Contribution from the University

With the pandemic outbreak of Coronavirus, India has been af-

fected in many ways. Many have come across to fight against

the current situation and give a hand towards the needy. The
teaching, nonteaching and administrative staff of SRMIST too

stepped up and donated Rs. 1.15 crores to help those affected

due to this pandemic. The sum was transferred to the Tamil

Nadu Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund by the Founder Chan-

cellor of SRM Institue of Science and Technology, Dr. T. R.

Paarivendhar, who is also a Member of Parliament of Lok Sabha

from the Perambalur Constituency.

Contribution from the Alumni

SRM Alumni too came forward in this and together they have

donated around 250 packets of essentials to the needy in and
around Potheri. In this present tough time, when the world is

facing the wrath of the deadly coronavirus, our humanitarian

side is resurfacing. Once again with time, the human race has

proved themselves by fighting against this battle together.
The Directorate of Alumni Affairs expresses the hearties grati-

tude to all the alumni who joined hands in helping the needy in

these tough times.
