The new academic year at Claret Niketan, Belagavi was inaugurated on 02 June 2018. Eight of the senior students began their II Year PUC classes at Divine Mercy College with a lot of zest and life. They were eager to draw inspiration from their senior batch of five who scored high grades in the board exams held in the month of March 2018. These five headed to Claretian Ashram, Wardha for their Philosophy studies. The new batch of I Year PUC students too got enrolled with enthusiasm and hope.

The new candidates started arriving right from the first week of June. Thus by the end of June a fresh batch of twenty four from diverse regions and cultures, are knitting together quite well. They display a lot of energy and enthusiasm. The new comers are eager to learn the prayers, begin to get to know the way and style of Claret Niketan. Though in the monsoon days mornings are chilly and gloomy, students demonstrate freshness and enthusiasm to tide over the negatives of the climate. They offer lot of hope to the congregation and seem eager to go the distance.
