End of the year is at hand. Annual final examinations are on. Foundation is certain that all our dear students are well prepared and will come out in flying colours. Let us hope that ensuing academic years are hassle-free and students can reach higher levels. 

In line with the progress in digitalization Dr P M Thomas Foundation is striving to go online. All processes right from application of students to the end decision and documentation is proposed to be managed digitally. Approval of certain aspects in documentation is being pursued. Hope Foundation will become digital before next academic year. 

We are with our dear students. Pandemic situation is aggravating and institutions are closing down. But let us all be encouraged and courageous. We may move forward powerfully towards the great vision we all have. No obstacle shall hinder our journey towards our dream.

It is a joyful moment. Foundation touched the first milestone of One hundred Students. It is only a beginning of a great journey and we got to move towards more milestones. We are on the way. However we wish to convey our great gratitude to the society at large for enabling us to enjoy service with  Hundred Dear Students. We move like a family.

It is highly gratifying that a good number of students are committed to have a go at Civil Service Examination. Congratulations dear students. The Foundation will be with you wholeheartedly. It is a good attitude that you have a close look at what you say, write, do or even think before going into it and of course after the event. Attitude emanates from values which is evolving from beliefs. So start an exercise of analysis of your beliefs and values and mould your attitude in positive direction. 

We already are in the new academic year. High School classes are on. Plus one and college admission are yet to take off. All across we have online studies only. Opening of Schools and Colleges are still uncertain. No sign of subsiding in Covid 19 is visible. Our students are facing the new challenging situation confidently but with some stress. As they have their dreams of future, all opportunities are favourably tapped. Let us hope that good days are not far off. 

It is over an year since pandemic covind 19 has been creating havoc in Kerala as well across the World and it is still unabated. Almost all fields of life has been affected and suffering of people continues. At the same time economic depression has come in all over. Low and middle income group of people are struggling financilally in an unprecedented way. Daily wage workers are the worst hit. A recent survey among a few families revealed some painful pictures. Even medical treatment has become a great challenge for few families.

Covid 19 brought forth great change in all aspects of life for all age-groups. We can say that life culture is going through changes. And academic field is greatly affected, both teachers as well as students. Teachers used to be with students face to face but now see them digitally with no idea as to how many more are observing. This puts pressure on them and may need time to adjust. Students similarly see teacher digitally and not seeing all of their mates. And the style has constraints too with doubts, clarifications and environment. Students are also not fully comfortable.

Despite the universal disturbances by Covid 19, New Academic Year opens in June 2020. We all turn over to a new page in life at academic level. We have to come to new commitments and better outlooks for successful journey in the year. Let us all firm up. Students may aim at better academic achievements and higher commitments to values of life as well as own personalities. Let us all join together and begin the great journey confidently.

We are in regular touch with our students. We paid an extra amount of Rs 250/ to each student to enable them to get masks and sanitizers/liquid soap. Trustees contacted the families of all students to assess need for extra support in the context of lock down and consequent  loss of employment. They provided assessment reports in emergent mode. Based on the reports we have provided some more support to very needy families.
