3 It is gratifying to learn that G.C.M.T. is going to release a news letter. It is a medium to highlight the Gamut of Academic activities and provides an opportunity to the students as well as the teachers to express their talent and creative potential. Merely, organizing the activities successfully in the academic institution is not enough, what is more important is that these activities must be brought in the public domain, for suggestions and pieces of valuable advice. It is with this motive that the college has blazed a trail in this regard. And, I am sure that the fruitful endeavors of the entire Gagan family would elevate the newsletter to the level of an academic journal. Best wishes. Dr. S.C.
