Moodabidri: The Employment fair organised by Dr. M Mohan Alva in his campus at Moodabidri has ended on Monday evening, but not before 3,500 persons secured jobs and went home happily in 3 days of job-hunting, when several hundred qualified persons from all over Karnataka rushed to Moodabidri with documents to obtain jobs. Even on the last day on Monday, employment seekers came to the Vidyagiri campus in large numbers. This idea of free entry and opportunity to find employment given to students and graduates came in high praise from all quarters for Alva’s camp.

Alva’s Pragrathi (progressive) employment fair would be conducted every year, as the first such fair has brought me a lot of comfort and satisfaction in mind, Dr.Alva told a gathering of educationists and employers.
