Dimapur, September 19 (MExN): The Art and Literary Club of Salesian College of Higher Education (SCHE) organized its Foundation Day on September 19 at Bernick’s auditorium. Eric Gilbert Jose, Senior Commandant, CRPF, Khatkhati, Assam graced the occasion as chief guest.
Fr. Dr. Policarp Xalxo, Principal of SCHE welcomed the chief guest and encouraged the students to creatively pursue their intellectual knowledge in writing and art.
Speaking to the students and faculty, Eric said, “College is the best time of your life.” He exhorted all the students to enjoy it and learn as many things as possible, according to a press release. “Education is required but are we getting education?” he further wondered. “We require not only bookish knowledge but also practical knowledge like basic first aids and the domestic maintenance which are necessary for one’s comfortable existence.”
During the brief interaction with the students, he stressed on the importance of intellectual humility that calls for sincere acknowledgement of one’s ignorance. He admitted that humility has led him to learn many other things from people from all walks of life and situations. He invited the budding leaders of the society to celebrate the differences and promote respect and love for all.
The programme also witnessed a declamation, a poem recitation, and a song. Besides, the display of posters and art pieces crafted and painted by the Art and Literary Club added much colour and meaning to the celebration, the release said.
