From the President’s desk……
Dear SITAA Members, Teachers, Students and other viewers of SITAA voice,
Let me first convey my Hearty Greetings for the NEW YEAR 2020 with prayers to Lord
Almighty that let the coming year 2020 is brighter than the preceding year 2019.
I am extremely happy to inform you that the Alumni of 1981 batch have done the Bhoomi
Puja on 26th January 2019 for the construction of an open air auditorium in SIT premises.
They want to install the bust size statues of our late beloved Principals Sri.GS & Sri.ANC.
The construction work has been started and it is going on in a full swing. They have
contributed their share and a few others are also contributed. A separate Account has been
opened with the Bank of India, Ariyamangalam Branch, functioning in SIT CAMPUS.
I welcome liberal contributions from our Alumni as well as those who are known to Sri.GS
& Sri.ANC, so that the work can go on without any interruption till its finish. It is very
much heartening to note that even SRI ANC”s family has also given their contribution.
