The principal was given a fond farewell by the Association of Teachers at the initiative of Prof. PGV on his promotion as Additional Director at DOTE.  

Heads of Departments and faculty members spoke, recalling their association with the principal in his long stint of nearly 30 years at the institution. They spoke of his solutions to the long pending demand for domestic billing for electricity in the quarters, his sanctioning of arrears and funds for development activities in the mechanical and civil departments, his encouragement of research proposals and his simple administrative style.

The principal was his humble self as he spoke of the memorable days at Bargur where he learnt his reins, his tussels with administration, his strong understanding of administrative rules and regulations  and  his desire to help all.

It was with the feeling of happiness that he was not really leaving the instituion, only moving to a bigger seat of power, that everyone left the hall, wishing him success, achievement and happiness.
