" Flowers bloom in flower
We have heard but not seen . . . "



So goes an ancient poem. Here in Salem there is a flower that has bloomed from another flower. Sona College of Technology is yet another golden flower that has bloomed from the flower "Thiagarajar Polytechnic" which has been spreading its fragrance in technical education for over forty years.

" From pigeon post to e-mail and Internet
From clay tablets to compact discs
From cave dwellings to sky scrapers
From horse drawn carriages to orbital planes
From barks and leaves to super fine fabrics ".



In all these and more, the power of technology for the progress of civilisation is self evident. "Chockalingam Trust" of Salem realising the importance of advanced technology education for the progress of the nation has embarked on this new venture.
