Speaking at the 27th annual graduation day at Thiagarajar College here, Dr. Sabapathy Mohan stressed that English was a vital tool to communicate with the world.

Currently, there was a need for young graduates with employable skills; hence students should make an earnest effort to improve their soft skills. To enhance competitive skills they should also take up value-added courses.
