About Akshara

PROFILE
Pondering over many domains of education I’m reminded of the prescient words of Winston Churchill who says, “The empires of the future will be the empires of the mind”. Though education is not only the training of the mind, this aspect seems to occupy prominence. It must be surely contested for, “Education is inherently and inevitably an issue of human goals and human values”. Education is the basic ingredient for achieving full human potential.
When Humans understand that good education will aim at economic development, social justice and equality, scientific advancement and cultural preservation and environmental preservation, the world shall be a better place to live and live fully.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
It gives me much pleasure to write few lines in our school’s website.
Ever since I started my teaching career which was my passion, I would like to confirm this inner desire with a Tamil saying.. “தன்னிடம் இருப்பதை தருவது தானம், தனக்குள் இருப்பதை தருவது ஞானம்” possibly this desire made me an exceptional in all the schools I animated over four decades or so.Treat the child with love and respect the child learns and returns the same to whom all it comes into contact. The future of the Nation depends on what we teach them today. Education must be development of healthy relationship, mind kindling learning activities and application in our life!
Wishes in tons!
