Greetings and Welcome,

I thank Almighty God for showering His magnanimous grace on us. I thank Our Foundress Mother - Servant of God - Mother Thatipathri Gnanamma for the blessings showered upon us. The connection between me and St.Anne's was determined when I started my schooling in St.Anne's Broadway under the guidance of the then Principal Rev. Mother Leema Rosario. Mother's teachings enabled me to become the Assistant Professor of Mathematics and receive Doctoral degree in Mathematics. Now Our Beloved Mother elevated me to be the Principal of St.Anne's Arts and Science College, Madavaram. I feel privileged to be the Principal of St.Anne's Arts & Science College and initiated my duties on 17^th October 2018. 

Education is the prime avenue to empower women and is an important aspect of our life. The motto of Annites Mission of Education is Towards fullness through excellence and relevance. St.Anne's Arts and Science College aims to provide eminence education to women which helps the women in gaining knowledge as well as empowers them to face the challenges of the society confidently. It enables women to form their character and personality so as to form a more humane and harmonious society.

As a Principal of St.Anne's Arts and Science College, the journey I am going to embark on will be Every minute for every student with love, commitment, resilience and with the right attitude. I would like to walk higher, deeper and beyond with unconditional responsibility and humility to fulfill the dream of Our Foundress Mother Thatipathri Gnanamma. We have 1700 students with us. We are going to make 1700 achievers. When we create a girl with knowledge, values and skills, she builds a good family and becomes a socially responsible youth.

Mahatma Gandhiji once said, "If you educate the man, you educate the person but if you educate the woman, you educate the nation". Educating women is the best way to enhance the economic status of the household which in turn contributes to the National Economy.

Our College has made a significant contribution for educating women by providing quality education. This will definitely go a long way in improving quality of the education in line with the Annite's Mission of Education and in serving society with compassion and dedication. I look forward to continuing the traditions of the college and helping students achieve even great success.

Our College builds on the concrete tradition of academic and extra -curricular excellence that began five years ago. The faculty and administrative staff have high expectations for our students, and our expectations are matched only with the perseverance of the students. The healthy relationship between the parents and college will result in fostering a successful academic year for students.

We endeavor to make sure all of our students are very well transformed to face the challenges of life upon graduation, either joining of the branches of service or joining the workforce. Our goal is to make sure the students are well prepared to pursue their hopes and dreams. Today is the day for us to start working on our dreams. What we do today can improve all our tomorrows. 

With Prayers
