Dakshina Kannada district in-charge Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Friday, August 1, said education and employment have the potential to transform society.<\/p>\n

He was speaking after inaugurating the 15th edition of Alva\u2019s Pragati, the two-day mega placement drive, organised by Alva\u2019s Education Foundation in Moodbidri.<\/p>\n

The Minister underscored the importance of aligning education with meaningful employment. \u201cEducation not only equips individuals for employment but also empowers them personally and professionally to pursue their aspirations. Those who are gainfully employed and establish their identity contribute positively to society. When talent remains untapped, it becomes a burden on society. We must intensify our efforts to address the issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Praising Alva\u2019s Education Foundation for its consistent efforts in organising such initiatives, the Minister said the institution\u2019s commitment to societal progress beyond commercial interests is both commendable and inspiring. \u201cAlva\u2019s Pragati is not just a placement platform; it is a vision for a structured, inclusive, and opportunity-driven workforce,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mangalore University Vice-Chancellor P.L. Dharma said job roles are constantly evolving to match changing times. \u201cThere is a significant difference between seeking candidates and offering a job. While aspirants wait for opportunities, the fact that recruiters are now actively seeking capable candidates marks true progress,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Former Minister B. Ramanath Rai launched a new AI-based application developed to support job-seekers attending the fair, helping match candidates with suitable job roles to their qualifications.<\/p>\n

Fortune Group of Hotels chairman Vakwady Praveen Kumar Shetty, Expertise Company COO K.S. Sheikh Karnire, Big Bags International\u2019s managing director Ravish Kamath, Rohan Corporation founder Rohan Monteiro and Niveus Solutions CEO Suyog Shetty, all from the coastal region who created a global industrial sector and provided employment to thousands of people, were felicitated on the occasion.<\/p>\n

Umanath Kotian, Moodbidri for MLA, Foundation chairman M. Mohan Alva, Boje Gowda, MLC, Nalin Kumar Kateel, former MP, K. Abhayachandra Jain, former Minister and others were present.<\/p>\n

Alva\u2019s Pragati saw 11,509 online registrations and 2,307 on-the-spot registrations. With 285 companies participating in the placement drive, 12,732 candidates visited the venue on the opening day.<\/p>\n
