Commending the impressive performance by the students of Sharanbasaveshwara Residential Composite PU College every academic year, Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil attributed the success to the commitment and foresight of the president of the Sharnbasveshwar Vidya Vardhak Sangha Poojya Dr. Sharnbasvappa Appaji.

“The students should be honest, humble and hardworking to achieve success as there is no short cut to success. They must, besides scoring high marks in exams, also excel in their lives by their exemplary demeanour. The students of Kalyan Karnataka have the additional benefit of the reservation due to the Special Status accorded to the region under Article 371(J) of the Constitution. This can help a number of students be successful in their education and career,” he said.
