Dear Shri.Koshy,

It is really a pleasurable journey to have you at the Helm of Affairs to run one of the biggest Institution – ATDC, it has its own aura in the Indian’s Technical Education sector especially in the Apparel Sector and spread across the length and breadth of the Country like Banyan Tree. Under your able supervision both technically and administratively ATDC has reached this level of height and is appreciated by one and all – Govt.officials, Trade Members and Technical Experts etc., Being Director General and CEO you always did a great job –  Contributions, dedications, execution and good results are your forte and reflected throughout your stay like PRISM.

Now, ATDC is running various courses starting from Schiffli Embroidery to Fashion Design Technology (FDT), Apparel Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and many more Diploma Courses in association with various Universities and Govt. Affiliated institutions etc., The milestone  achieved by the ATDC is because of your  sheer dedication and decision making skills as well as the supervision of the ATDC Board. 

Thirteen years journey of yours in ATDC is remarkable and really very much laudable. Also we cherish your active participation in the EC meetings of AEPC as a Permanent Invitee.

We wish all the best and hope you will extend the expertise/advice in future to carry forward the excellent works/service of ATDC further.

Good luck !!!!
