Be fit as fiddle to achieve great things in life, students told

Tirupati: An individual can avoid visiting hospitals if he maintains physical fitness, said Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University (SVVU) Vice-Chancellor Y Haribabu. Participating in the valedictory of the ninth state-level inter-collegiate sports and cultural meet here on Thursday, the V-C urged the students to maintain physical fitness for achieving greater things in life.

Tollywood playback singer Sunitha has appreciated the services rendered by veterinary students to cattle at a young age. She made an appeal to improve professional skills at the time of studying the veterinary course. Otherwise, students cannot achieve their goals without acquiring professional skills, she added. She called upon the girl students to aspire for higher goals in their lives.

Later, the V-C, Sunitha, Dean (Students Affairs) Sarjan Rao and other varsity officials have presented the mementos and medals to the winners of the state-level sports and cultural meet. Associate Dean Eshwara Prasad, Physical Director Jayachandra and several students were present on the occasion.
