In his concluding remarks, Fr. Jose Podimattam, Principal of DBTI, stated, "As we celebrate the diamond jubilee of our institute, we honor the milestones that have shaped our journey thus far. Yet, we recognize that this is not the summit. The laurels of our past achievements inspire us, but they do not define us. With greater heights to conquer and new horizons to explore, our journey continues with renewed purpose and determination."
