embarking on a new arena - bharata mata...

As the curtain falls down for the academic year 2017-18, Bharata Mata College says adieu to six veteran teachers who have reached the final edge of their professional life. Dr. Aype Thomas P and Mr. Prince J. Josevilla, Dept. of Physics, Dr. Lissy Jacob and Dr. Thomas Joseph, Dept of Mathematics, Dr. Laly Mathew, Dept. of English and Dr. Kochurani Thomas, Dept. of Economics have always played a key role in elevating Bharata Mata college to greater academic heights. Their scholarly subject knowledge and brilliantly articulate lectures have remarkably enriched the students. As teachers, they never limited their service to the prescribed boundaries of the syllabi. For them, to educate means to draw out the best in each student. Their career which spans around three decades was a relentless struggle to mould their students into promising citizens of the world. Apart from their classes the students imbibed from them qualities of love, sympathy, kindness, forgiveness and many other fascinating lessons of life. These six teachers with their profound dedication towards their profession and love towards students, have become guardian angels of their students.

Along with their sincerity as good teachers, they have always been truly devoted to Bharata Mata College. Each of their ventures has been to propel the college according to the changing academic currents. With profound dynamism they enthusiastically

coordinated various curricular and co-curricular activities of the college. Dr. Aype Thomas P and Dr. Laly Mathew as the principal and the vice-principal of the college deployed the best of their abilities to ensure qualitative education, targeting on holistic development of each students. Dr. Kochurani Thomas, amidst the busy schedule of the classes always found time to reach out to the society. Her selfless service extensively motivated the students to always extend their helping hands to the needy section of society. Dr. Lissy Jacob, Dr. Thomas Joseph and Mr. Prince J. Josevilla profoundly took care to channelize the students to proper life instilling in them social and cultural values.

Bharata Mata College bows down before these six gems whose versatility has played a significant part in its progress and development. As a token of love and gratitude towards their meritorious service, the college gave them a grand farewell on 22 March 2018. The programme was a loving get together of the teachers, the non-teaching staff and the retired staff of the college. The college is fortunate to get nurtured from these six treasuries of resources. As they stand on the threshold of their career, the college wishes them all the very best to embark on a new arena to double their contributions to the large society in which we live.

EMBARKING ON A NEW ARENA

1

From the IQAC Co-ordinator’s Desk

In the academic year 2017-18 Bharata Mata College was a platform of myriad activities primarily centered on holistic development of the students. Apart from the classroom studies, the college took initiative to inculcate in the students social and cultural values and to develop their co-curricular skills. A major achievement of the college is the placement activities and the job training programme which helped the

students to secure jobs in multinational companies. Aegis, Only Group, Axis Bank, Apollo Munich and Sutherland Global conducted recruitment drive in the college. Uber conducted online screening and Accenture conducted telephonic screening of the students. Around twenty students were placed in the companies that visited our college. Our students were also placed in various companies in the recruitment drives held at other educational institutions. The students also proved their artistry and sportsman spirit through their meritorious achievements in various cultural and sports fests. As the academic year concludes, the college shines with a sense of accomplishment and success. The Bharata Mata family also bids farewell to six of its dear teachers who retire from the service. The college showers on them respect and love for their unadulterated commitment and loyalty towards their career and college. Their persistent endeavours have always strengthened the foundation of the college. The vibes of this triumphant academic year gear up the college for another new academic year.
