Bishop of R.C. Diocese of Kottar & Chairman
I extend warm welcome and blessings to everyone as we embark on an exciting journey with the St. Devasahayam Institute of Fisheries Science and Technology. I am filled with pride and delight as I witness the construction of this institution, which reflects our commitment to education, sustainability, and improvement of society. Fisheries research and technology are critical to the health of our communities and the preservation of our valuable aquatic resources. As we face greater challenges in maintaining food security, environmental protection, and responsible resource management, the necessity for experienced experts in this field becomes increasingly obvious.
St. Devasahayam Institute of Fisheries Science and Technology is not just a place of learning; it is a hub of inspiration, innovation, and ethical responsibility. Our institute stands as a beacon of hope, where students will not only gain knowledge and skills but also imbibe values that emphasize the importance of stewardship for our natural world.
I encourage all students, faculty members, and staff to embark on this journey with a sense of curiosity and dedication. May your quest for knowledge be driven by a deep sense of purpose - one that transcends individual achievement to contribute to the enhancement of our communities and the broader world.
I hope that this institute will produce students who not only thrive academically but also contribute to the long-term improvement of our fisheries and aquatic ecosystems. Let us aspire to be pioneers in sustainable fisheries management, conservation, and research.
I extend my gratitude to all those who have worked tirelessly to establish and shape this institute. Together, we can create a future where the harmony between human endeavours and the natural world thrives. Let us be instruments of positive change and ambassadors of the values that this institute stands for.
May the journey ahead be one of discovery, growth, and fulfilment. May the blessings of wisdom and guidance be upon all who are part of the St. Devasahayam Institute of Fisheries Science and Technology.
With heartfelt blessings,
Bishop
