Looking Back with Pride - Chairman’s Message

Each individual is blessed with certain heavenly gifts. Among the many gifts that God has blessed me with, I consider my Mentor to be extremely special. It is my fortune to have been blessed with such a valuable mentor.
It was his poem “Mother…Mother…” that deeply touched my heart. Deeply impressed by this touching poem, I decided to pay a tribute to my master in a fitting manner.
This is a shrine of education where values are created and worshipped. At the end of the short tenure of three years they stay with us, our students march out to the greater world, not only with academic proficiency to start their career but with more confidence to face the world and encounter any difficulties that come their way. They cross the portals of our college with all the high values that would soon project them as able leaders and international citizens who would strive for global peace.
I turn back to see the path we have travelled to reach this point – many hurdles have been crossed, much hardships have been borne. Hunter …..And the support of the parents who have entrusted their wards to us with good faith that we would transform them into good human beings. And we have miles to go…

Through this message, I salute every one of our benefactors with gratitude and seek a continuance of their patronage.

Dr. Sethu Kumanan | Chairman
