    Very pleased to learn about the visit of Fr.Valerian to the Gulf region. We have visited this prestigious and well designed College and were very impressed with the entire concept of Engineering studies that will not only benefit the children of Indian expatriates residing in the Persian Gulf, but also for many young Arab students. It is about time for the Arab Shaikhs and Princes, as well as the private sector to patronize our Educational Institutes in India and reciprocate all that India offers for the Arab world.

    I would like Fr. Valerian to extend an open invitation to many Arab friends in the U.A.E. because the future progress lies in the close intellectual collaboration between India and the Arab World. SJEC, under the direction of the Bishop as well as Fr. Valerian will shine year after year. Vamanjoor will gradually turn out to be a Tourist Town with the help of SJEC as well as "Pilicula" in the close vicinity.
