First time in India BSS is organizing a 2 year Diploma course in the field of, pathology technicians dealing with preparation of microscopic study of tissues and mounting of anatomy specimens when so far, it has never been done. The people who never had any formal training are realizing the importance of preservation of data, 3D printing specimens and so on. We aim to create an employment eco-system in the village areas so people can take up dignified jobs whilst also serving the society for a greater good.”
 
He further adds, “Unlike in previous time we do not want it to be lost like our prestigious Nalanda and Takshashila. This is the first attempt in educating our students from the villages  under the Ministry of Skill Development.

Sharing his thoughts on the occasion, The guest of honour, Mr Sag Moeson, Director of Vocational Education & Skill Mission, Bharat Sevak Samaj, said, “It is great to be here for the graduation ceremony of these students. Bharat Sevak Samaj is a national development agency established in the year 1952 by the Planning Commission of Government of India and BSS certificate is attested by Ministry of External Affairs, Govt. of India. When Dr Cherian approached us for new courses on Anatomy & Embalming Technicians and diploma courses for Autopsy and curator, I was very happy. We immediately took this idea to the concerned authorities, got approval from the central government. The next day we gave out advertisements in reputed papers across Tamil Nadu and kick-started the program. We hope more students benefit from this program and many more graduate the next year.”
