In his welcome address Mr T Koshy described at length the work of Michael & John Job Centre (MJC) the centre of education established by Dr Job for empowering economically challenged girl children through education. He updated the status of MJC and how it has been able to stabilize and continue successfully in the last one year. He exhorted all friends and well-wishers to support (financially or as volunteers) in taking MJC forward.

Dr (Mrs) Mary Job in her presidential address elaborated how MJC stands for Job’s vision of Love in Action.

Dr Cyriac Thomas Member National Commission for Minority Education delivered the first lecture. The focus of his lecture was “Value Concepts in Public Life”.
