On this occasion I remember two members of our HL family who left for

heavenly abode this year Ms. Rishita Parmar Mr. Jayesh Parghi. May god give

them eternal peace.

I would also like to mention that three of our colleagues will have retired when

we celebrate Annual Day 2016-17. Shri Maganbhai Parmar, Shri J R Gadhavi

and Dr. N. J Chaniyara. It is only appropriate to the occasion that we felicitate

them for their dedicated efforts over a long span of time towards this institution.

I request Shri Maganbhai Parmar to come on stage and I request Shri Parag

Desai to offer him a memento.

I request Shri J R Gadhavi to come on stage and I request Shri Parag Desai to

offer him a memento.

I request Dr. N. J Chaniyara to come on stage and I request Shri Parag Desai

to offer him a memento.

“And I am very happy to mention that all stake holders of HLCC are working in

unison to achieve the common goal of excellence and towards our motto

“Widening Horizons…”

It is time to say thank you to all well-wishers who have endeavored to carve out

the success story of HLCC’s Annual Year 2015-16. I express my sense of

gratitude to the Ahmedabad Education society especially to Dr. A. H. Kalro, the

Academic Advisor under whose guidance we have charted out our future plan

for Academic as well as Research Activities and to Shri. B M Shah Sir, Director

AES for the unstinting support given by him all our endeavors for the

development of our students and HLCC. I also thank the Heads of all the

Institutions on H L Campus for their co-operation. I express my thanks to the

Alumni Association for their continued support over the years. Very shortly the

sports complex which has been created with the collaborative efforts of the

43

HL Alumni Association and support from AES, will be declared open for the use

of HL’ites. We express our gratitude to the HLCAA and AES for the same.

Last but not the least I thank my faculty, staff and students for all their efforts in

bringing such multiple accomplishments worth celebrating.

Thank you all for a patient hearing.
