Alumni Sports Forum

The Alumni Sports Forum suffered two great losses during the current year. Prof. Jose Kokkad, HOD of Physical Education and Co-ordinator of the Forum, put his toes to the daises. It was under his astute leadership that the Sports Forum could organize all the Alumni Sports Stars Get-togethers. Mr. M.K. Joseph IPS, retired DGP of Kerala, was nonetheless a patron of the Alumni Association and more particularly of the Sports Forum. His death is a great loss to the Association. Mr. Kuttichan Manarkattu, Convener of the Sports Forum, convened a special meeting to pay homage to the departed souls. Dr. George Mathew, Dr. V.C. Alex, Prof. T.S. Zacharias and Mr. Mathew Joseph Thoppan commemorated the departed souls.
