Actor Kamal Hassan has appealed to the educated youth to join the entertainment industry as it needed more of them now than before.
Speaking at the inaugural function of Milan 09, an annual national level inter-college cultural extravaganza, at SRM University on Friday, the actor added that they should look at joining the film world only after completing their studies.
“There are a lot of engineers and doctors and the entertainment industry now needs educated young people,” he said.
It did not mean that all of them should end up becoming only actors.
He pointed out that use of technology offers enormous potential for students keen on taking up a satisfying career in the film industry. “It offers many positions for students to pursue their career,” Mr. Kamal Hassan said.
Addressing several thousand students from across the country who had converged at the auditorium, he recalled that he himself had not completed school. “Some people call me a scientist. But I am a high school dropout,” he said as the audience burst into peels of laughter and applause.
His father repeatedly exhorted him to take up studies and to pursue a Ph.D even while being an actor. “I told him that I will do Ph.D someday, but it has never come,” he said, adding that an actor could be an IAS officer or a doctorate too.
Mr. Kamal Hassan made it clear that students should complete their studies

About SRM University

The Valliammai Society was founded in 1975 by Thiru.T.R.Pachamuthu, a well-known educationist. Beginning his career as a teacher, he went on to become the Chairman of one of the largest groups of educational institutions. He has dedicated his life to the cause of learning.
The society has been named by Thiru.T.R.Pachamuthu after his mother Tmt.R.Valliammai, under whose care and guidance he attained great heights in his personal development and whose ideals continue to inspire him. The Valliammai Society runs several educational institutions which are named after Thiru.Ramasamy, his late father. Thiru.T.R.Pachamuthu, Chairman of the Valliammai Society is ably assisted by Thiru.P.Ravi - Co-chairman of the Valliammai Society, Thiru.P.Sathyanarayanan - Vice-chairman and Dr.R.Shivakumar - Secretary.

The Valliammai Society commenced its educational activities with humble beginnings. In 1981, the society took over the Nightingale Matriculation Higher School. In 1984, SRM ventured into higher education with the launch of the Valliammai Polytechnic. The first addition was to herald a milestone in higher education in this part of the country. The year 1985 saw the birth of the SRM Engineering College, one of the most prestigious institutions in science and technology and also the flagship institutions of the group. The college later added the Architecture programme, further enhancing its image. Every year new branches were added on and it has now grown into a full-fledged engineering college encompassing all disciplines of technical education. The demand for entry to the SRM Institute of Hotel Management was so two institutes, one each at Chennai and Tiruchi. The greatest advanage that the institution offered its students was the benefit of a deluxe hotel attached to each of the institutes.
In similar manner was launched the SRM Dental College in 1995 with a full-fledged dental hospital attached to the college. In 1996, the Valliammai Polytechnic received the much-needed relief with the launch of a sister a institution the SRM Polytechnic. In the same year the group made a foray into North India with the launch of the SRM Institute of Management and Technology at New Delhi. The latest addition to the group by the society is the Valliammai Engineering College, the third engineering college of the group, which went on stream in 1999. Hardly a year passes without the addition of new institutions or new disciplines by the Valliammai Society. The society has adopted a firm resolve to offer every possible branch of higher learning and is sparing no effort in realising this vision.
