My Journey with Mar Athanasius College: A Foundation of Strength and Success
I am Tina Mohan C, and my journey with Mar Athanasius College, Kothamangalam, has been nothing short of transformative. Returning to academics after six years, while balancing the responsibilities of motherhood, was a daunting challenge. However, the welcoming and supportive environment of my college made this transition seamless.
Pursuing my M.Sc. in Microbiology here was more than just an academic pursuit—it was a journey of self-discovery. The unwavering support of my professors, the camaraderie of my classmates, and the institution’s commitment to excellence and innovation instilled in me the confidence to dream bigger. Beyond academics, Mar Athanasius College nurtured my resilience, leadership, and entrepreneurial mindset, shaping me into the person I am today.
This strong foundation empowered me to establish Raha Diagnostics, a fully automated medical laboratory that now operates across four branches, employing 25 professionals and serving over 165 patients daily. The skills and values I gained at Mar Athanasius played a crucial role in shaping my entrepreneurial journey.
Beyond my professional accomplishments, my college also fueled my artistic passion. As a dancer, songwriter, and choreographer, I recently launched Agnika, a women empowerment-themed album. The holistic education I received allowed me to balance my career, creative pursuits, and personal life with confidence.
My achievements, including prestigious recognitions such as:
• TMA-BPCL Rocket Pitch Award – Thrissur Management Association
• Yuva Entrepreneur Award – Taluk Industries Department
are testaments to the power of quality education and unwavering mentorship. I owe much of my success to Mar Athanasius College, which not only provided me with knowledge but also the courage to follow my dreams.
"Mar Athanasius College is not just an institution—it is the foundation of my strength, the catalyst of my dreams, and the force that shaped my destiny."
