Blood Donation
On November 1st, both first and second year students from Karnataka celebrated Karnataka Rajyotsava by hoisting the Kannada Flag, singing ‘Naadageethe’. The event became meaningful with the ‘Blood Donation camp’ organized by the students. Over 70 students donated blood.

As a part of Karnataka Rajyotsava celebrations, the students served the guests and faculty with typical Karnataka food in the College premises on November 24, 2012.

Students from 20 states put their heart and soul in organizing cultural programs which projected Karnataka culture and tradition. They danced to the tunes of some of the best Kannada film songs. Highlight of the event was that even students from other states danced to the tunes of Kannada songs. Special programs for the non-Karnataka students like quiz competition about Karnataka, singing of Kannada songs, and speaking in Kannada were organized.
