Mangaluru, Aug 16, 2025: Expert PU College, Kodialbail, was abuzz with patriotic fervour as it celebrated India’s 79th Independence Day on campus. The chief guest, Ms. Geetha Kulkarni, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mangalore City Crime Branch, ceremoniously unfurled the National Flag before addressing the gathering.
