On 2nd December Reverend Father Khoren Hovhannisyan, pastor of the Armenians in India and manager of Armenian College & Philanthropic Academy organized a special meeting with the five college students who have passed out from Armenian College. The meeting was a warm and cordial one. Father Khoren, their guardian lent an ear to the various challenges that the wards are facing in the new surrounding, and how they overcome those difficulties to win accolades in their respective fields. "Be forever proud of your Armenian roots. The Church is bearing your financial expenses because you all are Armenians and the children of Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. I hope you shall realize its value and be grateful for their generosity. When you grow up try to give back a little of what the Armenian Church and its people have given to you," advised Father Hovhannisyan.
