaches. Our memories are the only
paradise from which we can never be expelled.
Creating memories is a priceless gift.
Industrial Visit by
Darshanites Confidence…
thrives on Honesty, on Honour, on the Sacredness
of obligations, on faithful protection and on
unselfish performance. Without them it cannot
live. In order to merge theoretical
learning with practical skills, Darshan College
organized an Industrial Visit for the students
to Karnataka Milk Federation, Mysore. Mysore
Dairy is fully channelled from manual to machine
which can be called ‘Mega-Digital’. The students
were quite enthusiastic to know the
milk-processing, packaging and selling methods
together with the process of filtration and
storage; various types of milk products are
manufactured and sold to satisfy the desire of
the customers. Towards evening, visit to Balmuri
falls which is a small water cascade located at
Srirangapatna was a thrilling experience to the
group. The Students grabbed every opportunity to
experience calmness and coolness of the
water-fall by throwing themselves off in the
cascade. The only source of knowledge is
experience.
BU Level Women’s
Kabaddi Tournament @ Darshan College Kabaddi
is popular in India by its catchy slogan 'Le
Panga'. It is one of the Ancient Games of India.
Kabaddi is a sport which most of us played in
our lives. Mostly in the rural areas this sport
is very popular among the youth as well as the
adults. This is a team sport which requires a
lot of physical as well as mental toughness.
This game teaches us many things like teamwork,
discipline, physical and mental toughness,
patience, awareness of the situation and many
more things. Bangalore University level Women’s
Kabaddi tournament was organized in our
Institution in which around 22 teams from
various parts of Colleges of BU took part. It
has been a successful event in which the
Corporators, Social activists took part in large
numbers. In the era of games like Pubg, Kabaddi
was an enthralling excitement that was witnessed
by the audience enthusiastically.
Industrial Visit by
Anthonians Education
does not have to take place only in the
classroom. All the world is a laboratory
for an inquiring mind. It is rightly said that
‘observe & understand’ is better than ‘read &
learn’. In this pursuit, St Anthony’s PU College
organized a One-Day Industrial Visit to Mother
Dairy, Yelahanka, Bangalore and Britannia
Industries Ltd., Bidadi, Ramanagara. The
students got an opportunity to visit pasteurized
milk packing unit, ultra-high temperature unit,
ice-cream, paneer and flavoured milk
manufacturing units. They were quite amazed to
view the live manufacturing processes viz.,
mixing of ingredients, moulding dough and baking
of biscuits, its packaging and storage. The
students were shown different biscuit
manufacturing units like Good Day, Bourbon,
Marie, Nutri-Choice, Treat Stars etc. At the end
of the visit, the students were really zealous
to know lot many things about the dairy and
biscuit products. The best source of
knowledge is Experience.
Seminar on Gender
Issues @ Darshan College Woman
is the companion of man, gifted with equal
mental capacity. With a view to focus
the intention and motto of Gender equality and
its contribution towards Women empowerment, a
one-day Seminar on Gender Issues was held at
Darshan College. Prof. Santa Sylvia, Counsellor,
Women’s Cell, Bangalore emphasized that Gender
equality and Women empowerment are important
factors for the social and economic development
of a nation. If democracy is the fairest way to
run a country, we must have the voices of women
heard. The speaker enlightened the audience
about the importance of the role of skin in
human body and self-defensive techniques. She
spelled out a few case studies on maturity level
and decision making process. The greatest win
can be achieved at home, particularly with
primary school children, mainly helping them to
recognize the bias against girls and women
within their world of school, media and among
friends and family. There is no greater
pillar of stability than a strong, free, and
educated Woman.
Industrial Visit by
Darshanites Industry,
thrift and self-control are not sought because
they create wealth, but because they create
character. In order to merge theoretical
learning with practical skills, Darshan College
organized an Industrial Visit for the students
to Heritage Winery, Ramanagara and Toy Industry,
Channapatna, Karnataka. The students were filled
with astonishment to know the process of
wine-making which consists of fermentation from
sediments and yeast using traditional filtration
techniques. The Toy World enlightened the
students as to how the toys are manufactured and
distributed. This traditional craft is protected
as a geographical indication under the World
Trade Organization, administered by the
Government of Karnataka. As a result of the
popularity of these toys, Channapatna is known
as Gombegala Ooru (toy-town) of Karnataka.
Indeed, it’s a symbol of pure craftsmanship and
artistry. Imagination is more important than
knowledge.

