Patron Speaks
Dear Alumni,
Greetings!
Glad to present the next edition of ‘CASIANS,’ the PSG Arts Alumni
Newsletter. With students coming back to offline classes, we could see
light at the other end of the tunnel at the beginning of this quarter
after terms of lockdown and online classes. However, the end of 2021
witnessed the schools and colleges closing down again to ensure safety
of students, as well to curtail the spread of the new coronavirus variant,
Omicron, likely to spread much faster and easier than its precursors.
I would like to reiterate that we have to stand together and continue taking
precautionary measures to stay.
On the brighter side, we are proudly marching forward with the Platinum
Jubilee celebrations, marking 75 years of PSG College of Arts & Science.
I take pleasure in welcoming you all to be a part of the celebrations.
Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year, I pray almighty to give us
all the strength to take up challenges ahead. Wishing our dear alumni the
best as always. Seasons greetings to all.
Shri. L.Gopalakrishnan,
Managing Trustee,
PSG & Sons’ Charities.
