Today, we were invited to a Farewell Function organized by the Management of Sir M Visweshwariah PU College at Airport Road for the students of Standard X who will passing out.The Secretary and Asst Sec of the Management were present along with all the teachers and about 130 out of the 180 students of the class.

The exams are scheduled from 31.3 to 5.4.08 for SSLC.

On this occasion, since Manish & Deepak were pre occupied, I invited Dy Director of Vocational Education Mr Ramachandra to come and introduce the Modular Employable Scheme initiated by the Government of India.

Speaking on the occasion he urged the students to put up their best in the remaining 15 days and make them selves and their parents proud by their performance which has been encouraged by the Rotary Indiranagar for the last 14 weeks. He expressed great satisfaction that such a novel scheme has been functioning at this school for the last 2 years and both the past Vice Principal and the current vice principals were praise for the self less dedication of Rotarians in helping these students.

Further, he explained how the GOI has presented this scheme and only those who attended classes regularly, could easily pass in the exams which are mainly practical, with 20% theory and 10% for the personality and presentation. They will be awarded Certificates for each course they study and will also get a refund of the Fees and Assessment fees paid.

The students were thrilled and welcomed the scheme and at least 50% of those present have shown interest to enroll before the 10the April 2008 because they know that they will be learning a skill during the holidays for Free. and have to spend only for traveling.

Mr K M Mallappa Reddy, Sec and Mr Appai Reddy, Jt Sec were all praises for the Rotary for their valuable assistance to the student community of their college. Photos will be coming shortly.

On 14-3-2008 Mr Nagaraj Murthy from the NCVT visited the MRI VTI and gave a briefing to the faculty members and cleared their doubts aout the assessment procedures.