falls and has a narrow path of stairs carved
through the rocks. The former is also known for
the coracle ride that takes travellers up to the
mouth of the waterfall. The Gaganachukki falls

prove it by enriching our practical knowledge
through a visit to the Volvo Company Ltd.,
Hoskotte. Naturally, Industrial visits instill
immense happiness and excitement in students.
Learning from textbooks, lectures and other

learning. Practical, hands-on learning is
essential for better understanding of work
processes and business functions. Having such
thoughts in mind, Darshan College under the
direction of Rev. Fr. George Monis, the
Principal had organized the industrial visit to
become skilled at the practical knowledge in
Management, and about the production techniques

World Forest Day @ Darshan College Forests are the World’s air conditioning
systems- the lungs of the planet and we are on
the verge of switching it off. The greatest
threat to our planet is the belief that someone
else will save it. Forests are very essential
part of the life on Earth. They always fulfill
the demands of the human beings by providing
shadow, shelter, refreshment. In the modern
world, growing global population has increased
the demand for forest products so the forests
are at big risks of deforestation and
degradation. With a view to conserve forests,
prevent deforestation and prevention of soil
erosion, Darshan college took an initiative and
organized World Forest Day activity on the 21st
of March 2019. On this day, the students,
removed the weeds and engaged in planting
saplings in the College campus. Study nature,
love nature, stay close to nature, it will never
fail you. So, it is the duty of us all to
safeguard it.

Pencil Sketch Competition @ St. Anthony’s PU College ‘We tend to become like those whom we
admire’ – Thomas S Monson. Being the
role model is the most powerful form of
educating. In order to refresh the minds of the
Students towards their Role Models, St.
Anthony’s PU College organized ‘Pencil Sketch’
Competition. The theme for the event was ‘My
Role Model’. Many students participated and
depicted on the sheets their respective role
models from National leaders to religious
leaders. A role model in the flesh provides more
than an inspiration; his or her very existence
is the confirmation of the possibilities one may
have every reason to doubt, saying, ‘yes someone
like me can do this’. Its important what kind of
person you have chosen to be your role model,
for you will imitate that person to a greater
extent. The event gave a glimpse of the role
models the present generation imitates.

am a Teacher, I am not a soldier, but I go for
war everyday and hold in my hands the most
powerful weapon in the world. My army consists
of naïve and untainted minds, to whom I offer my
battle scars - the gift of knowledge and wisdom,
my mentors have taught me before. I train my
army not with guns and bombs, but with books
which are just as explosive. I am not a doctor,
but I treat their wounds, not with bandages and
antiseptic, but with words which are just as
therapeutic. I have won many battles in my life;

Seminar on Campus to
Corporate “C2C”@ Darshan College “Whenever you are asked if you can do a job,
tell them ‘certainly I can.’
Then get busy and find out how to do it.” Theodore Roosevelt With the arrival of May month and May
flowers, there arrive also Recruiters to the
Campus. Their mantra becomes a resonance in the
Campus, “right candidate for the right job at
the right time”. The Placement Cell of Darshan
College initiated the Seminar on Campus to
Corporate World in order to help the students to
discern the expectations and the challenges of
the Corporate World. Mr. Vinay and his team of
ZOBRA Learning presented the aspirations and the
modern challenges of the Corporate World. Their
motivational seminar helped the students to
identify “Skills needed to Enter, Sustain and to
Nurture corporate life.” It also enabled the
students to understand the transition needed
from a student becoming a professional. As
almost 80% of the Indian employers say that
today’s students lack soft skills and social
skills necessary to fit into the corporate
culture of their organization, this initiative
of Darshan College is one of the responses to
such a lacuna. The Placement Cell also invited
different Recruiters so that the candidates have
an opening to the world of work wherein their
aptitudes and their aspirations meet the demands
of the actual market. Certainly, Campus to
Corporate Seminar has been an exciting and
phenomenal step in the lives of the would-be
corporate candidates. Yes we can!

