Following their launches at various places, SJA has chosen VCE students as First Aid Trainees. These Trainees would further be provided with individual First Aid Medical Kits and Identity Cards so as to actively involve themselves in varied lifesaving moments.

      The programme was graced with the august presence of Mr. M.G. George, Director, Sivagangai Community College and Coordinator, Iyarkai Mission 2012; Mr. B. Santha Kumar, Dean-Sivagangai Govt. Medical College; Hon'ble Justice K. Venkataraman (Retd.), High Court of Chennai, Dr. D. Vadivel Mugundhan, Chairman, St. John Ambulance; Er. M.K.S. Sreenivasan, Chairman, Vickram Group of Schools; Dr. S. Nagarajan, Administrative Officer, Vickram Group of Schools;; Dr. S. Kathirrvelu, Vickram Group of Schools.

 

       In George's welcome address, he briefed that a total of 1,000 volunteers are trained—in first aid—in every district and certified to serve during disasters. And also they will be receiving first aid kits and identity cards to provide first aid. M.K.S. Sreenivasan voiced that it's a welcoming sign of involving students in activities apart from academics; and assured he would lend support from the college's part. B. Santha Kumar shared his personal thoughts to the crowd that whenever he does an autopsy, he would regret for the loss of life and has always thought of a way to stop them. Justice K. Venkataraman pointed that it is the duty of every individual to come forward and help the needy in times of despair and emergence.

 

       Dr. Vadivel Mugundan briefed on the duties of St. John Ambulance and the steps the crew takes to reach a wider audience. He said: “In case of natural calamities and other emergencies, the district administration will call in these volunteers to offer first aid till medical experts arrive at the scene.” The volunteers during such calamities will sport a special jacket so that police, revenue officials and the public could easily identify them and offer assistance to them in rendering their service.

 

         Dr. Vadivel Mugundhan's objective is to impart first aid training to college and school students in the beginning, and later covering the entire population. The highlight is that the names of all the trained volunteers have been registered with the collectorate. Following these desriptions, the volunteers were issued their ID's, certificates, and medical kits from the dignitaries. As S. Nagarajan delivered the vote of thanks, the programme came to a fine closure.

 

       As the world turns increasingly materialistic, and mankind reaching toward the very zenith of external progress, driven by an insatiable desire for power and vast possessions, it is our bounded duty to mould and motivate our youngsters to partake in worthy accomplishments.

VCE serves the social cause -Pulse Polio Immunisation Drive

Two drops of Polio vaccine can make every child's life better than ever”- with this Manthra in mind, NSS unit-1 of Our College, with 23 NSS students actively participated in the one day door-to-door Pulse Polio Immunisation Drive which was held on 24th February 2013 at Poovanthi. Thanks to the Government's steps and WHO's assistance, Polio, the dangerous disease which once paralysed millions of children, is now under control and down to fewer cases around the world. To further reduce the menace, our College students educated the villagers and created an awareness regarding the importance of polio vaccination. They convinced the people to have their children immunized. Some of the NSS students assisted the medical team in giving polio drops to the children and some recorded the vaccinations, marking the names and addresses. There can be no doubt that this humanitarian approach will protect the children from the harmful invasion of ultra microscopic disease, in future. With the cooperation from the Doctors and team of the Poovanthi Primary Health Centre, the NSS Programme Officers of our College, have taken great initiative to organize this event. The management has rendered enormous support for the successful conduction of this purposeful programme. This is another step taken forward by our College to serve the social cause.
