Dear Sacred Hearts!

It is with great pleasure and a profound sense of pride I extend my warmest greetings to each and every Sacred Heart. As the academic year draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence throughout the year. Together, we have accomplished so much this year, despite facing numerous challenges and uncertainties. Your resilience, adaptability, and collaborative spirit have been truly remarkable, and I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together as a college community.
As we approach the Platinum Jubilee of the college, let us recount all what God has done for this institution over the years. Through our college, the Sacred Heart of Jesus has blessed us with significant opportunities, and I assure that we have taken benefits of every chance to improve the quality of our institution. I am appealing to all the stakeholders that together, we shall brainstorm and put our ideas into action for the upcoming jubilee celebrations.
Over the years, the institution has accomplished many milestones, meeting the demands of all stakeholders and the larger community. This academic year Sacred Heart College has embarked yet another milestone by receiving National Status in the NIRF by securing the 42nd rank at the top colleges in India and the College was awarded as Best College, 2022 by Thiruvalluvar University, Vellore. I Congratulate the Management, Faculty Staff and Students on this remarkable achievements.
We as proud citizens of this vibrant country, possess an incredible power, the power to shape our future through the simple act of voting. With elections on the horizons, I urge each and every one of you to step forward and actively participate in this democratic process. Participating in elections isn't merely a right; it's a responsibility- a responsibility to yourself, to your peers, and to future generations. It's an opportunity to support positive change, speak out on behalf of the causes you care about, and hold our leaders responsible. I thus encourage everyone who is eligible to vote in the Indian Parliament Elections of 2024 and to encourage others to do the same.
Celebrating the 200th Year of Don Bosco's Dream in 2024, I reflect on a vision that transcends time, reminding us that at the age of nine, Johnny Bosco envisioned a haven for youth through transformative education. His dream, rooted in kindness and guidance from Jesus and the Blessed Mother Mary, emphasized that education, grounded in love and morality, is the key to empowering individuals and building a better society. This dream, at the heart of the Salesian mission, has become a reality among youths in more than 135 countries globally, and it is now our turn to keep alive the dream of Don Bosco — "The dream that makes you dream," a heart that transforms "wolves into lambs."
