Ms. K.S.Janani of I B.Com introduced the Chief Guest. The Guest of honour Dr.R.Kavitha Sankar, Chairman, Rasipuram Municipality, asserted that leadership, a fine quality is both art and science and is built by self-confidence. She said that to become a leader one should be a reader. She continued that though women face hurdles both in family and society, they shine as successful leaders by framing their own principles and following them without any compromise at any cost with great responsibility. She then said that a genuine leader is not a searcher but a moulder of consensus who always seek a solution for problem or convert them into opportunity to prove their leadership. She also listed the qualities of a good leader such as right decision making, thinking out of box, kind enough to switch bad into good concept, involvement, confidence in tackling problems and most of all bearing pain. She further cited Sudhamurthy and Manya Singh, the rising stars who worked hard enduring pain and humiliation to make their dreams come true. She then insisted the students to attend competitive exams apart from focusing on getting a degree. She concluded her speech by asking the students to fix a target, move forward with hard work, be disciplined and wished them all success by making positive feedbacks by their actions and fly high in their life.
Smt.Mangai Natarajan, the Correspondent of Paavai Institutions felicitated the gathering.

She inspired the students to overcome the financial, biological and mental issues undergone in pandemic period. She evocated Paavai Mantra “Own our words and deeds” which has now become a global living concept.
