FROM PRINCIPAL’S DESK

Dr. Mrs. S. Samuel, M.A, M.Ed, M.Phil., Ph.D.

A lot is happening in the educational scenario. ‘Right to Education’ bill is passed in the parliament. Now education has become a fundamental right. Whilst this happens in the home front side by side another big event is on the anvil- the introduction of a bill for the entry of foreign educational institutions to impart education in our homeland. This provides a clarion call for the sweeping changes that has to come very shortly. To equip the students to face this change is a big challenge. Keeping this perspective we framed a curriculum, which is diversified, innovative and unique of its own. ‘Beyond Excellence’ is our motto.

A highly qualified committed management well experienced qualified staff and dedicated non-teaching staffs are an attraction of our institution. I take this opportunity to thank management, teaching and non-teaching staff for their constant support and co-operation in making this institution well known in imparting quality education programme.
