An Appeal
The Ramaseshier
Educational Trust (Regd) established in January 2013, is a non-profit
organization with a service motive. The Registered Office of the Trust is at
54/28, Dr Radhakrishnan Street,
Pattamadai-627453, Tirunelveli District, Tamilnadu.
The governing
body of the Trust has eight prominent personalities who, along with several
other great gentlemen, have been meeting the educational needs of the
more-than-a-century old Ramaseshier Higher Secondary
School, Pattamadai. The school is unique in
the quality of the alumni moulded by it, who have adorned or still adorning
posts of distinction in various walks of life. The 108th Birth
Anniversary of Mr. Ramaseshier, who, with his scholarship, leadership, opulence
and purity in private life, built up the Institution, was celebrated in a
fitting manner in 1977 with Mr. Ramasubrahmaneya Raja, Chairman and Managing
Director of the RAMCO Group of companies, as President. The Centenary
Celebrations of the school took place in a nice manner in 1994, when Dr. K.
Venkatasubramanian, former Director of Public Instruction, Madras, and former
Vice-Chancellor, Central University, Pondicherry, presided over
the function. The Pattamadai boy, wherever he is found-and he is found all over
this vast land and in several parts of the globe is far from being
inconspicuous.
The constitution
of the Board of Trustees of the Trust is as follows:
- Mr. N. Sundarasubramanian, Secretary & Correspondent of the School, Pattamadai – Managing Trustee
- Mr. P A Seshan, ‘Leo’ of the HINDU and President of the School Board, Chennai
- Mr. P N Ramaseshan, Chennai
- Dr M B Athreya, New Delhi
- Mr. P S Ananthanarayanan, Chennai
- Mr. P S Krishnamurthy, Chennai
- Mr. R B Athreya, Chennai
- Mr. V Parthasarathy, Pattamadai
The object of
the Trust is to construct the school buildings and compound walls for the
school playgrounds and to provide furniture and laboratory equipments for the
school. The Trust thereby works for the advancement of the education of the
young, aspiring student community.
As a first step,
the Trust proposes to undertake the project of constructing a permanent
concrete structure, which can accommodate five spacious classrooms on the
ground floor and five on the first floor by replacing the lengthy, tiled
southern shed in the school. The shed, constructed many decades ago, is of late
weakening day by day and has to be replaced. The construction of the entire
building is estimated to cost about sixty seven lakhs. The Old Students,
well-wishers and philanthropists are requested to be kind enough to donate in a
big way to the noble cause and make the proposed infrastructure project a
success. The donors can avail 80G income-tax exemption benefits for their
contributions. Donors residing abroad are requested to send their contributions
in Indian Rupees. The Cheques / Drafts, payable at Indian Bank, Cheranmahadevi,
are to be drawn in favour of The Ramaseshier Educational Trust and sent
to the following address:
