He requested the students not to be scared of failure but to venture out and make the best use their talents.

Doulo urged upon the students to keep on learning new things and live their life with dignity and pride.

“The great achievers are humble, they have determination, they are committed and responsible,” he said.

He urged the students to be committed and give their best and be an asset to the society.
