Prof. VK Vijay from IIT Delhi interacted with faculty members and students of the College at a function presided over by Sri. PV Abdul Wahab MP, the Founder, and Patron of the College.

Community partners may include child and health services, community organizations, sporting clubs, education and training providers, government organizations, local businesses, and industry. Through these partnerships, schools may increase their ability to offer a range of experiences, real-life learning opportunities, support and resources that are not available within the school to improve students’ learning and wellbeing outcomes.