Product Launch
Initiatives @ Darshan College Product
launch events are essential to the existence,
survival or success of any business. They play a
vital role because they are always “start-up”
initiatives. Therefore, the product launch
initiatives are designed to achieve the specific
purpose of creating awareness and publicity for
a particular product/brand. Success of the event
can determine the future of the product, for it
can generate a lot of buzz, for it can pick-up
momentum, for it can be directly responsible for
post-launch sales. In view of giving practical
exercise and experience to the future
entrepreneurs Darshan College organised a
competition. The launching event was graced and
judged by Mr. Manjunath C N a well-known
Architect of great calibre, and Mrs. Rowina
Serrao a Management Graduate who excelled at
Christ University. Both the judges shared their
expertise in architecture and management and
gave some tips for an effective product launch,
i.e., aesthetics, effective presentations,
catchy captions and mind-blowing messages.
Government of Karnataka
face-à-face National Commission for
Minority Educational Institutions @ Vikasa
Soudha, Bangalore. The
Education Department of Karnataka and the
National Commission for Minority Educational
Institutions, New Delhi, interacted with one
another to sort out some of the burning issues
concerning the Minority Educational
Institutions. It was firmly affirmed that the
Minority Status Certificates issued by the
National Commission are to be accepted by the
Education Department of Karnataka because it is
issued by a valid recognized legal body
constituted by the Government of India. Once it
is issued they need not be renewed every year or
once in five years because the validity is not
for the duration but for the Minority Status of
the Institution either linguistic or religious.
It was also announced that those institutions
having the Minority Status Certificates do not
come under the purview of the RTE 25% admissions
as it is declared by the Supreme Court. Further,
the stand of Karnataka Government to declare an
institution as linguistic or religious minority
one must have 25% for Schools & PU Colleges and
50% for Degree Colleges was questioned because
when the total minorities in Karnataka form only
16.28% how can this be possible? Hence, the
National Commission has urged the Government of
Karnataka to review it’s stand in this regard.
The Government representatives have assured that
they will further study on the matter and do the
needful at the earliest. Br. Alwyn Dias
represented the Capuchins at the Vikasa Soudha.
Debate Competition @
Darshan College, Kengeri. “Argument
is conclusive... but... it does not remove
doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure
knowledge of the truth, unless it finds it by
the method of experiment.”
In view of contemplating the current themes and
trends, and to give an intellectual boost to the
young minds Darshan College invited three highly
intellectual jury members who have made a
difference in the society i.e. Mr. Sugun Daniel
Coelho, Mrs. Philomena Fernandes and Mr. M
Ramachandran to deliberate, discuss and to
discern the arguments and counter-arguments. The
event began with the famous verse: “Vidya
dadati vinayam, vinayam dadati patratam,
patratvam dhanamapnoti, dhanaddharmam tatah
sukham” which means “true or complete
knowledge gives discipline, from discipline
comes worthiness, from worthiness one gets
wealth, from wealth one does good deeds, from
that comes joy.” The intellectual calibre of the
competitors was tested on the following topics:
1. Wearing Helmets is essential for both
vehicle rider and pillion. 2. Social networking
sites are generally beneficial to our way of
life. The jury declared the winners on the
parameters of content, language, delivery,
logic, synthesis, argumentation, time
utilization and presentation. The event
co-ordinator Prof. Basanthi Goswamy was hailed
for the leadership, the event competitors were
applauded for their intellectual capacity to
argue and to counter-argue.
“Steppin’Out” Dance
Competition @ Darshan College “Dance
is for everybody. I believe that the dance came
from the people and that it should always be
delivered back to the people.” This expression
of Alvin Ailey speaks volumes about Dance. Dance
is a world in itself, for it is a way of knowing
and communicating. It communicates culture,
customs, traditions and life situations. It has
it’s own language which one has to understand
and appreciate. As it is said, “The body never
lies”, dance portrays the inner perceptions and
inner realities of mind and body. Different
teams with different attire gave full expression
to the music and took the eminent Judges and the
audience to the celestial world. The performance
of “Steppin’Out” was judged by Rev. Sr. Teresia,
Rev. Sr. Roopa and Jurist Ms. Smitha. The

