Speaking on the occasion the Vice Chancellor, Prof. T K Kharbamon spoke about the spirit of Christmas and how this is a special time to spread joy, peace and love to everyone.

She also added thatintelligent and educated people who are respected by the society can do so much to uplift the condition of lonely and the destitute and she compared them to the three wise men who brought gifts for Jesus Christ on his birthday.
A “Santa sleigh” was organized for the staff and students to donate gift items for the members of the Blind Lead Trust. The donations include clothes, shoes and several other gifts from the students, faculty and staff of MLCU for we believe that giving is a way to mark the special occasion and it makes Christmas more meaningful.
