CONCLUSION

As I conclude my report, I look back with satisfaction at the many accomplishments of every

member of our college community, in our mission and commitment to higher education. I

owe my gratitude to the Management for their support and goodwill to accomplish the task

and ensure the smooth functioning of our day to day activities.

I thank the members of the Governing Body, benefactors and well-wishers.

I would be failing in my duty if I don't recognize, respect and respond to the kind of

goodwill, support and cooperation given by. the former Secretary Rev.Fr.Sabu M George. I

remain grateful to him.

My sincere thanks to the Vice Principals, Deans of Academics, Deans of Discipline, Deans

of Sciences and Humanities, the IQAC Coordinator, NCC & NSS program Officers, The

Director of Physical Education, Heads of Departments, Faculty in-charge of various units

and programs, Members of Faculty, the Staff Welfare Association, Accounts Section,

establishment, Non-Teaching, Support and Security Staff and my Personal Assistants Ms.

Lydia Thomas and Ms. Deepa for their unstinted support and cooperation, without whom my

work would have been incomplete. My profound thanks to the members of Staff both

teaching and Non-teaching for preparing this report, specially the Convener, Co-conveners,

the Annual Day Report Committee and all the committees of Annual Day program.

Change is inevitable in any system, more so in academic management and administration.

Our new Secretary, Rev.Fr.Philip Pulipra is a pleasant personality with a greater

understanding of persons and deep commitment towards the accepted assignment. He has

been a great friend of the college community, in spite of the fact that he is the chief of the

Management in the college campus. I record my sincere appreciation and thanks to

Rev.Fr.Philip Pulipra. There are many plans which would bring in enough and more

facilities on campus in addition to new sections of courses and infra structure with the able

guidance and goodwill of Fr.Philip.

Above all, It's the Almighty God who brought me here to this campus by His grace to lead

this institution. I remain ever grateful to God, the most faithful as He is great and His mercy

endureth forever.

Let our light shine brighter now and ever after.

Thank You!
