University Emblem

Description of Emblem:

The emblem of the Deemed University has four salient images depicted in it: The red triangle with its apex pointing up, the bow, the arrow and the entwined snakes.

The triangle with the arrow underscores the Mission of the Deemed University: viz, to merge the three enduring objectives – Education, Healthcare and Research – represented by its three sides into a harmonized whole and hold it launched boldly up into the future. The arrow in addition, stands for the wand of Hermes (or the staff of Asclepius) and with the two entwined snakes represents the Caduceus, which has been traditionally used as the symbol of the medical profession. Uniquely, the bow here adds dynamism and a further dimension to the theme as it holds the arrow poised with its focus into posterity.

Message by Shri. N.P.V. Ramasamy Udayar Founder-Chancellor (given in the year 1998)

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 Government of Tamil Nadu and other statutory authorities against any form of ragging inside college campuses. It is expected of every student that he will abide by all the rules and regulations of this Deemed University 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 a historic alliance with Harvard Medical International also. We want you to utilize all these for your betterment, so that you can look back one day and feel proud of your ALMA MATER.

Wishing you the very best in your life,

N.P.V.Ramasamy Udayar

From the Desk of the Chancellor

Dear Students,

It is with much pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to you once again and to all the new students who enter the portals of Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, in pursuit of knowledge & skill.

This university offers an exhilarating and rewarding experience for every student with enormous opportunities to nurture talents and gain competence.

The mark of excellence for any University lies in its facilities and ambience. The exceptional infrastructure at the University, both scholastic and extra-curricular, admirably sets the precise ambience to facilitate excellent teaching learning environment. There have been noteworthy improvements in infrastructure in the colleges and hospital in the past year.

I am in admiration of the efforts that our faculty members have put in to develop the team of subject matter experts. Many courses have been restructured and support is given for promoting research by way of fellowships, grants and awards to the students and faculty members.

The starting of a Faculty of Engineering and Technology to offer programs in the latest fields of computer sciences and technology marks a major and significant goal achieved by the University in its quest for meeting societal and industry needs.

While new courses have been introduced, competency-based curricula have been progressively adopted across the various faculties. Another significant achievement is that exclusive departments have been created for Rheumatology, Hepatology, Hand Surgery and Cardiac Anaesthesia. In addition, Acute pain clinic, Foot clinic and

Geriatric clinic have been inaugurated in 2018 with sophisticated equipments and competent doctors and staff, thus satiating the long felt need for healthcare delivery in these areas.

Our University is a place of learning, impeccable in its own way, with a vast and aesthetic campus, enormous library and friendly and professional faculty providing an impressive platform for the overall growth and development of students. Since inception, the versatile skill sets and strong value system imbibed by our students have enabled their recruitment to various esteemed companies.

All these achievements have led the University to be ranked 28th among all universities by the MHRD-NIRF Ranking 2020, while Sri Ramachandra Medical college and Research Institute was ranked 13th , Sri Ramachandra Faculty of Dental Sciences was ranked 7th and the Faculty of Pharmacy was placed at the 26th rank. The India Today survey has acclaimed the University as the fifth top ten Medical Universities in India, in August 2020. It is also adjudged as the fourth out of five Medical Universities in India with the Best Teacher-Student Ratio and with the Most Super Speciality Students graduated in the past three years.

I take this opportunity to congratulate the students and faculty who have won awards and recognition abiding by our core vision of contributing to ethical and intellectual leadership.

Recognition is especially meaningful during the COVID-19 pandemic. Right now, our healthcare workers are on the frontlines of battling the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that’s spreading rapidly throughout our city, state and nation. Our doctors, nurses, technicians, transporters, EMTs, pharmacists and everyone who supports patient care are rising to the occasion and caring for our most vulnerable populations. Thank you for the sacrifices you make, every day and especially during this pandemic. Your dedication, commitment and courage deserve our deepest gratitude and admiration. Your service to patients is saving countless lives and 11

making thousands of differences. I appreciate the academicians for doing their best to provide support for e-learning and online education to students.

As we enter the academic year 2020-21, it is my privilege to greet the students, faculty members and staff of the University and to convey my best wishes to them for success in all their endeavors towards excellence in education, health care and research.

V.R. VENKATAACHALAM

I would like to commend our faculty, students and staff for their involvement, hard work and commitment.

Much appreciation for all the healthcare workers that are giving so much of themselves during this health crisis (COVID-19 pandemic). I can only imagine how physically and emotionally draining this is. I hope all of you are finding ways to keep your spirits high and know there are so many people grateful for all of you! Our doctors, healthcare workers and hospital staff are providing compassionate and collaborative care.

Our academicians are showing innovation and persistence to make sure learning doesn't stop through online education in these difficult times. And our student body is lending a hand and uplifting each other in new ways. For all this and more, we say thank you. We're grateful to you, our SRIHER family, for rising to the challenge in these unprecedented times. I am very happy, right now, our SRIHER community is stronger than ever.
