Dear stakeholders, especially
the teachers, students and the parents greetings to all
of you, and I welcome you all to a brand new academic year
of this 2024-2025. The students have moved from one class
to another Class. Their learning abilities have matured
and changed from the different experiences of the last academic
year. This reminds me that the only word that remains constant
is “Change.”
Yoga developed into Poorna
Yoga in Sri. Aurobindo, similarly in Poojya Appaji, Dasoha
has spread widely in all the aspects of life in an institutional
form and developed into Mahadasoha. According to Dr. Sharnbaswappa
Appaji, Dasoha is extended to the field of education, it,
just being a mere means to livelihood, must be harnessed
to the service of man in the true spirit of Kayaka and Dasoha.
Dr. Sharnbaswappa Appaji institutionalizes the Dasoha Philosophy
in the vision of the Sangha that endeavors to attain excellence
in service as reflected in these words. “No Religion
is greater than service and service to humanity is service
to God”. Here education is offered to the students,
to overcome many challenges. Students are made to think
Independently, Write Independently, Speak Independently,
Live Independently to face the challenges in the life to
serve, not only his family, but also the whole Nation –
Mankind. Appaji opines that culture gives while vulture
snatches. Thus culture is humane and vulture is barbarous.
Now, I recall my memory
lane of substantial contribution made by my grandfather
Poojya Sri Doddappa Appaji to this Doddappa Appa College
of Education Basavakalyan and how it has been fostered by
Poojya Dr.Appaji, the present President and the 8th Mahadasoha
Peethadhipathi, over the years. Today students, alumni,
teachers, administration and all the people who have been
a part of this college in any capacity past and present
– bear witness to the meteoric growth of this college.
It is a dream come true that the college has celebrated
its Sliver Jubilee, indeed a great milestone in the annals
of the history of this college. We have been making sincere
efforts to make it a centre of excellence and have constantly
endeavored to translate this dream into a reality.
The Doddappa Appa College
of Education, which addresses all kinds of needs of students
to equip them with better skills, the NSS units, the Sports
Department, and all the departments of the college with
excellent facilities of labs and well furnished class rooms,
coupled with the excellent services of the library are doing
an excellent job in molding and building the all-round development
of students. All other Committees and Cells of the college
take care of students emotional, social, and personal and
also their other pressing needs.
I give a call to all of
you that we have to equip ourselves to be a way ahead in
this 21st century.. Let us together realize the goals set
by Dr.Appaji and accomplish the vision and mission statements
given by Appaji and make our college truly a center of excellence.
I welcome you all again to this academic year and wish you
a profound good luck.
Thank
you for choosing our college. Welcome on a journey of
learning.
All the very best and God bless you all.
