MESSAGE FROM VICE-CHANCELLOR

 

Oh! How I wish I could  relive every moment of the year 2001 which proved to be an eventful years in the annals of SASTRA.  This year witnessed dramatic events that brought SASTRA  to the forefront in the field of higher education. Overseas educational tours, Establishment of Prof. Hideo Nakamura Chair for Indo-Japanese Studies, The visit of Their Holinesses of Kanchi, Conferment of Deemed University status, Inauguration of TIFAC – CORE building, International Conference on Nano Computing, Launch of Digital Library project, etc are some of the events that I immediately can recall with fond memories.

 

The year that saw the transition of Shanmugha College of Engineering to Shanmugha  Arts, Science, Technology & Research Academy (SASTRA) Deemed University saw all unprecedented rush in the number of students seeking admission to various Undergraduate, Postgraduate & Ph.D. programmes.  SASTRA University has constantly strived to meet the high expectations of its stakeholders and has caved a niche in the field of higher education.  The various infrastructure facilities are ample testimony to this.  The Commitment of the teaching faculty towards research and tutoring has always been on the high.

 

I am glad we are signing this year with a very happy note and I am sure with the blessings of the Almighty and good wishes of readers like you.  SASTRA University will grow by leaps and bounds.  I am reminded of a popular Quote:

 

“ The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, But only to hold a man’s foot, Long to enable him to put the other some what higher”.

 

I take this opportunity to wish all of you a  Happy New Year.  I also wish that 2002 offers more glad news for ITIHAS.
