From Meera Suresh's Desk

Batch 4 of ATE classes for P.G in Multiple disabilities is going on in earnest. The weekend classes of Inclusive classes have completed. The New batch of inclusive classes on weekdays started from Feb. 7. A review meeting with the weekend faculty members was held to discuss the portion completion and classroom status. Guidelines for on-job training have been given and students have been sent to different units/schools for the same. Handouts and formats for the OJT were given and explained. Letters for a few who were doing their OJT outside of V-Excel were also given with the expected reports from the concerned schools. Preferred timings were taken from the candidates regarding their OJT in coordination with the units .

Mobilization activities have been taken up since admissions have to be concentrated for the batch to be commenced in June. Letters and personal appointments were made to meet the HOD/Principals of schools and colleges. Prof. Anand and Bhaskaran visited Seesha, a TMF partner centre, to understand its functioning. Bhaskaran also visited Presidency College, Soka Ikeda, Ethiraj College, NKT college, MSW and Pachayappa's handed over letters to the HOD to request us to address the Final year students. The confirmation is pending from the colleges.

Mrs. Meera Suresh addressed around 40 Class 12 students of Lady Willington School on awareness about the course and the job placements available thereafter. The Principal and the class teacher have promised to send the students with their parents to meet us after the Board Examinations. This meeting was made possible by Mrs. Rama Nagarajan.
