Inaugural Address –
Dr C K Renukarya addressed the gathering in his inaugural speech of the program and apprised the gathering about the achievements of the institution. He was honored to declare that all 120 seats were taken and still 20 seats were on the waiting list at the moment; also expressed his gratitude to previous students for securing ranks in the university and uplifting the reputation of the institution, and, enthused the newly admitted students to work hard for keeping up with the previous bests of the institution. Very special mention from the speech can be attributed to his up-to-date trend analysis of the Digital era, “when everything was moving to virtual and digital form, education is the only segment that can never be fully digital, nevertheless, owing to Covid times, the education field too evolved and the newfound method is a Hybrid model of education.”

Address by Chief Guest –
Mr Harish Machaiah is an avid personality, literally sparked the entire gathering with his humor and humbly weighed values by his speech. Mr Harish being an Ex-Chairman, NIPM Mysuru Chapter, took the moment by the storm of his memories associated with the institution, and his contributions to uplifting the reputation of the institution. It was mesmerizing to listen to his talk and amazed by his grip over the very moment of the incidents happening, the gathering was well advised to think out of the box and find their limits for breaking those barriers. The gathering was well engaged throughout the speech and that explains the command and charm of Mr Harish Machaiah to hold the audience irrespective of their backgrounds or knowledge.

Mr Harish Machaiah specifically quotes about the importance of developing global perspectives and went on to correlate it with the culture and human values for emphasizing the importance of acquiring a global perspective.
He said, “what my school can’t do, my country can’t do, but what I can do, my country can do ”. The power-packed speech had various correlations and one which was the catchiest – Challenge in English and Chale’ngee in Hindi; which meant to face the risks and ambiguity head-on than staying back and missing out on probable good things arising out of some bold mistakes in one’s life.
“Readers are Leaders”, a very invoking quote of Mr Harish, immersed the gathering in the depth and vastness of knowledge, what lies beyond the curriculum. The main outline of his speech was to ignite the passion of learning and working hard across comfort zones among the gathering and he succeeded in it, the active reactions and responses of the gathering echoed the success of the speech and Mr Harish’s intentions. The redesigned alphabetical dictionary of Mr Harish was very invigorating and it shook the depths of gatherings’ knowledge and how fixated perception can be the shortcoming in times of unknown eventualities which arises in future. It is to be noted that, ‘every individual is unique and every perception varies’, but it is equally important for oneself to be flexible enough to adapt and accustom with the changing environments; if not the end will be inevitable and Mr Harish, vouched for the gathering to be vigilant, observant and extra sensitive towards the changes in surroundings. The response is more vital than reply and he emphasized that everyone should adopt the practice to develop good communication and interpersonal skills for a stable future.

Presidential Address –
Sri T Muralidhar Bhagavat, Honorable President, Mahajana Education Society, Mysuru; addressed the gathering and shared his visions of the institution and appreciated the efforts and dedication of the teaching and non-teaching staff for keeping the institution functioning smoothly. He expressed his gratitude for the ‘Bheeshma’ of the institution, ‘Dr C K Renukarya’ and stressed the intricacies of the management studies by quoting the speech of Mr Harish Machaiah and welcomed all the newly admitted students of MBA.
