"Hard work and commitment are essential for achieving success. Consistent effort plays a crucial role in a student’s life," said Smitesh Barya, director of the film Kanasu Maratakide, while addressing students at an orientation program at SDM Postgraduate Center on September 14. The program, organized by the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, also marked the launch of the Media Messenger Club.
Barya emphasized that creativity is the result of persistent effort. He encouraged students to set clear goals and work with determination to turn their dreams into reality, despite challenges they may face along the way.
The head of the department, Dr. Bhaskar Hegde, welcomed the new students and wished them success in the upcoming academic year. A book titled Hongirana, a collection of writings by second-year students, was also released during the event. Faculty members and students from the department were present at the occasion.
