There has been a general concern in recent past particularly in industry circles that students who are passing out of professional colleges are not employable in industrial concerns.This matter needs urgent attention by all stake holders. TMA had considered this issue seriously this year.With this purpose, we had conducted a Brain Storming Session inviting various management professionals. Based on the outcome,it was decided to organize Student Chapters in professional colleges. So far we have started 9 student chapters. During the year, we had 12 programs for the students and eminent people conducted classes for the students. The response had been excellent. The contribution of Shri P.M Jose, our CEO and Students’ coordinator is worth mentioning in this context. We had 10 lecture programs for the members during the year and eminent people addressed the members. Through various lecture and other programs we could inculcate academic/management spirit among our members. Further we could organize 5 programs jointly with Chamber of Commerce and CII Thrissur Chapter.This included a major activity - Presentation of a Survey finding on “Public Opinion about Harthals” to eminent people of Thrissur including MLAs. Our students had gone around and interviewed a large sample size of people from all cross sections of the society and we could come out with a booklet on the survey findings which got wide appreciation. We celebrated TMA getting “Best LMA” award from AIMA in a grand scale. Onam Celebrations and New Year Celebrations were colorful events. The annual convention was held on 19th April 2016 at the beautiful venue, Lulu International Convention Centre.Various prestigious awards instituted by TMA were presented to the recipients during the convention. Our flagship program of the year was the “Shaping Young Minds program” of AIMA.This program had a record attendance of 1500 students and teachers from various professional colleges. This program has been recognized by AIMA as one of their best programs. The objective of the program was to inspire young people, both students and professionals in management and shaping them up to the expectations in their management career. The professional skill and time management in organizing this program was of the 5 highest order. All the four speakers namely Mr. Vijay Thadani, Justice N. Santhosh Hegde, Mr. Shiv Kumar and Mr. Deepak Vohra inspired and motivated the students with their wonderful presentations.The question-answer sessions were very lively. It was the first time that TMA had organized such a program and it was highly appreciated by one and all. The SYMP team under the chairmanship of Er. M.R. Gopalakrishnan (Immediate Past President) ,deserves special appreciation for the good work done by them. Six issues of our bimonthly magazine,” Management Voice” were brought out during the year The Silver jubilee Souvenir with directory of all life members will be released soon.. We thank Shri V.P. Nandakumar MD, Manappuram Group and Past President TMA for getting the Management Voice printed. I like to specially mention the hard work done by Mr. Ranjan Sreedharan Chief Editor of Management Voice. We have decided to step down after the memorable innings with the concluding program to be held on 23rd July where we will have Shri S.M. Vijayanand, the Chief Secretary of Kerala as the Chief Guest and Mr. Sanjay Grover, Director AIMA to offer felicitation. I would like to utilize this opportunity to thank Er. Vinod Manjila, Honorary Secretary who took the initiative in organizing various programs so meticulously. He worked so hard to ensure that all our programs are conducted in an excellent manner. The support and full involvement from CA. T.S Anantharaman Chairman, Building Committee, Er. P. Anand Menon Senior Vice President, Er. Christo George Vice President, Colonel. Pratapchandran, Honorary Treasurer, CA. Anantharaman T.R Honorary Joint Secretary, Dr. V.M. Xavior immediate past Secretary and Mr. K.R. Raju are worth mentioning and they all did their best in organizing various programs. I also thank Er. M. Unnikrishnan and CA. C. L Soni (Past Secretaries) for their work in bringing out the Jubilee Souvenir. I also like to extend my sincere gratitude to Sri M. P. Ramachandran (CMD, Jyothi Laboratories Ltd, Mumbai) and Sri Ramachandran Ottapath (CEO, Choppies, Botswana) for becoming our patrons and contributing Rs. 10 lakhs each to our Corpus Fund.
