Having spent my early years managing a coffee estate in Yercaud and frequently visiting Salem, a picturesque town nestled among hills in Tamil Nadu, I have always been close to nature. I was also inspired by my father, C. Valliappa, undertaking a series of initiatives to establish a clean and green 47-acre campus for the Sona Group of Institutions. His vision included innovative, energy-efficient GRIHA-certified buildings, rainwater harvesting systems, and complete water recycling practices. Sona College of Technology and Thiagarajar Polytechnic has won the AICTE national Clean and Smart campus award.
