AGM of Methodist Central College PPA 

Principal lauded for his achieving international honour

Batticaloa roving correspondent

One should rejoice in the unique achievement of your Alma Mater, Methodist Central College, Batticaloa, which not only gave the nation as many as seventeen Members of Parliament, two Cabinet Ministers, and what is noteworthy is that among the seventeen were Tamils, Muslims and even a Sinhala representative who served in Parliament, said Prince Casinader, President of the Past Pupils Association of the College at the Annual General Meeting held at the Cartman Hall.

He said that while the Association was proud to have its past pupils holding high posts such as Deputy Secretary to the Treasury, and the Chief of the Police Force, our pride why not less of our old boys serving in humblest stations of life as clerks, peons who hold aloft the principles of high conduct imbued at this college.

Casinader also lauded the very high international honour bestowed on the present Principal K. G. Arulanantham who had been selected at international level by the International Biographical Centre (IBC) at Cambridge, the 21st century Award for Achievement and the award of a medal.

After the presentation of the yearly report by V. Gunaratnam, the Secretary and the Treasurer's report by S. Vivekanandarajah, following were elected to office for the new term: President: P. G. Casinader; Vice Presidents: M. Sinnalebbe and K. Sivaganesh; Secretary: A. Gunaratnam; Asst. Secy: P. Sureshkumar; Treasurer: S. Vivekanandarajah. Eleven others were elected to the committee.
