SCAD Group of Institutions

As SCAD Polytechnic College enters in to its 25th year of existence a feeling of joy, a spirit of oneness and a sense of gratefulness pervade every member of the SCAD family. Twenty-Five years is not a very long period in the life of an institution, but it is a landmark that makes us look back with gratitude at the path trod by our SCADians.

It was on 1997 that the portals of this institutions were thrown open for the people of Rural areas in and around Cheranmahadevi in the motive to Reach the Unreached, to make a SOCIAL CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT, thus got the name SCAD with 150 students’ intake in 4 departments in Polytechnic College. Today it has grown and blossomed many folds into a reputed centre of Technical education in southern India.

As a Founder, I always remember of Gods’ intervention in the making of this college: “God said let there be light and there was light, God said let there be SCAD College and there was SCAD College”. That is the conviction with which I built this college. It is a college created by God out of nothingness. An institution created by God for His divine purpose. Let His will prevail. Let us strive every nerve to uphold the values, ethics and traditions.

Let us inculcate the vision and dream in the future course of the institution. We remember with heartfelt gratitude the hard work and toil of all the teaching and non-teaching staff who have served and serving us for the last 25 years.

We pray the Almighty that His grace and His guidance will continue to lead us in times of good and bad, ups and downs in the future. This is not only an occasion to look back with gratitude but also to look forward with renewed vision and revived commitment to the work that lies ahead. May the time of Jubilee be a fruitful and meaningful one to take up new responsibilities in order to carry out new mission in this competitive world. I wish the Souvenir Committee members and all the members of the SCAD Polytechnic all success and prayers.
