    The Department of Counselling Psychology, who has a great responsibility psychologists to care for and to prevent suicides had taken this call seriously and celebrated the day remarkably well. In the Shift I the College students were addressed by Fr. Sanjay, Fr. Selvaraj and Fr. Mani Lazar
    during the morning assembly near Carreno Hall, MCA Block and Golden Jubilee Block respectively. Within a short duration, the message of the day was clearly conveyed through a brief message on the importance of life and how to face the challenges of life. Soon after the talk, the students were asked to take an oath to promise that they will all love their own life and will help prevent suicides in society.
