Prof. Suresh complimented the teachers and students for their support in shifting from face-to-face teaching to online teaching and also in conducting the end-semester examinations successfully.
These farsighted and student-friendly measures drew the gratitude of the students as expressed in an email by the Student Council. Members of the Council profusely thanked the Vice-Chancellor, teacher-administrators, and all the teachers for their efforts in ensuring the safety and security and for saving the academic year for the students.
The Council said “From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for all that you have done this past year for us, the students. We understand that you have gone through a lot of trouble and hardship to make sure that we have a good education in the safety and security of our university. We realize that we would not have been able to complete the present year without your kind forbearance and cooperation. We are sincerely grateful for everything you have done. We are also aware that you have done so often at great personal cost to both yourself and your family and we are indebted to you for it”.
