DMK Leader Trichy Siva Inaugurates Alumni Building at Trichy College
In a significant development for educational infrastructure in Tamil Nadu, senior DMK leader and Rajya Sabha MP, Trichy Siva, laid the foundation stone for a new building at Thanthai Periyar Government Arts and Science College in Trichy on Saturday. This event marks a key step in enhancing campus facilities under the state's Nammaku Naame scheme, aimed at fostering community-driven development.
Ceremony Highlights and Dignitaries Present
The foundation-laying ceremony was attended by a host of academic and administrative dignitaries, underscoring the importance of this project. Prof Vasudevan, head of the Tamil department, delivered the welcome address, setting a scholarly tone for the proceedings. Other notable participants included College Principal Angammal, former principal of Sethupathi Government Arts College Mustafa Kamal, former principal of Sarfoji Raja Government Arts College Chellapa, and former general secretary of the students' association, Rajalingam. Their presence highlighted the collaborative effort behind this initiative.
Purpose and Benefits of the New Building
According to sources, the new building is designed to serve multiple critical functions for the college community. It will primarily be used for campus placement drives, providing a dedicated space for recruiters to interact with students and facilitate job opportunities. Additionally, the building will host alumni meetings, strengthening ties between former students and the institution. This dual-purpose approach aims to boost both career prospects and networking opportunities for current and past students.
Background on the Nammaku Naame Scheme
The construction is being carried out under the Nammaku Naame scheme, a government initiative that translates to "We for Ourselves." This scheme encourages community participation and self-reliance in developing public infrastructure, often focusing on educational and social projects. By leveraging this scheme, the college aims to create a sustainable and functional space that meets the evolving needs of its students and alumni.
This project reflects a broader trend in Tamil Nadu's education sector, where such schemes are increasingly used to upgrade facilities and support student welfare. The involvement of political leaders like Trichy Siva adds momentum to these efforts, ensuring they receive the necessary attention and resources.
