I am happy to be here for the inauguration of the sathyaprayan or the centenary celebrations of St Thomas’ College. In October 1927, I am told that Mahatma Gandhi had come and spoken of the role of St Thomas’ College in the national movement. Ladies and Gentlemen, and Dear StudentsEvery resident of Kerala, irrespective of background, is a stakeholder in the sustained success and the march of St Thomas’ College. In 2017, I had travelled to Ethiopia, as part of my first state visit after becoming President of India. Educational institutions like St Thomas’ College are critical to that journey.
