Secretary’s Message:

Dear Friends,

Professionalism is the hallmark of

Management Education. It applies to faculty

as well as students. One has to choose a field

of interest and dig deep, that means one

should find his/her own academic Niche.

Further knowledge and experience can be

enhanced through Networking and

documentation. Programmes organized with

a view to promoting professionalism should

be an integral part of the academic activity.

I do hope this objective is being realized at VIMS as reflected in the Newsletter.

Yours sincerely,

DR.V.KULANDAISWAMY, Secretary and Correspondent, VIMS.

Director’s Message:

Every day is a new opportunity. You can build

on yesterday's success or put its failures behind

and start over again. It gives you the opportunity

of being totally immersed, turning back into

yourself in a good way. No matter whom you

are, what you like, where you come from, you

can make it. Look for ideas and trends that match

your interests and your skill set. That is

opportunity to success.

“If the mind is intensely eager, everything can be accomplished—mountains can be crumbled into

atoms”. – Swami Vivekananda

Let me take the opportunity through this newsletter, to thank all our faculty members, students, friends

and industry people who supported us. I look forward for your suggestions and future contributions to

make this newsletter a harmony. Wish you all the best.

Dr.A.Valarmathi, Director, VIMS
