Today ( 12/Aug/2018 ) is an important day to KCT as we welcome into our community a large set of students and their parents! We are immensely happy to be taking part in the growth of each of the student and his/her family. Swagatham is an initiation ceremony where they are taken into our hands to be taught, mentored and guided for the next four years, to become the individuals that they want to be with full effectiveness.

How better can the first day of college life begin for the students than listening to Shri Shankar Vanavarayar’s inspirational talk! As they transcend from school to college, a confined world to an expanded world, they listened and imbibed some of the simple yet powerful thoughts and strategies that the Joint Correspondent shared with them to earn a life they want. Not just students, it is enlightening to all!
