Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. Once you become a leader, it is all about growing together.
I, Anush Mangal, am honoured to have been elected as the Prime Minister of the Student’s Parliament of St. Peter’s College
for the academic session 2019-20; I am extremely delighted to be honored with the most coveted designation of St. Peter's College.
I extend my sincere thanks to Rev. Fr. Paul Thannickal, Rev. Fr. Andrew Corriea, Rev. Fr Lawrence Raja and my honoured teachers for

Along with my council, I proudly claim that what we are today is because of our parents and our school. We hope to grow greater
heights and carry on the legacy of the school forever and ever. To achieve this dream of ours, we must work unitedly, independently,
with loyalty and with cooperation. This is what our Alma Mater teaches us and expects us to do. Come all of us, you and I make the school

“Success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.”
I, Kalptaru Agarwal, am honoured to have been elected as the Prime Minister of the Student’s Parliament of St. Peter’s College for the academic session 2018-19. The post of being the ‘first among the equals’ is a dream post for most of the students of the college and to have been entrusted with it, is a moment of delight for me. It has been due to the support of my Alma Mater which has developed my personality throughout these consecutive 11 years.
St. Peter’s College moulds the personality of every student in a way that the students of this institution does not only possess the qualities of discipline, respect and generosity but also the feeling of love, compassion and togetherness. The staff and management has been ever supportive and their consideration towards the students is commendable. I would state the lines of former President of Afghanistan, his Excellency Hamid Karzai who paid a visit to St. Peters a few months back, he said, “If I ever got a chance for my son to study in India, I would love and wish to send him to St. Peter’s College.”
The college has taught us the motto of PALMA NON SINE PULVERE, i.e., no reward without labour. It has enriched our lives with the purpose of dedication and hard-work. We must not believe on the concept of our destiny as our Destiny works on the basis of our efforts which solely depends on us. Always remember to work in the present towards your goal and not for future oriented results which are improbable- “Let’s make our FUTURE now and our DREAMS tomorrow’s Reality.”
Keeping an optimistic approach has been a key fundamental of my life. Have a positive outlook in your life and look out for positive future aspects in any situation. Like it is said:“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
Follow the strategy of DECISION and DEDICATION. When you plan for something, try taking a correct decision and to be successful, show the dedication towards your decision. And you will always be enriched with delight of success.
Your uniqueness is the thing which makes you different from other. Don’t be a part of the crowd and that is what we are taught at St. Peter’s to stand out differently from the others. Be the first of your version to do a specific kind of thing. Following the above basis would work only and only if you work on your inner soul. Keep yourselves strong in this world as you must have heard, “To earn a reputation, it take years but to lose it, a second is enough.” Focus on your goals, be extraordinary and never get swayed away by any means.
Becoming the Prime Minister gives me a great deal of responsibility rather than authority over anyone. I want to convey that we all have an equal share in the society to contribute. We must give ourselves to this nation and to this planet. Our deeds should be for Mother Earth and our nation with selfless attitude.
I solemnly resolve that with the support of the management, staff, students and the elected
Parliament of the collegecombined with my skills and aptitude, we will endeavour to take
our magnificent institution to new glorious heights.
Thanking You,
Kalptaru Agarwal

“A good leader is the one who not only creates a spark but also fires the hearts of the ones around here”.
I have been entrusted with one of the most prestigious and honorable posts that a Peterian could wish for. But, being the Prime Minister of St. Peter’s does not make me better than the rest of my school mates. In-fact it does not give me authority over anyone at all having this post endows upon me a great deal of responsibility instead of authority.
Anyone who upholds the name of this esteemed institution by his actions deserves to be a leader. It’s easy to make targets but rather arduous to achieve them. Many of us soon sway from our paths before getting success and that is what makes us weak. No road to success is ever easy but once we stop deterring from our ways then the journey would surely be brief.
“The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do”. This quote is probable applicable to all. What should be remembered is that people only try and pull you down when they know are they incapable of reaching those heights. So whenever you are being held back then consider yourself to be on the right track.
My message to all would be to adopt virtues from competent men, while letting your own aspiration and dreams to be compact. Each personality is different and no-one should be ashamed of his individuality. “You won’t be great if you want to be, you will be so when you follow your dreams”.
Thanking you

"Success is not a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire."
Today, I've been honoured with the post dreamt by many. Is this success? Partly, yes. Success can never be final. It is the courage to continue. If your dream has come true, sleep and dream more but never fix your goals. Just continue......
The most important thing is to give your best in every situation. There will be times when your best isn't enough, but as long as you are giving your best, you'll have a triumphant smile on your face. In the end it’s the smile that counts.
St. Peters has moulded my character and taught me that one should accept failure; everyone fails at something, but never accept "NOT TRYING".
It all depends on second letter of the word SUCCESS. Just be yourself. Never lose your own identity in the race of becoming someone. If Asked I don't want to be the. Next Bill Gates, I want to be the first Pranav Ashra.
In these 11 years, this college has given me the secret ingredient of how to be aside from the 'Anyone' crowd and be 'Someone' in life. Though it is a secret I'll tell you. It is - be Yeasty, be Obedient, be Unaltered. In short just be YOU.
Thanking you
