Christian medical college vellore

I n our daily lives we are conscious of two realities: one visible,  the  other  invisible,  and  one  of  CMC  Vellore's stated aims is to help make the invisible, visible. This we have been enabled to do in marvellous ways over the past 110  years.  From  our  founding  story  of  the  young  Dr.  Ida Scudder's call and her whole hearted, enthusiastic response,

to  the  story  of  the  steady  growth  of  the  institution  in response  to  the  emerging  needs  of  a  fledging  nation,  the narrative  continues  and  in  this  volume  we  have  included examples of the people who responded to the call to serve their fellow human beings with love and devotion. We, who are  the  inheritors  of  this  amazing  legacy,  must  not  only remember to give thanks for all that has been, but inspired by the Holy Spirit, continuously re-dedicate ourselves to the task of  building  the  'Kingdom  of  God'  through  the  training  of young women and men in the Spirit of Christ.

One  hundred  years  ago,  in  1911,  the  Mary  Taber  Schell Hospital was getting crowded and the ever increasing patient numbers  stirred  Dr.  Ida  Scudder  to  articulate  her  daring dream of building a medical school for women, so that her

vision of helping to bridge the unconscionable gap between the  need  and  availability  of  women  doctors,  could  be realized. A hundred years later, in 2011, the medical school which was started in 1918 has become a  medical college and there are now nearly 150 different post graduate courses in the medical,  nursing and allied  health  disciplines in which nearly  2000  students  are  enrolled.  Through  the  tireless

efforts of Dr. George Mathew, our Principal, permissions for new courses and increase in seats in existing courses been granted for about  50 disciplines.  In addition, as an organization called to be a channel of God's love and healing, we are conscious of the gap that exists between what we are and what we would be, so we continue to strive to ensure that our growth in size and numbers is matched by a growth in  the  depth  of  our  caring  and  commitment,  in  our effectiveness, our sensitivity and our reaching out. Over the past year each member of our staff and faculty has contributed to the mission and often gone beyond the call of duty in doing so, and I wish to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for this. Finally, I would like to thank and congratulate Dr. Reena George, Deputy Director, Professor of Radiotherapy and Head of the Palliative Care Unit and her team in the Promotion Office who have, over the past few years transformed the Year Book by their amazing talent, zeal and hard work into what it has now become. Their example of setting high standards and maintaining them is something we all admire and wish  to emulate. May God  continue  to transform this community and may we be ever conscious of the great privilegeit is to be called to serve Him.

IIM-Ahmedabad

IIMA

IIMA has evolved from being India's premier management institute to a notable international school of management in just four decades. It all started with Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and a few spirited industrialists realising that agriculture, education, health, transportation, population control, energy and public administration were vital elements in a growing society, and that it was necessary to efficiently manage these industries.

"The result was the creation of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad in 1961 as an autonomous body with the active collaboration of the Government of India, Government of Gujarat and the industrial sectors."

It was evident that to have a vision was not enough. Effective governance and quality education were seen as critical aspects.

From the very start the founders introduced the concept of faculty governance: all members of the faculty play an important role in administering the diverse academic and non-academic activities of the Institute. The empowerment of the faculty has been the propelling force behind the high quality of learning experience at IIMA.

The Institute had initial collaboration with Harvard Business School. This collaboration greatly influenced the Institute's approach to education. Gradually, it emerged as a confluence of the best of Eastern and Western values.
