EXTENSION ACTIVITY :

Various government concerned programs, programmes of various schools and

colleges were conducted in our college premises. They are as follows : IFHRMS Programme

conducted by Wipro organization, Workshop on ’Women in Science and Research conducted

by V.O.C. College, Eye Camp organized by Lions Club and V.O.C. College, Vigilance

Awareness Week organized by V.O.C. College, C.A. Exam conducted by V.O.C College,

Government Electronic Marketing organized by Treasury Department and Young Students

Scientist Programme organized by V.O.C College, supported by Tamilnadu State Council for

Science and Technology.

CONCLUSION :

Today we look forward with a sense of hope, towards greater growth and progress.

We have wholeheartedly completed the task of reaping the harvest of a successful

academic year. We invoke the blessings of Lord Almighty to accomplish more in the years to

come.

Today we are celebrating the 64th College Day happily under the president ship of

Dr.C.Veerabahu, Principal, V.O.Chidambaram College. I thank him for accepting our

invitation to grace the function.

All these achievements of the college were possible only because of the commitment

of VOCCE family.

In this occasion it is our duty to express our sincere thanks and heartfelt gratitude to

the continuous encouragement, selfless service and guidance from our management

particularly we are indebted to our Hon.President who brings his blessings every day, every

moment we experience his care and protection. And our Secretary who spend a considerable

part of his prime time for the efficient functioning of the college, without whose help we

would have not been in a position to maintain high standard of education and discipline in

this great institution I also thank the members of V.O.C. Educational Society for their

constant encouragement.

I express my thanks to faculty members, non- teaching staff, students-teachers and our

well-wishers. I thank each and every one of you for your gracious presence.

I am sure that our collective endeavor shall take V.O.Chidambaram College of

Education to greater heights and commit ourselves to do our best to serve our society through

quality education.

We take this opportunity to congratulate the trainees for their excellent performance

and warm wishes for their bright future ahead. Hope all their dreams and aspirations come

true and pray the almighty to guide these trainees in the right path and make them worthy for

this society.

Last but not least, I thank the Almighty for his abundant blessings and guidance in the

future in the right direction.

With the following few words I conclude, In the words of Jean Piaget “The goal of

education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child

to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things”. Our founder

Secretary kulapathy APCVeerabahu echoed the same outcome of education in different

words “Make every teacher a success and no teacher a failure.” We have a great mission

ahead and it is to help our students learn the right thing and enable them to manifest what

they have learnt. This manifestation of perfection is possible if our minds and hearts are

united in marching towards the goal of our founder tamilavel.

Let us continue our march and achieve the goal. Thank you. Jai Hind!
