Kohima, March 9 (MExN): The Don Bosco College Kohima (DBCK) organised a ‘Gratitude Day’ for the outing students of 2015 batch on March 9 in the college premises. This is the first batch of students passing out from the college.
The principal, Fr. Dr. Suresh Innocent, in his welcome address stressed on the values that the college has imparted to the students and exhorted them to carry the moral and spiritual values throughout their lives. As a gesture of goodwill to the outgoing students, he took a ‘bow’ to honour them and their time at the college, according to a press release.
Meanwhile, the speaker of the programme, Fr. CM Joseph (Rector) reminded the outgoing students that they are “unique” and “unrepeatable” which should propel them to give performances of the highest calibre wherever they may go. He urged them to be “givers” and contribute to the betterment of society.
Speeches were also given by Dr. Velhou Koza on behalf of the staff and Vesulu Rhakho on behalf of the outgoing batch. Awards for Best Bosconian were given to students from the different departments as well as to the teaching staff and non-teaching staff.
The highlight of the programme was a special candle ceremony, where the 137 outgoing students lighted individual candles symbolizing their light that they would take with them as they pass out from the college. The ceremony was accompanied by a choir which sang “Carry your candle”. The students also received blessings from Fr. CM Joseph and Fr. Alex (Vice-Rector).
Earlier, Special numbers were performed by Kumgha and Thejasenuo, Wokharo Kithan and Nesy Rathu.
