The Josephite family and the heads of the institutions, Rev. Fr Leo Pereira SJ, the Rector of SJII, Rev. Fr Rohan D'Almeida SJ, the Principal were all present to bid goodbye to our dear Vice Principal & Finance Officer Fr. Balaraju SJ.
Fr. Balaraju, a person with a human touch, dedicated to his task, simple in life and able to remain calm under pressure. The respect he showed to each of the staff member ensured that he cared for all, his willingness to listen & eagerness to help ,dedicated service are, undoubtedly nostalgic.

Balaraju .Melodious farewell song was sung by our Non-Teaching Staff which added a charm to the programme. Fr Rector praised Fr Balaraju SJ, for his dedication and hard work.
