Innovations in Curriculum Design and Transaction

The various departments of the College continued their curricular and research activities. I wish to make a special mention of the following events.

The Department of Physics (The Spectro Physics Research Laboratory) has conducted” National Conference on Recent Advances in Physics” in honour of Dr.S.Gunasekaran, Professor of Physics of this College for his successful guidance of 25 students for their Ph.D. degree. This is a prestigious and significant milestone in the academic career of a Research Supervisor and Guide and it seems fitting to mark this event in this manner.

The Department of Corporate Secretaryship has organized an Inter Class Competition on Environmental Science in view of GREEN CORP 2008 on 06.02.2008.

The departments of Tamil, English, Mathematics, History, Economics, Commerce, Philosophy, Physics, Botany and Zoology continued their research activities leading to the award of M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees to a number of scholars and publication of a large number of research papers in leading national and international journals.
