Garden City College chariman V G Joseph, who spoke after the prize distribution, said, “Those who did not win prizes should not be disappointed. Don’t forget, everyone has their own strengths and capacities. We are the most unique species in the world, but many have not been able to identify their own capacities. Age is just a number, so make honest efforts to achieve success in your life. There are ample opportunities. You should be determined to achieve your goals, but that should not harm others. Children are the wealth of this nation and we need to give good education and guidance to shaping their future”.

Actress Sonal Monteiro said, “Public TV has taken up a good initiative by organising such an expo. I think this is the first-ever post-graduation education expo organised in Bengaluru. Today’s generation needs career guidance to secure their future. At their age, students are usually unsure of which course to choose and this expo has given them a good platform. Over 36 post-graduation institutions participated in the expo. Students have got all the necessary career-building information under one roof”.

Actress Sonal Monteiro appreciated the initiative and said it has helped students with making career choices.

Actor Zyed Khan said, “The education expo conducted by Public TV was a great platform for the students to know about pursuing the right courses for them. I was also in a confused status during by my college days. The expo has helped many poor students”. As a parting shot, he said, “Speak Kannada and save Kannada”.

Actor Zayed Khan too hailed the initiative.
