Dear alumni,
Madras Christian College is honored to extend its heartfelt congratulations to Shri Vijay Kumar, IPS (Retd.), Padma Shri awardee and distinguished alumnus of Madras Christian College. A 1975-batch IPS officer, Shri Vijay Kumar pursued his M.A. in English at Madras Christian College during 1973–1975. He has rendered exemplary service to the nation in several critical and high-responsibility roles, including service in the Special Protection Group (SPG) entrusted with the security of the Prime Minister of India; as Director General of Police, CRPF; Advisor to the Hon’ble Governor of Jharkhand; Advisor to the Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir; and Senior Security Advisor in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. This prestigious national honor recognizes his outstanding leadership, integrity, and lifelong commitment to public service.
The College also conveys its warm congratulations to Shri Ramamurthy Sreedhar, Padma Shri awardee, eminent broadcast veteran, and a proud member of the MCC academic fraternity. An alumnus of the College (B.Sc. 1965; M.Sc. 1967), he pursued doctoral research at MCC during 1967–1971 and served the institution as a Demonstrator for two years. His association with MCC is further enriched by his family legacy, being the grandson of Shri Gopal Iyer, a respected member of the MCC Tamil Faculty. Shri Sreedhar's distinguished contributions to education, science communication, and public broadcasting have earned him this well-deserved national recognition.
These national honor's stand as a testament to the enduring legacy of Madras Christian College in nurturing excellence, leadership, scholarship, and a deep commitment to service to society across generations and professions.
With pride and best wishes,
