52. New Year Gift


Once assured that the day’s University Examination has been postponed, the regular morning assembly on 01, January 2019 was held in the Institute auditorium. The Principal welcomed the students and teachers back to the Institute after Christmas vacation and wished everyone a pleasant and fulfilling New Year.

The New Year message dwelt largely on ‘New Year Resolutions’ which the students could take for self improvement. The Principal drew the attention of the students to the role they are expected to play in society “…that of addressing the head(cognitive), heart(feelings) and hand(skills) of  the learner assigned to them in future. Other professions do not necessarily address all these three domains simultaneously. This makes it imperative for prospective teachers to develop essential knowledge base and competence to mould the learner assigned to them in future and this in turn requires them to strive for self empowerment through resolutions however small  that they make on New Year’s day…”

The teachers who addressed the students hoped that they would forget the sad experiences of the past and join hands  in working together as a team.

For almost a month, the members of the College Union 2018-19, AMOGHA, had been  assiduously  compiling the notes  for  uploading in their new Blog. The Joint Secretary, Ms. Adhya introduced the project and the Principal launched the Blog, AMOGHA RESOURCE WORLD …one of the best gifts  a College Union could  ever give the student community!
