Editor's Desk
Dear Alumni,
It is our pleasure to share the alumni related activities through the second issue of TCE Alumni e-Newsletter. The editorial team would like to thank all alumni for their valuable suggestions and encouragement for the inaugural issue.
TCE is not just a name but an emotion. Let us grow together.
Outreach at the time of Pandemic
Shri Karumuttu Kannan , our Chairman and Correspondent and Shri Hari Thiagarajan, our Trustee, met our Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and handed over Rs. 50 Lakhs towards the procurement of an oxygen plant at Thoppur Government Hospital. This facility will provide oxygen support for 50 beds. Our management is always in the front line to support the needy during this pandemic.
Helping Hands of TCE Alumni
The onset of the second wave of COVID -19 has caused irreparable damage to many lives. And in the unfortunate event of the passing away of an alumnus, this loss is felt by their families. We stand in support of such alumni families.
Hence, TCEAA (TCE Alumni Association) members have come together and introduced support under its "ALUMCARES" which includes Compassionate Support, Medical Insurance Coverage, Child Education Support, among other benefits in order to provide financial and non-financial assistance for supporting the dependents of the deceased alumni. This will help the family when they most critically need it in order to rebuild their lives and get a better place for their children.
