Suttur, January 15, 2025: “We can find success in our lives only through constant efforts and proper preparation.

Suresh, Regional Commissioner, Mysuru Division, at the valedictory function of the cultural and sports meet held at JSS PU College, Ooty Road, Mysuru.

If you involve yourself in sports activities from a young age and develop a healthy mind and body, you can definitely achieve success in the future. You should not stop trying under any circumstances,” he advised.
In his address, the Chief Guest of the program, Prof. B.V.
