Among advocates, senior legal luminaries such as Krishna Srinivasan, Pattabhi Sundar Raman, Vijay Narayan and Joseph Kodianthara were felicitated. N. Ram, Chairman, Kasturi and Sons Limited, M.V. Bhaskar Rao, Former Director General of Police and K.V. Ponnapan, former principal of A.M. Jain College, too, were honoured in the ‘illustrious alumni’ category.
Justice Jasti Chelameswar reminisced the times he spent in the college. “In this hall, decades back, I first saw the film Ethirneechal and the last time I stepped in as a student was to give my final exams. So many years have passed but even now, I get nightmares about giving the mathematics examination here,” he said.
Role of discipline
He reiterated the importance of discipline and said without it, no country or society can move forward. “The achievements in the field of science and technology have translated into industrial growth. But the (administrative) system needs to improve its efficiency to match that of technical India,” he added.
Rector of the college A.M. Jayapathy Francis also spoke.
