Dear Staff,

 

Thank you for taking great effort in accomplishing our goal of excellence this year in academic, sports, and extracurricular activities.

 

I briefly like to remind the activities based on your work details data sheet that I have received from all staff.

 

Academic Directors: Mr. Amar Sing Feroz, Mr. Madhavan, Mr. Velladurai, Dr. Ramamoorthy, Mrs. Reginapaul, Mrs. Emelda, Ms. Booma, Mr. Balakumaran, Mr. Ganaprasana, Mr. Rajasekar.

 

Duties are:

(1) Assembly; (2) Exams Results analysis; (3) Students/parents meet; (4) Attendance; (5) Discipline; (6) Sports; (7) Club activity; (8) Anna University; (9) DOTE; (10) Inspection; (11) Scholarships

 

1. Assembly has been conducted by Mrs. Regina Paul daily with great care. I appreciate her continuous effort in improving the students’ talents in spoken English. I like every department HOD each day to take the lead instead of just the same person every day.

2. Exams Results analysis: MCQ has been conducted for Mech and Civil departments as well. It is being evaluated by staff.  I request Dr. Ramanoorthy to analyse the results and send me a brief report on how the students performed overall.

 

I was told IAT 3 should be completed before the start of the Practical Exams (24/10/13). It has been decided therefore to start the tests from 18/10/13, hold 2 tests per day and complete the tests preferably on 21/10/13. IAT 3 must be completed before the start of the Practical Exams (24/10/13). 

 

Accordingly the tests will start from 21/10/13. Thank you Dr. Ramamoorthy for conducting the exam on time. I appreciate it.

 

3. Students/parents meet: Parents meet for the 1st year students were conducted on Saturday, October 19th. Only 6 parents out of 54 attended. They were informed that their participation will be needed at least once in a month. Except on holidays, every Saturday will see a parents meet. Parents are asked to know their ward attendance, 5th hour daily test, and discipline report on their every visit. They can meet the academic directors on appointment for clarification of any problems.

Parents were asked to sign the admission undertaking letter needed by the management to complete the admission process. For those who were absent, the letter is sent through their children.

HOD will collect all the signed parents and give it to the Records section by Tuesday 24/10/13.

1st year ME students were asked to meet for the ME orientation and to discuss the study model for the semester. Emphasis was given on scoring high marks in the coming exam by serious commitment in their studies.

 

ME students were asked to pay their dues and to meet the chairperson and sign the undertaking letter.  Due to low attendance on that day, the time to sign the undertaking letter has been extended further till Tuesday, 22nd October. Academic directors were asked to take proper attention. The admission of those students who failed to sign and meet the chairperson by Tuesday, not paid the Tuition fees will be cancelled without any further notice. We expect students to oblige the college rules and regulations if they like to continue their studies.

 

(4) Attendance; (5) Discipline; (6) Sports; (7) Club activity: Concerned staff, please send the report on each every week. It would be helpful for better communication among ourselves.

 

(11) Scholarships:  It is in process for both Polytechnic and JSEC under the Supervision of Mr. Velladurai, who has done good work.

 

I like to remind again from the previous message: Since odd semester 2014 will be a very short period, all staff are requested to submit the Course Materials and Questions by 30th November 2013. Every department is given special agenda for the improvement of their department as well as to improve the admission of students.

 

For the grievance of death of the Principal of another engineering college, Dr. Suresh, 21st Monday is declared as holiday. I deeply regret that our younger generation has taken the wrong route to destroy others and themselves. We staff have to counsel and guide them in the right direction. Good education always will lead them in the right track and let us try to give that.

 

All the best.

Dear Staff,

 

Thank you for taking the time this past Friday and Saturday to discuss on the department work performance in September. Happy to know the predicted result by the department heads was above 80%. MCQ is also conducted in all departments except Civil and Mechanical.  In both departments it will be conducted on 17/10/13. All first year ME students must be informed about the online study model to get the attendance and Internal assessment marks. They must meet the chairperson one of the days in this week and subsequently during my monthly visits.

Every Saturday parents meet will be conducted between 2pm and 4 pm and they will be informed all the current events in our campus. Staff must request their support.

 

Since odd semester 2014 will be a very short period, all staff are requested to submit the Course Materials and Questions by 30th November 2013. Every department is given special agenda for the improvement of their department as well as to improve the admission of students.

