CTS College is not just a place of study or work, but truly a place which brings people together – students, lecturers, programme managers, staff and employers.

Mr. Ragoonath is not just an administrative figure, but features prominently in the classroom as well. His first love is teaching, as it allows him to build a stronger bond with his students so that they can know him better and understand their needs to better serve them.

Ravi, as he is affectionately called, has an open door policy and enjoys interacting with staff and students. He is extremely competitive and can be seen on sports day on the ground supporting his team. Though not the most coordinated of players, Ravi is very involved in students' activities such as cricket and football competitions.
