PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
The quality of engineers coming out of an institution depends on the institution to a large
extent. As AISAT is entering its second year of existence we have the satisfaction of having a job
well done and we look forward, with confidence derived from God’s blessings and grace. Our
motto is the Bible verse “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not
depart from it” Pro 22:6.

the White Revolution". He graduated from Loyola College, Madras in 1940
and then obtained his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from
the College of Engineering, Guindy. He took India from being a milk-
deficient nation, to the largest milk producer in the world, surpassing the
United States of America in 1998, with about 17 percent of global output in
2010-11, which in 30 years doubled the milk available to every person. Dairy
farming became India’s largest self-sustaining industry. He made the
country self-sufficient in edible oils too.