 

In addition, it was informed that the website has been updated more frequently now so all staff and students are requested to open our college website to get the latest news.

 

On Saturday 12/10/13 at 3 pm, Minutes of Staff Meeting were discussed among the department HOD. The Chairperson insisted that the staff need more unity to accomplish the goal. All the issues were discussed in various angles. At the end, staff have been identified and divided into 4 groups to support each other and works has been delegated to them. This will be effective from 17/10/13. It was insisted that all 4 groups must interact more often to avoid misunderstanding and miscommunication among staff and students. They all must work as four wheels of a vehicle toward our goal of seeking excellence in 2013 such as Academic Result, Sports and Club activities.  It was reminded again that the unity of staff would force the students to be more disciplined. And also the senior faculty members must help the junior staff in controlling the students.  The meeting was ended with the resolution by the staff that they will try their level best in achieving the goal as a team not as an individual department and would produce 100% result in the up-coming University exam. Special efforts will be done for 1st semester students in Diploma, BE and ME students.  We decided to have our next meeting on 23rd December 2013. We concluded the meeting with prayer.

Dear Staff:

 

Greetings to you.

 

I know this month has started with a big surprise and disappointment.

 

I feel discipline is far more important than anything else in this world.

 

If I am allowed to prioritize things, discipline must be the first one. Then comes our skills, health, wealth, etc.  Our students must learn the discipline first. They will not learn it unless they go through difficulties in life.  Our students get their education at low cost but their attendance rate is low. I feel they have more privileges compared to my 6 year old daughter.  Unless they are taught to know the value of the education they are not going to be benefited by their learning nor will they be useful to the society in which they live.

 

In these 10 days let them realize how valuable their time and learning are. Do you think they have a good environment like our institution to study?  They have to understand the value of our college and you. They cannot take everything for granted. If they are coming to the college it is for learning and preparing them to live independently. So, let them study on their own what you have taught so far.

 

I will send the appointments to meet the staff like last month. After the meeting we can have the students write the exam. Please send the question bank and answer key to my mail ID.

 

We have decided to use a group email to communicate the teaching staff. Initially I am asking Liston to coordinate the work. Once it works well I will be sending you all directly.  Please clarify your doubts with Mr. Liston regarding how it works.

 

I prefer frequent communication that will strengthen us to reach our goal. When you have time please visit the following links.

I conclude with a story “Gold 3 feet away.”

 

One man was digging the ground for gold treasure. He could not find it.  He got frustrated and threw the tools in the trash.  A trash picker took the tools and got the help of specialist mining engineer. He surveyed the ground and advised that gold was only 3 feet away. He dug three feet and got the treasure. Are you ‘just 3 feet from gold?’

 

Best wishes,

 

Joe

Dear Staff and Students,

 

Welcome to the new academic year 2012-13. I am happy to welcome you all in the new academic year. Each one of us has started the year with great expectation of receiving quality education in our JS Colleges. Since I took up the management role since 16thSeptember 2008, I have worked with teachers to remind them of their responsibility for inspiring students and pushing them to learn.I have talked about parents' responsibility for making sure that students stay on track, get their work done, and not toget distracted with things like their mobile phones.

 

Today,I would like to say things a little differently.We can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and good friends, butnone of it will make a difference -- none of it will matter -- unless everyone fulfillstheir responsibilities.Unless students show up in their classes, pay attention to their teachers, listen to their parents and put in the hard work it takes to succeed, the chances of success are slim.

 

I am aware that many of you do not have the advantages of students who haverich parents. It is possible that you do not have adults in your life who can give you the support that you need. But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your responsibilities. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher or cutting classes or dropping out of college.

 

Many successful people havefaced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education and set goals for themselves, and I expect all of you to do the same. That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them.

 

The goals can range from something simple, but effective as attending all classes, or spending some time each day reading a bookto getting involved in an extracurricular, club activity. Finally, I want to assure that I am working hard to ensure that our college will have infrastructurethat will prepare you for high quality education. I expect you to do your part, too. I expect all of you to get serious this year and put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. Make us all proud.

 

Follow what our Motto says,
"FAITH + WORK = SUCCESS"

 

Thank you very much, everybody for taking time to read my message.
God bless you. God bless India.
Thank you
