It is with great pleasure that I present the Annual Report of the activities of Paavai College of Education for the academic year 2018-2019.
The College started functioning for the current academic year on 06th September -2018. The inaugural function was chaired by the Respected Chairman sir, and the Kuthuvilakku was lit by the Correspondent Madam. As a great gesture of giving divine respect to parents, the B.Ed students performed Padha Pooja to their parents who have accompanied them for the inaugural function
As a testimony to our sincere efforts, this year also, the institution has been crowned with 100% results, which include numerous first classes with distinctions both in practical and theory examinations held in the academic year 2017-2018
One of the special features of this college is that every day after Prayer, two students give a talk on any topic for five minutes in both languages. Tamil and English news reading, Dhinam Oru Thirukkural, and a Proverb are given by the students in order to improve their communicative ability.
Another feature is the “Talent Search Programme” in which the Students are divided into small groups to undertake different cultural activities every week one after another to exhibit their talents. The motto for the programme is that, “NO Student is Left Behind” in the College activities.
A number of other programmes have been carried out as mentioned below.

On 22th October, 2018 Saraswathi Pooja was celebrated with usual joy. As per the mythological stories, it was on this day that Goddess Saraswati created powerful weapons to kill the demon named ‘Magishasuran’. The weapons were then considered to be Holy and people
began to worship them. This tradition is followed till date and began to be celebrated as ‘Ayudha Puja’. On this chosen day, people worship their tools and weapons, used in day-to-day life.
During the Navratri celebrations in South India, the first 8 days are dedicated to varied forms of Goddess Shakti and last day is devoted completely to Goddess Saraswati.
The students drew the Portrait of Goddess ‘Saraswathi’ in Rangoli. At the function, the students chanted religious songs and 108 Namavali while offering flowers and Naivaithyum to Goddess Saraswathi. As a special performance, the students arranged a Golu with different types of dolls on this occasion.
