Mangalore, Jun 2: "Today, the trend among students to prefer commerce, science and management courses to humanities has led to a serious concern. Some courses are labeled as ‘professional’, a term which suggests, rather curiously, that BSc and BA courses are ‘unprofessional’. It is this divide between science, engineering, medicine and the humanities which must be bridged in India today," said Prof P Balaram, director of Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

He was addressing the graduation day ceremony at St Aloysius College (autonomous) here on Saturday June 2.

"The winds of change have long swept over the frontiers of science and engineering, destroying walls and eliminating boundaries. In the new world of research, success may require a facility to easily bridge the gaps between disciplines," he explained.

Rank holders of various streams were honoured with medals and cash prizes on the occasion.
 
Fr Joseph Rodrigues, rector, St Aloysius Institutions, administered the oath to the students. Addressing the gathering, he said that one must dream and plan about the future and not live in the past. He urged the students to persevere in whatever task they take up and never lose heart.
 
Fr Francis Serrao, Provincial, Karnataka Jesuit Province, Fr Swebert D’Silva, principal, St Aloysius College, A M Narahari, registrar of the College, were among the dignitaries present on the occasion.

    Science and Technology gave birth from the time the United States of America focused their attention towards Industrialization from the era of Agriculture during the latter part of 18th century. A new era of idealism came into existence thru innovational spirit of "forward looking" attitude. The world has eversince looked forward with a dynamism of new thought of creativity.

    As the population increased and as a neocolonial era emerged, more and more brains became the gift of this planet to group together and make many more dreams sprout into possibilities and realities.

    Today we are in the proud era of Satellites and Internet with a broad focus of interpersonal communication. Today we are in a world intertwined with ideas for human progress, progress in health sciences, progress in varied technological innovations in industrial research and advancements.

    Each and every new human accomplishment is directed towards Economic growth and prosperity. Its all Economy with opportunity for jobs and career goals.

    Each and every advancement is equated towards better Management of human resources in pursuit of achieving a better standard of life of every human being on this God gifted planet. We are more than seven billion of them striving for our daily surival.

    Geraduation of every student of every discipline is therefore a a polite reminder to each and everyone of us to appreciate the value of Education that will contribute for the progress and prosperity of mankind.

    Thank you, St. Aloysius for your continued efforts that will uplift thousands of students year after year to rise to the occasion of being the best intellectual citizens of the world of knowledge.
