GANESHOTSAVA & Combined Hostel Day-2010
        The Mega event of the year GANESHOTSAVA-2010, was a Grand success. This commenced on 11 to 13 Sept 2010. This has been a pristine tradition in our hostel to celebrate GANESHOTSAVA every year. This Grand function included various activities like sports, cultural programmes, welcoming the freshers and felicitation to the delegates. Main attraction in this season was Combined Hostel Day of both UG-men and UG-Women Hostels, which was loaded with colourful informal games, cultural programmes and a happy get together. This is the first time after a gap 18-20 years, that such a united student programme is been conducted.

      All these works and activities would have not been possible without the support and guidance of our dear Warden Dr C Rajan and Assistant Warden Dr M M Basavaraj. We extend our special thanks to Director and Dean Dr D Venkatesha, Principal Dr P S Kaladagi, and Student welfare officer Dr C Rajan for their support and guidance to solve the problem faced by students and Hostel boarders.

     Finally I would like to thank each and every student, Hostel committee members and Hostel Office staff for their unconditional support extended to me during my tenure as Hostel General Secratary.
