SAASC, Striving for a vibrant and dynamic academic atmosphere is a wholesome and holistic exercise. This calls for the integration of students in the qualitative processes of the college. It necessitates an innovation ecosystem to improve the skills of students in diverse programs to mould them to become notable change-makers of the society. The aim is to make learning an enriching, fulfilling, and enjoyable experience through a multidisciplinary approach, combining theory and practice in teaching methodology. The focus should be on not only ‘what is taught’ but also ‘the way it is taught’. Research being one among important pillars of academic growth, the thrust has to be on socially relevant, locally need-based, nationally important, and globally significant research initiatives. Creating fertile ground for effective synergies between research and teaching skills, nurturing and fostering critical thinking and problem-solving among students is imperative. Hence, our persistent efforts must be to leverage the intellectual and emotional capabilities of students, encourage the free and spirited exchange of ideas to celebrate diversity, This could be possible only through a collaborative, shared, and consultative work culture. Building on the strong foundation of the college, let us all strive for cautious, consistent, and catalytic improvement in the overall development, paving way for innovative ideas and thinking. Let us all invoke the blessings of Divya Thambathi of Srirangam & His Holiness Srimad Andavan as we march ahead and gear up to myriad managerial, economic, societal, and environmental challenges.
