"My parents were very poor. They never had the luxury of buying me a pair of chappals (sandals) or trousers. I was born at the bottom of the 10 slices of the pyramid. It wasn’t easy. But today, I am at the top of the very pyramid."

At 19, Arokiaswamy graduated with a BSc. degree, but could not find himself a decent job. Eventually, he found a job at Gemini Capsules, a small pharmaceutical company in Coimbatore, for a meager salary of Rs 150 a month. He worked there for four years until the company collapsed, and he found himself jobless.

He then joined the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Mumbai, as a lab assistant. After his marriage, Velumani began pursuing PhD. in Thyroid Biochemistry. He quit the government job at BARC and started Thyrocare with an initial investment of Rs. 1 lakh, from his Provident Fund. The first Thyrocare lab was set up in Byculla, Mumbai.

Today, Velumani is the owner of the world’s largest thyroid testing company. Velumani had the conviction that his idea would be helpful to the world and he followed it. It was his self-belief that made him take such a risky step, quitting his job and spending a large chunk of his provident fund and keep moving forward undaunted facing all the challenges that life threw at him.”

Term-break getaway

The 2020 batch students, who are in 2nd year, planned a get-together party after a long time. The end-term exams were over, and few students planned on going somewhere out. Dixit and Sachin came up with an idea to have a party in a farmhouse.

Everyone was excited although it took time to convince everyone. The farmhouse was booked, the party boys and girls were ready. They danced all night. Everyone stayed the night over. In the morning, a vlog was made showing the farmhouse and the experience of the people.

Everyone had fun. And came back with hundreds of memories.

“I enjoyed it to the fullest. It was a great experience”

“The place was good. We will have such parties more often."

At Vijaybhoomi University, we believe education must encourage innovation, social responsibility, and cognitive flexibility. Therefore, we strongly emphasize decoding the knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and abilities that are essential to define the way we will work and live in the future. This, we believe, is the key to preparing our young generation for a future that is sure to be uncertain.

We focus on transcending the boundaries between arts and sciences. Therefore, we encourage learning across   subjects, and our curriculum offers students multidisciplinary new-age management and liberal education.
