Maths Carnival 2008 hosted on 15^th Feb. 2008 for 108 students from 14 Colleges in Tamil Nadu offering them a platform to share their understanding, excitement and celebration of Mathematical concepts through Paper presentation, Quiz, Model Making conducted and adjudge by eminent professors from the School of Mathematics, MKU and other colleges.  GVG Visalakshi College Udumalpet won the coveted shield for overall performance.  Teacher escorts had an informal interaction with the department staff.

Ms. S. Priyadharshini III B.Sc. Mathematics had been selected as one among the nine in Level I from Tamil Nadu and participated in the Mathematical Training and Talent Search conducted by the National Board for Higher Mathematics at Mumbai from May 15^th to June 10^th 2006. This year , Ms. B. Kavithakumari had been selected to undergo MT & TS at Mumbai at O level and underwent the course at Mumbai as the only participant from Madurai. This year 6 students have applied for the same.

Final year students had the opportunity of listening to Dr. Mrs. Nachiar, our Librarian, elaborating 'E-Library usage, writing project reports and Bibliography' in July 2007. In August 2007, Dr. Rajaram, HOD Department of Computer Science, TCE, on 'Number theory and network security' as essence of coding theory and Dr. V. Swaminathan, Director of Self financed courses, SN College, enlightened the final year students on "Recent trends in Graph Theory". In December 2007, Dr. Rajkumar Dare, Reader, Department of Mathematics, Madras Christian College, introduced the II year UG students to some applications of Formal Languages in Biology so that they are encouraged to choose such recent topics for their projects. Apart from this our alumnae who are now serving in other colleges interacted with our students sharing their research experience in Graph Theory and Abstract Algebra.

Our students had won the overall shield in five intercollegiate competitions Apex - Sermathai Vasan College, Yadava College for men, Thiagaraja Arts College, Madurai Sivakasi Nadar pioneer Meenakshi College and Yadhava College for women by being placed as first in Quiz.  Paper presentation, Dumbcharades and creating geometric representations.

In this year of Diamond Jubilee celebrations, our department staff were active in organizing and attending workshops on "Professional Competency", "Consultation on contemporary issues in Higher Education and Future Directions", and "Being an Effective Teacher" in the College. They have attended 5 national level Symposiums and presented papers on "Human Rights Education","Cross cultural service learning" and "Topology" at Chennai, Nagercoil and Hong Kong. Junior staff are being trained through UGC / RINA workshops in capacity building and ISO auditing.

Through service learning 11 students & 2 staff from the department spent 15 hours with 50 children in a near by corporation school in equipping them with short cut methods in multiplication, formation of series, non verbal reasoning and enjoyment of maths through tangrams and origami. 25 Students were engaged in helping a NGO, SOCO Trust in sorting and analyzing the data on violation against women and children. 12 students in Astronomy enable school children to appreciate the wonders of the sky with star gazing at the college.

Students and faculty of Mathematics department had a joyous and meaningful time with Dr. Michael Henle, Department of Mathematics & Computer Science, Oberlin College, Ohio. He gave a series of lectures from 8.1.2007 to 20.1.2007.

A State level workshop on Analysis of Algorithms sponsored by the UGC was organized by the Department on 20^th & 21^st March 2007.  24 PG students,12 teachers from other Colleges in and around Madurai, 16 staff from the department and 4 staff members from the department of Computer Science attended to the lecturers by Dr. Venkatesh Raman & Dr. CR. Subramanian from Institute of Mathematics Science, Chennai.  Specific problems and feasible syllabus for a course in algorithms were discussed.

Parent Teachers meet was held on 25.2.2008. About 60 parents participated and were enlightened on the various amenities and avenues available for their wards in LDC.
