Mangalore:The Department of Business Management, St. Aloysius College (Autonomous) in association with Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry, conducted a national level, one day seminar on “Human Resource as a Strategic Business Partner” at Eric Mathias Hall.

Ms Mamatha, the Dean of the Department of Business Management welcomed the gathering of nearly 400 people. The Chief Guest for the event was Mr Mohandas Prabhu, former President of the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The other dignitaries included the rector of the St. Aloysius Institutes Rev Fr Denzil Lobo, the Principal of St. Aloysius College (Autonomous) Rev Fr Swebert D’silva, the Registrar for St Aloysius College Mr. A.M. Narahari and the staff coordinators Mr. Chethan Shettigar, Ms Arathi Sharma and Ms Coral Barboza. Students from fifteen colleges were in attendance at the program.

The main objective of the seminar was put forward by Mr. Shettigar who insisted the relevance of the topic in today’s global context. Mr Prabhu in his address, called Human Resource ‘a redefined version of work force’.He also recalled the prime example of strategic partnership in rural areas as being the Beedi business that often involves the entire family. Special mention was made of the entrepreneurship qualities of late Mr. T.M.A. Pai who was responsible for the establishment of the Syndicate Bank and the popular Pigmy Deposit Scheme.

Another underlying issue that was highlighted was the “heart for social causes” that Mr Prabhu finds lacking in the present industrial scenario. He also brought to light the monopoly of International Multi Retail Brands over the Indian market and it’s effect on farmers.

However his address ended on a light note with an invitation to the students of St. Aloysius College to visit the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry in an attempt to gain exposure by interacting with practicing professionals in specific lines of work.

Rev Fr Swebert D’silva, the principal of St. Aloysius College (Autonomous), emphasized the importance of priorities when dealing with business issues. Also, he asserted that well equipped, satisfied and well motivated employees are the main factors in determining efficiency of human resource.

He also stressed Business ethics being another necessity for long term success. Rev Fr Denzil Lobo brought forth the essence of creativity in Industry in his presidential address. He pointed out the role of change in the development of technology. “Illiterates are those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn”, he affirmed.

The Vote of Thanks was delivered by Ms Coral Barboza,Mr. Manoj Fernandes was the master of ceremony for the inaugural event.
