DR. I. Annammal Arputhamary, M.Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D
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 17th 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
