Message from the Chief Editor - VIS2025 Website
It is with immense pride and great enthusiasm that I warmly welcome you to the official website of the Vidathaltheevu International Symposium 2025 (VIS2025). This website is not merely a digital platform—it is a living, evolving archive that seeks to document, celebrate, and sustain the rich heritage, vibrant culture, and evolving aspirations of Vidathaltheevu and its people, both near and far.
As the Chief Editor of this website, my vision has been to create a meaningful digital space that connects our local community, global diaspora, scholars, researchers, artists, and the youth who will carry this legacy forward. Through this platform, we aim to bridge the past and the future— bringing together generations to engage in thoughtful conversations, exchange ideas, and celebrate shared identities.
This website will serve as the central hub for the symposium, offering updates on VIS2025 events, research papers, scholarly discussions, cultural narratives, and multimedia content that reflect the resilience, spirit, and achievements of Vidathaltheevu. In addition, it will feature the Conference Research Volume and the Sirappu Malar, preserving academic works, community stories, and creative expressions for future generations to access and appreciate.
What makes this initiative truly special is its long-term vision. This platform has been thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind, ensuring that the knowledge, experiences, and narratives collected here will remain accessible well beyond the conclusion of the symposium. It is a space that invites contributions from everyone-whether you are a researcher, cultural enthusiast, student, or community member passionate about Vidathaltheevu.
At this moment, I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to Professor Jeyaseelan Gnanaseelan, Chairman & Chief Editor of VIS2025, for his remarkable vision and steadfast dedication towards making this publication and digital platform a sustainable and enduring resource. His leadership has been instrumental in shaping this initiative into more than just a conference—it is a lasting legacy for generations to come.
I warmly encourage all visitors to explore, engage, and contribute to this website. Together, let us celebrate our shared heritage, foster academic and cultural collaboration, and build a lasting digital bridge that connects Vidathaltheevu's proud history with its promising future.
Thank you for being part of this meaningful journey.
