Message from the Chairman & Principal
Dear Future Leader,
As you stand at the crossroads of your life, the
decisions you make have the potential to
change your destiny. It is not merely about
being qualified, but about the knowledge and
wisdom you obtain to carry out your goals.
Finding an institution that focuses on your
future, values your goals, and assists you in
accomplishing those goals is vital. I believe that
you have a definite purpose to fulfill, as per
God’s plan. So come, find that purpose and
embark on your life’s journey of fulfilling that
purpose.
At Kodaikanal Christian College, not only will
you attain an exceptional education that will
make you a qualified graduate/post-graduate,
but you will also be a part of a life-changing
environment that will equip you to be a global
leader and a world changer.
While focusing on your educational needs, we
also strive to provide you with the right
spiritual atmosphere to grow. Through our
dedicated Office of Spiritual Life on campus, we
ensure that you will have a holistic educational experience – mind, body, and
soul.
I have had the privilege of sharing my life with students like you, who are truly
born to lead. They have not only learned to be careful decision makers, but they
have also gained the motivation to walk on the path laid before them. You must
be aware that KCC is accredited by NAAC, the peer team mentioned that they
could see many best practices in KCC, which were very unique. KCC stands by you,
whether you take part in the Republic Day Parade at New Delhi or compete in an
International Karate Competition in Malaysia.
In this new academic year, 2015-2016, I challenge you to strive for the best and do
the impossible. You are born to lead !
It’s not where you start, but how you finish that matters.
So start with the end in mind and
Sincerely,
FINISH STRONG!!!
