Sample of retirement farewell speech for principal?

say good bye and hope that you have enough courage not to cry.

Respected Chief Guest and the principal of this college Mr.Jasti Rmesh, and college correspondent Mr. Talluri Veera bhadra rao garu, all members of the college elders and our well wisher, my friends, and all the invitees, finally and mainly our revered sir, Mr. Sivannarayana garu who is honoree and recipient of the felicitation on occasion of his retirement, all of you good evening.

My name is Sunil. I was an old student of this college. I studied degree during the years 1990-1993.First of all I would like to say my whole hearted thanks to all of you for giving me this chance to speak in presence of all the elders and all the invitees. It is honour to me to have a chance to speak a few Words on this occasion here.

Today is very happy day that I attended this felicitation program and also our sir Mr. Sivannarayana is going to take rest for rest of his life after striving hard for the development of our college. And today is also a sad day that we are losing the great commitment and work dedicated person. The future coming students won't have the opportunity that we had.

He is the man who dedicated his whole life for the sake of the students and the college. He has been working in this college for 33 years. During this period he might have faced many difficulties but he could never have expressed in front of the students and the staff. His hard work made him success.

When I joined the college he only the person who was taking care of admissions then I consulted him for my admission. At that time seats were very scarcity. Then our sir only helped me in joining CEC group. The main reason I took CEC was Our sir Sivannarayana. I came to know that he was good at Accounts and income tax but very strict and disciplined person. And all my well wishers suggested me to take CEC. Then I took it. Every student including me and every person was afraid of him. Even now also I am afraid of him. When I see him, I stumble and I can't get Words. It is only the respect we have on him.

There is a saying "Face is index of the mind" but it is not applicable in his case. Because he seems as if he were going to beat us. But his heart is butter like. He never hurt anyone and won't. The future lecturers and students are supposed to take him as an ideal person in their lives to achieve their goals. I learnt accounts and income tax from him. In fact, I didn't even know what the meaning of Tax in those days. After learning taxation from him I knew what income tax is. Then I wished I also taught any subject like him. My dream came true. By the grace of God and our sir's inspiration I fell in the same field. I like teaching profession very much. Whenever I teach new sub I remember our sir, Sivannarayana. Then my work goes on well without obstacles. There is a lot to tell about him. Our sirs and seniors already told about our sir. If I keep telling like this there is a lot. There is no ending. In fact I wanted to speak a lot but I can't get Words.

Out and out I would like to say one thing that as I have said earlier everyone must take him as an ideal and pioneer person to achieve their goals. And once again I thank all of you for giving me this chance. Thank you very much to all.
