UC College was born on June 8, 1921. So, June 8 is the birthday of the college. This year, the date has added significance as it marks the beginning of the Navathi year.

The Navathi thanks giving service on 8th June 2010 was a solemn function. Remembering the founding fathers and all those humble dedicated faculty and staff with a silent prayer; Prof. Suseela P. George, (former student and retd. Head of the Department of English) led the service. Mr. KC Paulose (representing the non teaching staff) and Ms. Nino Baby (representing the teaching staff) read the Bible lessons. The principal, Dr. T. Thomas Philip, introduced the chief guest Rt. Rev. Michael John. In his inspiring message Thirumeni recalled the hard work of the dedicated men and women who toiled day and night following the footsteps of the founders. He remembered the passion with which Prof. Aravamudam Iyyangar described Prof. K. C. Chacko as the Mahatma of Travencore.

Based on 1 Corinthians 3:1-15, thirumeni recalled all those who planted and watered UCC. He also spoke abut the fellowship of the staff, and the value based life of the present staff and faculty.
