Good afternoon honorable Chief Guest.... Principal of St Joseph ’s
College, lecturers, inviting guests and Ladies and Gentlemen.
I am proud to remind you, that the most vibrant Deptt i.e.
unified under a single umbrella is “The Dept of Sociology.” And,
it is in tune with our motto; “To Excel and To Serve.” The
deptt deems it a great pride in welcoming aspiring students into the school of Learning
At the very outset, I on behalf of the Dept. would like to
welcome you, dear freshers, into the Dept. of Sociology and also congratulate
each one of you for having successfully completed your Last Exam.
Life is full
of experiences, which makes a person happy or miserable. Dear friends, we welcome
you with a joyous heart to a whole host of different experiences; if you feel
like reinventing yourself at this Deptt, go ahead!
I would like
to emphasize that the Deptt should be a second home for all. We are the Deptt,
and we are keen to make you feel at home right form the outset. The several
hundreds of students, who step into this Deptt, learn to stand joyfully amidst the
ups and downs of life by making new healthy friends
At this time, once
again I request all of you especially the Freshers, to be very active and
cooperative towards the Deptt. And another important thing is that, be regular
in the programmes and its various activities. This is one institution where we
really grow as persons.
The Dept has grown over the years and is still
in the growing stage. As such, the Deptt is at times faced with some problems
and other complications. Hence your kind cooperation and active participation
are very much sought out and needed. Sometimes, we come across some people
pointing fingers to the Deptt with little knowledge of what the ground realities
are. It is my earnest request to you today to come forward any time and give
your valuable suggestions and opinions and be a part of the change for good. We
are always open to criticisms that are constructive and not destructive.
I personally would like to welcome you again, dear friends.
As you begin your stay here, I wish you all the good luck and in your
endeavors. It is my prayer that you finish your stay achieving the
purpose of your coming here. On behalf of the Deptt, I would like to assure you
all possible help, support and assistance. I am also very confident that your
fellow seniors will be paving your way with good examples and guidance. Let us
all cooperate and unite for greater heights “To Excel and to Serve” as our motto
suggests, and build a greater union. No one of us
will be staying here forever, we all will leave for good someday or the other.
So, while we are still here, let us make our stay a memorable one. Let us all
walk and work together in such a way that when we leave the hallowed portals at
the end of our study, we can look back and say, we gave our best to this
institution.
