MADRAS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE ALUMNAE TO MEET AT OOTY

P S SUNDAR

The Nilgiris chapter of Madras Christian College Alumni Association (MCC-AA) will meet at Ooty on Saturday to enlist greater participation of Alumnae at the 125^th anniversary of the college Alumni Association.

“We have many Alumnae in Nilgiris and this meet will help us draft our strategy to contribute to the success of global re-union scheduled to be held in Chennai in August”, co-ordinator Ravichandran Broos told me. 

“Alumnae can contact me on phone 94435 24078, Devaraj (Kotagiri) 94864 50200, Desingh Rajan (Ooty) 94430 45593 and Sam Mathew (Gudalur) 94430 61309 for details of the meet”, he said.

The  MCC-AA was founded in 1891 and is hailed to be one of the oldest such bodies in the country. 

The illustrious Alumnae of this college include Dr S Radhakrishnan (India’s former President),

Indra Nooyi (CEO, PepsiCo)

and Raja Ramanna (nuclear scientist).

The Alumnae are widespread across the globe and hence the 125^th anniversary lays accent on the global re-union.

This re-union will reiterate the college’s watchword “EweR” where E refers to Excellence and R for Relevance and ‘We’ the student and faculty – which means, the student and faculty will work for Excellence and Relevance in every sphere.
