A Legacy of Empowerment(05/09/2025)

 Remembering Dr. Elizabeth Thomas – A Legacy of Empowerment

On this day, we fondly remember our beloved founder, Dr. Elizabeth Thomas, whose vision gave birth to Chevalier T. Thomas Elizabeth College for Women. Since its inauguration on 27th June 1985, her dream has empowered generations of women to rise with confidence and knowledge.

Though she left us on 5th September 2006, her spirit continues to guide the institution, inspiring us to uphold her values of education, empowerment, and service.

As CTTE celebrates 40 years of legacy, we honor her memory with gratitude and pride, carrying her vision into the future with renewed strength.

As a tribute from the Chemistry Department, our students enacted the lives of inspiring women leaders like Mother Teresa, Malala, and Sunita Williams—a gesture of respect, honor, and commitment to the cause of women empowerment.

Her life reminds us: empowered to empower, her vision lives on forever.

World Coconut Day (02/09/2025)

 Celebrating World Coconut Day 

Today, the Chemistry Department specially observed World Coconut Day.

Maria Jenifer J of II B.Sc Chemistry delivered an insightful talk on the chemistry of coconut, showing how science is embedded in everyday life.

Our students also discussed and reflected on an article by Mr. P. Thulasi Narayanan, State Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Farmers Association, published in "The Hindu-Tamil Thisai." This enriched the session by linking science with culture, economy, and society.

In his article, Mr. Thulasi Narayanan beautifully highlights:

The scientific side: antiviral properties of lauric acid & monolaurin in coconut oil.

The cultural and historical depth, from ancient Indian texts to Marco Polo’s travel accounts.

The economic role, India’s global leadership in production, coir exports, and farmer livelihoods.

The current challenges are climate change, pests, fair pricing, and the need for stronger government support.

Coconut truly lives up to its name, “Kalpavriksha”, the tree of life, enriching health, culture, economy, and sustainability all at once.

A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Thulasi Narayanan for voicing the immense value of this tree and the concerns of our farmers.
