From the Chancellor's desk
Sri Ramachandra University, for the past three decades, has been
dedicated to its mission to nurture scholars who demonstrate excellence
while being locally and globally responsive in areas of education,
healthcare delivery and research. During this period, the University has
witnessed tremendous and significant growth both in stature and
infrastructure. This is a result of the
far-sighted vision of my beloved father, Shri N P V Ramasamy Udayar
and the dedicated services by the faculty and staff.
In a world where change is the norm, one thing is certain - knowledge will
be a key resource and will be highly sought after, both in India and
around the globe. CSS is our answer to the growing need in India for
Sports Medicine and Allied Sciences.
