Endowment

Ms E Mamath a was a bright, cheerful, studious and highly sociable student of the MCA (2010 admissions) batch of the College. One morning, while in the second semester of the course, while she was rushing to the College on her two-wheeler to reach the College in time for writing a Series Test, she met with a fatal accident and her life came to a tragic end. The staff and students of the Department were shell-shocked and it took quite a long to time for Mamatha’s classmates to accept the reality of Mamatha’s absence in the Class. They still cherish fond memories of her cheerful face.

Some of Mamtha’s classmates came forward with a suggestion for instituting an endowment fund for awarding some prizes or scholarships in Mamatha’s memory. Mamatha’s parents, in whose life Mamatha’s loss created an unfathomable sorrow, also suggested some similar activity. After several rounds of discussions, the consensus is to establish an endowment fund for awarding a cash prize every year for the best outgoing MCA student of that year.
