The South Shala Hale Vidyarthi Sangha (R) marked a significant digital milestone today with the official launch of its newly designed website. The portal was inaugurated by H.H. Sri Vishwavallabha Teertha Swamiji, the Pontiff of Sode Mutt and Honorary President of the Association, during a ceremony held at the Nalanda Hall of the school.

Addressing the gathering, H.H. Sri Vishwavallabha Teertha Swamiji reflected on the profound impact of early education, noting that a school provides not just textbook knowledge but essential life lessons.

"It is the moral duty of every former student to support and uplift their alma mater," Swamiji stated.

He emphasized that the collective strength of the alumni is vital for the school’s continued growth and wished the Association great success in its future digital and social endeavour’s.

Sri Ashok Kamath, DDPI (Development) and former Headmaster of the school, shared insights into the school’s evolution. He highlighted that the rising trend in admissions is a testament to the high quality of education provided by government schools. However, he reminded the audience that as the student body grows, so do the infrastructure requirements, urging the alumni to remain proactive in their support.

In a gesture of immediate support, a high-quality Ahuja Sound Mixer was donated to the school by alumnus Sri Adarsh. The equipment was formally handed over to the Primary and High School Headmistresses during the event, enhancing the school’s capability for hosting future educational and cultural programs.

The function was presided over by Sri Ganesh Shet. Other notable dignitaries present included:

Dr. Virupaksha (President, SDMC Primary)
Sri Ramesh Hegde (President, SDMC High School)
Smt. Kusuma (Headmistress, Primary) &
Smt. Poornima (Headmistress, High School)

The technical team from Udupi Web Solutions, including Srinidhi Acharya, Raviprasad, and Shashank—who were instrumental in the website's development—were also in attendance.

The event commenced with a warm welcome by Smt. Kusuma and concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Smt. Poornima. The entire ceremony was elegantly moderated by Sri Nagesh V. Prabhu.
