26th July 2010 is a day worth remembering for the students of PSBBSSS, as this was the day NIE educational program was launched by the “THE HINDU”. Among the dignitaries present were Dr (Mrs) Sudha Seshayyan, Dr. Mohan Rajan, Mr. Sridhar, Dr. Mrs. Y.G.P, our dean and director and Mrs. Valli Arunachalam, our principal. The function commenced with the lighting the KUTTU VILAKKU by our dean and director. A prayer was rendered and the welcome speech delivered.
Mr.Sridhar, Assistant Regional Manager (Circulation) from ‘THE HINDU’ then addressed the gathering and expounded that NIE had been scientifically framed to instill the spirit of continuous education and keep students abreast with recent issues. He mentioned that the programme had already reached over 350 schools. Dr Mrs. Sudha Seshayyan then interacted with us, telling us about her interest in the ‘YOUNG WORLD” and exhorted students to cultivate a daily habit of reading.
Leading eye specialist and president of the PTA, Dr. Mohan Rajan recalled his two decades of pleasant association with the “THE HINDU’. He made references to the ‘Health Column’ and its illuminating contents. Being the first woman in having to obtain a post graduate diploma in Journalism then, Dr. Mrs. Y.G.Parthasarathy shared her experiences as a columnist of ‘THE HINDU’. She appreciated the NIE urged us to take it up seriously.
The vote of thanks was proposed and the function came to an end, with lingering thoughts of awareness created among students.
