PrinciPal’s Message

Dear Colleagues, Students, Parents, Alumni and well wishers,

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year.

Here we are once again with the New Year’s first issue of the College News Letter! As usual,

it covers the curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities that were carried out

during the month of January 2022.

I sincerely hope that the New Year would usher us into a world free from the dreaded virus

and we all would be able resume our activities like in the pre-pandemic days. This pandemic

has certainly taught all of us certain important lessons. It has made us realize the importance

of proper physical exercise and diet to lead a healthy life. It has also taught us that

adaptability is an essential skill to navigate through difficult times. I hope that these lessons

will not be forgotten as the world limps back to normalcy in the near future.

With regards

Dr. B.Devika Rani
