Mr. Prithvisagar, of I M.Sc. welcomed the gathering and the coordinator of the centre Dr. Anirban Chakraborty read the annual report. In their addresses, the chief guest Prof. Puranik, and the guest of honor Dr. Karunasagar emphasized on the importance of research in daily life and cited examples of age-old traditional practices in rural India, which are based on scientific evidence and not on superstitious beliefs. In his Presidential address, Shri Vishal Hegde highlighted the uniqueness of NUCSER as being the only institute out of the 38 under Nitte University, which started off as a research centre and then added the teaching program under its ambit. He urged the students to take advantage of the opportunity of being taught by researchers and not by traditional teachers and praised the monumental development that has happened in this centre in such a short span of time. Ms. Charmi Ghetia proposed the vote of thanks. On this occasion, the first issue of the college magazine titled “ANNVESHAN” was released by the esteemed guests.
