Mangalore, September 11: Prestigious Nitte University Chancellor Vinay Hegde and former Vicar General of Mangalore Diocese Monsignor Fr Fred Pereira were on Saturday conferred with 'Outstanding Leadership Award' in education and communication for the year 2010-2011.

Accepting the honour at AIMIT campus of St Aloysius College, Beeri near here, Mr Hegde said he was a proud to be the son of Justice KS Hegde and an Aloysian.

Praising the Jesuit priests' sacrifices for the people, he said Aloysius College has always been his role model. “It allowed him to maintain individuality, be a proud Hindu and understand the meaning of Christianity,” he said.

The family members of Fr. Pereira received his award on his behalf.

Urmila Shetty, divisional governor, spoke on “What's Leadership?” Fr Valerian D'Souza narrated the life of late Fr Pereira. Bharathi Shevgoor, area governor, spoke on “What's Communication?” and said that modern technical developments have adversely affected the actual quintessence of communication. Joe Gonsalves narrated the life of Vinay Hegde.

On the occasion a scholarship of Rs 25,000 each was awarded to two candidates—Rajesh Martin Pais of St Joseph's Engineering College, and Ms Mehanaze of NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte.

The theme of the entire event was "Dedication to Community"
