Dr. S.C. Yatheeshwar, the Principal of the college, presided over the event and addressed the gathering. He mentioned that India faces many challenges, and one of the biggest issues is unemployment. Many young people are willing and capable of working, but job opportunities are scarce. The government should focus on providing employment opportunities for unemployed youth. He urged the students to take advantage of the unemployment eradication programs initiated by the government and become economically self-sufficient.

Additionally, he advised students to prepare for competitive exams to secure positions such as IAS, KAS, PDO, Village Accountant, Teacher, and Lecturer. He emphasized the importance of continuous practice, interest in studies, regular revision, and developing time management skills before taking these competitive exams.
Dr. P. Manjula, Convener of the Arts Association and Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, delivered the introductory remarks. She expressed that the government has initiated several programs to promote self-employment and is providing training facilities, loan assistance, and grants under various training centers. She encouraged the students to take advantage of these facilities and consider self-employment opportunities.
