I took up the administration of Sree Narayana College Kannur, in
2020, the year Covid 19 pandemic fell upon us posing unprecedented
challenges and tasks which had to be taken up on a war footing. In this age
of new normal we had no models or manuals to forge ahead to sustain our
consistently maintained standards of excellence in academics, research,
extension and sports. As most things are transacted online on digital
platforms the college finds itself robust and resilient with the presence of
young faculty members in all the sixteen departments who are into the
initial lap of their academic career. Their intellectual and physical
resources have to be oriented towards keeping up the A Grade twice
acquired by NAAC accreditation. I am sure that the senior generation of
academics will definitely throw their weight behind me in sustaining the
grades of excellence in teaching, learning, research, and sports which have
been the bedrock of the success saga of our HEI that is now into its
glorious Diamond Jubilee year. Sixty long years have made the college an
integral part of the District of Kannur where it stands as an institution that
has been instrumental in building up a cosmopolitan culture breaking the
barriers of caste, religion, creed, and wealth. This has been our vision and
the college has traversed through the last six decades along the rough roads
of the social enlightenment of the northern region of Malabar. Students
who join for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are a composite
group hailing from varied social, cultural, and economic background. The
college has a very strong student support mechanism aided by the
government, PTA, College Office support staff and alumni. The Parent
Teachers’ Association is our wellspring of resource in times of crisis and
contingency. The Management keeps a close monitoring mechanism in
updation and quality assurance. I repose my trust and confidence in the
stakeholders and the local community who I am sure would support me
and co-operate in all the endeavours.
Thank you,
