63rd College Day Report 2014-2015

The year 2014 -2015 marks a historical landmark for the institution as GVG is

crowned with ‘A’ grade by NAAC with a highest score of CGPA of 3.53 in the 4 point scale.

Sri GVG. Visalakshi College stands as an exemplary educational edifice providing

quality education to thousands of women students; mostly from socially disadvantaged

groups for 62 years. It is the philanthropy of our founder Thiru.G.Govindasamy Naidu and

his dedicated descendents, the intellectual genius of Principals and teachers that has made the

GVG college – a seat of social reforms, cultural renaissance, intellectual awakening for the

young women of myriad generations in this part of the country.

see the gaps in some areas where there is a definite scope for improvement. Against this

background let me present the 63rd college day report.