“Darshan College Visits
Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt Ltd & Experiences the
Quality Revolution” “You
cannot create experience. You must undergo it.”
said the French Philosopher Albert Camus. In
line with the above Oliver Holmes affirmed “A
mind that is stretched by a new experience can
never go back to its old dimensions.” Having
these expressions in mind Darshan College
encouraged and organised an industrial visit to
the well-known “Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd.
and it’s quality revolution.” The students
discovered with their own eyes and had the
firsthand experience of innovative and creative
revolution of Toyota through interaction and
exposure to the working methods and employment
practices. The novelty of Toyota’s revolution
lies in Toyota Production System (TPS). To
understand this, the students were introduced to
the history of Toyota in India, then the
“Gurukul” where the new employees are inducted,
followed by Innovation Center, National Manpower
Excellence Center, 5.5 km Test Track, Parts
Distribution Center, and finally Completely
Build Unit which stores the manufactured motors.
Moreover, the students were touched by the
social responsibility of the company which
caters to the school dropout youth through
Toyota Technical Training Institute. The success
of Toyota lies in the DNA of TPS which upholds
the five pillars philosophy. They are: 1)
Challenge. 2) Kaizen (Continuous innovation). 3)
Genchi Genbutsu (Going back to the roots of the
problem). 4) Respect. 5) Teamwork. That’s the
secret of Toyata’s quality revolution!
St. Anthony’s PU
College celebrates “Senior’s Goodbye Day”.
“Goodbye my friend,...the love you gave me
through all years, will take away these tears” a
song sung by Linda Ronstadt, resounded the
campus all along the day. The “Farewell” to the
PU Seniors was a mixture of smiles & cries, fear
& tears. As another pursuit, another life-style,
another rhythm of life awaits them in future,
and that too saying goodbye to the “Alma
mater” and to it’s lovely faculty which
nurtured and nourished became a painful event.
However the PU Juniors with dance, music, games
and fun made this passage of life, “parting of
friends” a meaningful and joyous one. The
champions and winners were accorded with the
prizes, medals and certificates. The exemplary &
beloved Principal of the Seniors, Rev. Fr.
Roshan Rosario, bidding them goodbye, blessed
them with valuable and motivational insights:
“May you shine like stars, dream the impossible,
reach the unreachable, be true to the glorious
quest...”! To keep the memory of the “Alma
mater” mementos were given, and as a response
the outgoing Seniors sang the song of
thankfulness “How shall we thank you enough”!
For the first time in the history of the
College, the sentiments of gratitude overflowed
from the Seniors by donating a Computer to the
College! Bravo, be the heralds to the world!

inspired them to go beyond the borders,
religions, faiths and cultures. As the Star of
Bethlehem lead the quest of the three Kings of
the Orient, finding the true light in the newly
born babe Jesus of Nazareth, so also the
openness to fraternity and solidarity made the
Anthonians to walk together as children of God
embracing the whole humanity. This spirit of one
family reined the celebration as they sang,
danced, enacted and portrayed the multi-lingual
and multi-cultural Christmas celebration. The
Chief Guest V. Rev. Fr. Jerome, the newly
elected Prior of Benedictine Monastery,
Ashirvanam, shared a fitting message where the
Birth of Jesus is the culmination of the mystery
of visibility, the Immanuel: God-with-us. He
said our lives are meaningful only when we live
this mystery fully by loving and embracing the
humanity and creation as God’s precious gift.
What we receive, may we share with one another
for the Glory of God and for the peace on earth
in the coming days and the year 2016!

blood and give life. For this clarion call,
which costs nothing, the Director, the

donation bring in life in fullness.

Matha” Mother India. The College students paid

of honey in the Rock: As

on….breaking and going deeper into
the heart of the rock continues. If
not the honey at least may we clear
the rock from the campus and may we
have the space and place for the
future ventures of the Institution.
Why not a good Science, Commerce and
Management Block as the existing
building is saturated with the
increase in the number of students
and with the latest permissions for
Extra sections in the PUC with
Computer Science and Statistics
combinations. Of course a better
cradle for the new born babe that’s
“BCA” Bachelor of Computer
Applications at Darshan College. May
all dreams come true and God bless
our Institution.
