But I did not worry and accepted the challenge and worked hard. By Grace I brought nearly Rs. 3.0 million from various well-wishers and philanthropists namely Shri S.S. Goenka, Shri Vijay Agarawal, Shri S.B. Goenka, Ac. Yatiishvarananda Avadhuta, Shri Kirit Dave, etc. and made the College healthy. In spite of a few shortcomings it has become a reputed college of Karnataka State. Almost 60% of the students of the hostel have learned meditation. Daily collective evening meditation and weekly collective meditation are a part of their routine. The Polytechnic is materializing the dictum that “Ananda Marga is a man making mission”. At present its reputation is growing and students from all over the country are applying for admission.
