does this work? give a try. NOT TESTED

Code:

function index($msg = '') {
     $data['msg'] = $msg;

    $this->load->view('view_file', $data);
}

function submit_form() {
  // do validations and testings...
  // if success
      $this->index('Changes saved');
  // if not
     $this->index('Some error');
}

I think you will want something like flashdata notifications.

Flashdata is a method of sending info from page to page upon redirect.
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...sions.html

Using CI's session library:

CodeIgniter supports "flashdata", or session data that will only be available for the next server request, and are then automatically cleared. These can be very useful, and are typically used for informational or status messages (for example: "record 2 deleted").

Note: Flash variables are prefaced with "flash_" so avoid this prefix in your own session names.

To add flashdata:

$this->session->set_flashdata('item', 'value');
You can also pass an array to set_flashdata(), in the same manner as set_userdata().

To read a flashdata variable:
$this->session->flashdata('item');
