Conclusion

We are drowning in information and severely starving for wisdom today. The fast pace of life is becoming a routine where relations, traditions and culture is being lost. Our school provides education for character formation which will ultimately make each child realize the worth of everything around us. The school management ensures an updated learning environment without compromising on the Indian traditional, social and cultural values.

I avail this opportunity today to express a heartfelt thanks to our school management led by the Secretary Adv.S.Krishna Kumar, for their trust in our hard work and self reliance and for their constant support and guidance in all sorts of activities.

We remain grateful to all the parents for reposing their unparalleled trust in us which propels us to march ahead with greater commitment and enthusiasm. The blessings endowed by our Governing Deity Nalloor Vettuvenni Kandan Shastha, in this humble journey of ours is immense and immeasurable.

On this beautiful evening, as we gather here to celebrate the 8th Annual Day of our School, I conclude my Annual Report by entrusting each one of us and our school into the divine feet of the almighty Sree Dharma Sastha.

Thank You.

Jai Hind!!!
