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

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!
