Reprint of the message given to the students in the year 1998 by the Founder-Chancellor:
Beloved Student,
It is with a great sense of pleasure and joy that I welcome you to this campus as a student. Our Trust when it was conceived in the year 1985, dedicated this institution to the proposition that it shall reach the heights of excellence in the fields of medical and health related education, research and patient care. Since then we have worked with a great sense of determination and commitment to make this 150 green acres develop as a mini town with all the facilities inside, keeping in mind the ecology of the surroundings. We are aware that this is going to be your home away from your own home for the next several years and it is vital that the campus is healthy for your growth and comfort. I myself have spared no pains to procure everything that is considered essential to accomplish this. Your parents do expect us to provide appropriate facilities for your development during the next several crucial years in your life. Myself and the administrators of this institution will be happy to listen to your suggestions, requests, and complaints and take such actions as necessary to improve the situation. But it is very essential that you keep the communication line open and have no hesitation in approaching us. It is also possible that some of you may have unusual, personal, social and adjustment problems particularly when you are away from your own families for a long time. My faculty, staff, wardens and the Dean of Faculties assure me that they will provide such counselling services as may be necessary in the individual circumstances. Such services will be given entirely on a one on one basis in strict confidentiality. But again it is up to you to seek such help from us when you are in need.
Although you are here primarily in pursuit of good education and qualification, we believe that you should have adequate opportunities for extra curricular activities particularly cultural and sports. We encourage all such activities that will help you develop an all round personality and become an excellent professional.
At this juncture it is important that you become aware of our expectation of you. As much as you have a right to stay and enjoy the privileges in the campus every other student who is here has the right as well. This institution cannot tolerate any student intimidating other students in the form of teasing, ragging or cause any kind of harm to fellow student physically or emotionally. We do not have a place in this institution for such indiscipline and any student who indulges in such activities will be summarily expelled. Students and parents should also be aware of the recent strict laws that have been enforced by the State Government of Tamil Nadu against any form of ragging inside college campuses. We shall not be responsible for action taken by the Government against offending students. Any student victimized by any other student has no other choice except to report the incident immediately to the Dean of Faculties. It is expected of every student that he will abide by all the rules and regulations of the colleges and the hostel at all times.Students who have difficulties with the subject are encouraged to directly seek counseling from the Head of the Department concerned. He is further encouraged to contact the administration to obtain necessary help for improvement. As a policy it is demanded of every student that he/she maintains 80% attendance in every subject and also meet the standards required for internal assessment examinations. In the matter of allowing a candidate to appear for examinations, the final authority is the concerned Head of the Department and the Dean of Faculties.
In conclusion, I would like you to note that we are here to make everything that is possible and necessary to give you a good education and experience in your field. It is with this intention that we have made historic alliance with Harvard Medical School also. We want you to utilize all these for your betterment, so that you look back one day and feel proud of your ALMA MATER.Wishing you the very best in your life,
N.P.V. RAMASAMY UDAYAR
