The formal program began with three Omkars and the chanting of Sahanavavatu by Smt. P. Jeya, followed by a welcome address. In his presidential address, the Chief Guest appreciated the role of VKV in imparting quality education rooted in values. He expressed happiness in interacting with the teachers and proudly noted that VKV students are held in high regard, even at Amity University.
