M. G University youth festival cup rests to the College Union.
solely with her, an abode of arts -a true
‘Kalalayam’ in all sense. The NAAC visit
that we had, made me understand why this
college was applauded for its performing arts
and I was fortunate to have been chosen one
among the dancers of Margamkali for the
NAAC cultural evening. One among the jury
commented that she now understood why we
have grabbed youth festival trophies for such
a long period. The efforts that each student,
teacher, and Management rendered for the
purpose made me bow and instilled in me
a confidence that a Teresian must possess.
I was really surprised at the innumerous
seminars and workshops that we would host.
And at times, we friends used to comment
that even Sr. Vinitha and Sajimol ma’am
might not know what is happening here.
First year gave me a multitude of vibrant
experiences, including the MG University
Youth Festival and I am grateful to the
Union 2019-2020 for having given us all the
beautiful and extravagant occasions. Youth
festival was singularly the most amazing
experience I ever had.
It’s the only time when the whole college
comes together for a much definite purpose.
My second year, if I had to denote it with a
name I would rather call it,’ The Corona Year’.
I was utterly broken and never could imagine
myself in a room, without any rhythm or
beats of Teresa’s. However, the period passed
by. We survived, as any mortal would do.
And, at this point I proudly can say, I never
sat at a place meekly, thinking ouch the covid
pandemic has made us immobile, so let me
sit placidly and watch the chaos unfurl.
Teresa’s gave me fortitude and endurance.
She imbibed the new ‘Normal’. I was elected
The deans of the year 2020-2021, the Arts
club advisors made us and moulded us into
perfect beings that would unabashedly stand
erect in face of a crisis and would utter, that
a pandemic would not be mighty enough
to keep you away from things you ought to
enjoy and experience.
The College also has supported the students
when they were in distress. When the online
pattern crept in, there were a lot of students
who could not afford to have a good electronic
device to be used for educational purposes.
The ‘Sumansu’ project was envisaged with
the vision to equip all our students with
the devices essential for the online mode
of education. And, I wholeheartedly thank
the Sumansu project visionaries for having
provided the students with the devices, and
I was blessed and fortunate to be one among
them.
Thank you!
I am also bound to speak volumes about
my Dept.of English which has given me the
strength and support to actively engage in all
the college activities.
All my three Heads of the Department were
kind enough to let me go for any program
and also into the Union, without any second
thought.
Thank you dear teachers.
Our third year was also shrouded with the
pandemic but as I mentioned earlier, we
never sat idly being upset and regretful. I
should say, that is a quality that I have found
in most of the teachers here - Activity. They
are never static.
