<p>The investiture ceremony of the newly-elected student union of the Mount Carmel Pre-University College, for this academic year, was held recently.<br /><br /> The ceremony was the grand finale to the election fortnight, where the <br />students were allowed to campaign for a week during which the campus wore a colourful look. <br /><br />The ceremony was a sombre affair and the chief guest for the occasion was Sonia Narang, DCP, Bangalore South. <br /><br />The newly-elected members of the student union are: Chinmayi Muthyala as the president, Vriti Mehta as the vice-president, Namratha Chandrashekar as the cultural secretary, Rashmitha Ratnakar as the assistant cultural secretary, Adreienne Isabel as the general secretary and Disha Bhagawat as the co-opted member. <br /><br />The programme began on a solemn note with a prayer. This was followed by a formal oath-taking ceremony by the members of the union. <br /><br />Addressing the students, Sonia Narang spoke about the many opportunities <br />available to the students, if they are willing to go an extra mile and shed prejudices and stereotypes. <br /><br />The student union members of the previous academic year raised a <br />toast to the newly-inducted union and impressed upon them the need to work in <br />tandem with the management.<br /><br />The presentation of the agenda by the new union struck a good balance <br />between academics and extracurricular activities. <br /><br />“We hope to work towards building friendly relations among all the Carmelites. We are looking forward to a fun-filled year,” said Chinmayi Muthyala. <br />Adreienne Isabel couldn’t contain her excitement when she said, “I am happy that my fellow Carmelites have so much faith in me. I will work towards upholding the name of the college and inspire my college mates to do the same.” </p>.<p> <br />The cultural events were a treat in themselves and were the most-awaited part of the ceremony. </p>.<p><br />A cultural ensemble by the Indian Dance Association, <br />Indian Music Association, Western Dance Association and the Western Music <br />Association had those in the audience hooting, whistling and cheering. <br /></p>
