Don Bosco College, Panjim held its Investiture Ceremony
for the academic year 2019-20. This is the first ever ‘Election Based’ student
council of the college. The General Secretary (GS) elected for this year is
Chic Da Cruz from BBA T&T (Travel and Tourism) while ‘Meteora’ (Annual
intercollegiate event hosted by Don Bosco College) Chairman is Ethan
Mascarenhas from BBA department.
The Chief Guest for the day was Sulakshana Pramod Sawant, President of the BJP Mahila Morcha, Goa, along with
the Goa State Women’s Self-Help Group Association. In addition to these
feathers in her cap, she has also been the Director of the Jan Vikas Co-op
Society, a member of the Board of Studies for Chemistry and the President of
the Chemistry Teacher’s Association. Being a leader herself, she stood an ideal
personality for the occasion.
Sawant narrated an anecdote, where she questioned the
audience on who wanted to know their future. Through this she stated a lesson
of making a right ‘Choice’ in one’s life between the journey of ‘Birth and
Death.’ She said, “Instead of trying to ‘prove’, learn to ‘improve’. Instead of
simply reacting, try to respond.”
This was then followed by release of the college
Newsletter ‘Bosco Beats’, with Vibhav Naik briefing the audience on the same.
Then the installation of badges was then conducted, where
the Class Representatives (CRs) and elected council leaders of different
committees were honored with the badges by the respected dignitaries and the
chief guest. This was followed by giving the leadership oath to the council
members.
