This year's TCS Best Student Award went to Ms.Gomathi of CSE. It was presented by Shri.Vasu, Senior HR, TCS.
What I liked about the winner is that she gave such a nice thank you speech. Short, sweet and spontaneous. We are proud of you, Gomathi.
I certainly will be killed by my CSE boys and girls, if I overlook their Progeni 09. As if I would!
It is such a splendidly organised and well conducted programme that one would be committing a serious error of oversight, if one did not attend it, much less talk about it.
Progeni09 brought students from all over the state who presented their papers. For a day, the campus saw a lot of hustle and bustle near the auditorium where the rangoli of the Progeni09 logo greeted the visitors. With a lot of warmth we were all welcomed to the inaugural function.
The souvenir was released...and oh, was it impressive! A very well laid out, aesthetically prepared and almost most carefully edited one...I loved it. The articles were all very interesting and informative...of general interest.
The MCs were highly impressive...I get the feeling that they have blossomed very well and are a good example of what a search for perfection can do.
Once again, one had to admire Ms.Kalpana for her complete control of the whole show, though students ran it through and through. Delegation at its best!
Don't forget, student power is awesome here.
The Chief guest was a very simple and friendly person. He sat through the paper presentations, since he wanted to listen to the papers on internet security. He also evinced a lot of interest in the digital library when Ms.Kalpana and I took him around with some of our students;; he spent time checking out the security checks at the library server and giving a few valuable suggestions.
He was also highly appreciative of the Language Resource Centre and the efforts taken by the department to enhance the language skills of our students. The powerpoint presentation on the Language Lab Highlights was an opportunity to allow a guest to see the facilities available and our efforts to give our students all resources to tap their potential to the utmost.
