It is indeed and honor to give a message to the Souvenir of the J/Chulipuram Victoria College Old Students' Association of the Canada Branch when they celebrate 30 years its wonderful service to the upliftment of the college in various ways. Since I have been in the J/Victoria College, Chulipuram Old Students' Association for a longer period, from 1994 continuously holding the various posts in the committee such as Assistant Secretary, Secretary, President and now as a Committee Member, I am aware how the Canada Branch has been functioning and helping to the College.

Whenever we need financial assistance for any works to be carried out in the college, Canada Branch helped us without any hesitation immediately. I can set an example that when we purchased lands for the expansion of 400 meters playground, I recollect my memories how far Canada OSA helped sending funds to purchase the adjoining lands. I do not want to mention the names who were in the front line to do such wonderful works from the inception of the OSA in Canada. Now this ground is the one helping most of the schools in the Valikamam West Area to have their events without any difficulties.

We all are going to celebrate completion of 150 years ceremony soon and action are being taken to celebrate in a grand scale here and we believe OSA of J/Victoria College functioning all over the world also will be proud in participating the same in the coming months. I believe that wherever we go and participate in a forum we all are proud to say that 'We are Victorian'. The Victorians are domiciled all over the world in higher positions showing their colors in different fields.

I wholeheartedly thank the Canada OSA having requested to send a message as a Past President which is highly appreciated and privileged to me to accommodate my message in the souvenir to be published. Let me congratulate your exemplary support to the college in the past and I pray the Almighty to continue to do so in the future as well and your celebration will be a hundred percent success.
