The plaque unveiling marked the official opening of the new academic block.

The celebrations then moved to the stage program, which commenced with a blissful prayer dance, followed by a warm welcome address. In his presidential message, Rev. Dr. Thomas Kalariparambil inspired the students and encouraged the faculty, while expressing heartfelt gratitude to the Principal, Finance Administrator, and Bursar for their pivotal roles in turning this vision into reality.
