Greetings Nakshatras (2014-15 Batch)

It has been the tradition of CAT-Theni to nurture the best and serve the farming

community to improve their livelihood. Last year has seen tremendous growth in

infrastructure facilities which will ensure that CATians are better skilled than most

of the brethren. Our teachers have done a wonderful job in making CAT-Theni the

most happening place in TNAU.

Credit goes to our students for excelling in all spheres of curricular and co-

curricular activities. Your seniors, the Yakshas brought us glory by being selected to

Post Graduate courses through entrance exam conducted by school of Post

Graduate Studies, TNAU Coimbatore, while three of them are pursuing their M.Sc.

(Ag) at Central Agricultural University, Meghalaya.

Our students performed well in Prabandaz (2015). They also won the coveted ICT

football trophy held at AC&RI, Madurai and Freedom Trophy held at ADAC & RI,

Trichy. Equaling their peers, our students also won the most prizes in competitions

conducted by Nehru Yuva Kendra & Malarum Velanmai Foundation.

All these goes to prove that CAT-Theni is coming of age and could match up to the

already established campuses.

In order to better serve the student community, CAT-Theni management is sponsoring

IAS coaching, certificate course in yoga, enrolling into student group insurance and

facilitating certificate courses in Agriculture offered by TNAU.

CAT management is committed to the welfare of its denizens and will strive to

improve in future.

MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN


CAT-Theni has taken birth on 15th August 2010 in a small way with simple

Infrastructure with 2 class rooms & 2 laboratories. Initially it was only 50 students

strength, now grown upto 500 students, in a span of 5to 6 years. The Institute has

grown with large infrastructure with all round development. The students of CAT-

Theni are proving better both in studies as well as other extra-curricular activities.

Students passed out in two batches 2014 & 2015with flying colours, taking the

Institutes name to sky-high. I pray the almighty to shower blessing for further

growth & prosperity. I appreciate one and all, for bringing Laurels to CAT-Theni.

It gives me immense pleasure to understand that CAT-Theni surpassed all

expressions issue in all-round progress and achievements of various activities in the

college. This year has passed in a flurry of achievements. I would like to take this

opportunity to congratulate all those who have worked hard to ensure success.

I am happy to see the bar is raised even higher by our students each year, as new

batches exceed previous batches. I pray that god continues to bless this college as

well as all the members of CAT, including the staff, students, parents and all those

associated with this institution.

MESSAGE FROM TRUSTEE & SECRETARY

MR. VIJAY BALARAMANM.Sc. (Engineering) (UK)

Managing Trustee

College of agricultural Technology was started in the year 2010 affiliated to Tamil Nadu

agricultural university (TNAU). It was founded by the eminent scientist

Dr. K. Balaraman .His dream and vision is to “Empower Agriculture” through

education, research and service to benefit to the farmers as well as develop new-

Agri. education entrepreneurs.

CAT as its fondly called has a vast campus spanning around 600 acres. The college is

striving hard to produce meritorious students every year. These students are given

good exposure and opportunities of learning practically both at the campus and in

the farmers’ fields. CAT is equipped with good number of eminent faculty members,

well-equipped laboratories, library, hostel, orchards, fields and other facilities to

help them in their development.

Innovative technology used for teaching to help the students in their practical

learning and development. CAT teaches the students the “cultivation of character”,

& to be creative and innovative.

The college proposes to expand to multi disciplinary activities and practicing crop

improvement, self-employment, & entrepreneurship.

It has been an interesting year at CAT. Since the reporting of SWESMA’14 much has

transpired. The students strength has grown from 358 to 436, before it reaches

its full capacity in 2015. This has been a boon to campus, making it more vibrant and

much happening place. Amenities have been improved much to the desire of its

denizens. The net cropped area has increased to 60 ac with diversity of crops

showing an upward trend. Yoga has been introduced to the fresher’s and seventy six

students have enrolled for ODL courses. The gross pass percentage has improved

even though the role of juniors has to be propelled. The teaching faculty has shown

an increase and reached its full capacity.

Alumni “Yakshas” donated musical instruments and thus a musical troupe has been

formed paving way for future CATians’ to develop a musical band. Against 13ICAR

rank holders in 2014, this year saw a rise by 20% to 15 rank holders. It is indeed

heartening to note that Mr. S. Saravanakumar (BSA 11-1531) was placed 13th in

overall rank and would indeed enter IARI, New Delhi another CAT first.

The management of CAT led by indefatigable Dr. K. Balaraman, Ph.D. has been the

implementation of several infrastructural facilities, guest lecturing facility,

equipments and implements etc. not to be undone Mr. Vijay Balaraman, Member

Board of Trustees & Secretary, Madam Mrs. Niranjani Vijay have been instrumental

in providing much needed WiFi Connectivity, provision of sports goods, gym facility in

hostels and excellent catering arrangement. Always for the welfare of the students,

CAT Management gave a fitting farewell to Aviskars (2011 batch) on 20.05.2015.

The students on their part have been hugely resourceful by participating in all events

and garnering prizes, citations as needed. For the first time in CAT history, the ICT

football cup was won along with one silver and one Gild medal in athletic events.

Impressive performance was revealed in PRABANDAS 2014, Pongal telecast by DD

Chennai, malarum Melanmai, Nehru Yuva Kendra Poem Compitition, Vollyeyball

tournament at Ramakrishna Vidyalaya, State level Kho-Kho tournament and finally

winning the triumph held at ADCACRI, Trichy. The staff have conducted the club

events with pomp and galore and a new event Tamilum was celebrated which will be

cornerstone of CAT’s contribution to local flavor. Major events like club inauguration,

CINCOF’14, Sports Day and College Day were celebrated with Daffodils winning the

Overall Championship.

All this goes to prove that SWEAMA’15 will go down the memory lane as a must have

reminiscence for all CATians.
