He has given some basic but important points that will help the students to speak English without any problem. Dr.K.Govindaraju had come outs some steps and lightened “Always start with the basic grammar books of small classes so that the base of your English become too strong..Pronunciation is also a very good factor. Always try to think first what you are going to say. Start reading English newspaper and magazines so that your understanding become better. Always try to consult your problem with your teacher as well as your friends. Try to speak in English with your friends.

Correspondent Dr.K.Govindaraju shared the need for kinder garden schools. He also thanked all the donors for their generous contribution to upgrade the school from kinder garden to Secondary grade level over the years. He enlightened the global economy and the current need for quality education for global completion for jobs and livelihood promotion further said the need for bridging rural and urban areas by providing urban amenities to Rural areas by Societal connectivity, Physical connectivity, Electronic connectivity, Educational connectivity and Knowledge connectivity by quoting Dr.Abdul Kalam.He also insisted that the need for Kinder schools and further said, ‘I still remember my first day at school. I was really scared. I had gone for school directly without going to a kindergarten first. I cried a lot that day. However the case with my son was different because he had gone to a kindergarten before starting school. So he was a confident boy on the first day of the school and had gone to school happily without shedding a tear. In fact he consoled the other children who were crying. Kindergarten schools are essential part of our society now. Parents send their toddlers to these kindergarten schools where the all round development of the children is looked after from the very beginning. The traditional system was to start the child's education in English by teaching the alphabet right from A. But with the coming up of kindergarten schools this has changed. Now the toddlers are taught in English Alphabet in an easier way. First they are taught to make standing lines and sleeping lines. Then they are gradually taught alphabet like L, T and I which are made up of standing lines and sleeping lines. Doesn't this make it a lot easier for the child to grasp the things quickly? Kindergarten schools have lots of advantages. There is a kid whose parents are extremely busy. The "nannies" those are available to take care of the kids. The parents can leave their child with a nanny and get busy with their own work but they will be worrying about the kids constantly. Here a kindergarten and do their work freely without tension for their child. In a kindergarten the child will get to learn how to adjust with kids of his own age. He will get used to the school environment. What's more, he will also develop his emotional and social skills. It is believed that the grasping power of a kid is the strongest during the age span of 2 to 6 years, so why not hone the skills of a child from the very beginning’, he concluded by questioning.
Dr.K.Govindaraju further said that SEVAI School students are exposed to the four basic skills for the success of life, skill to take decisions in a short time, skill to accept difficult situations, skill to communicate what he has in mind to others effectively, skill to work under pressure. ‘Apart from their regular activities specially designed programme, personality enhancement programe gives them opportunity to learn through social activities. All the students are required to be part of this programme. They have to visit industries, agricultural farms, museum and places of historical importance in and around Trichy. At the end of year they have to prepare an adequate project report using the experience they gain out of such visits. Apart from this programme they have to involve themselves in social activities to prepare the students entrusted to them to face the world boldly with justice, equality, liberty and fraternity. A school, which prepares their students only for the board examination will never achieve this end. A school that has futuristic approach knows the difference between teaching for marks and teaching for life. SEVAI School has a judicious mixture of these both ingredients of education. A school will be handicapped if one is totally removed from the other. A student of such a school has exciting experience of gathering more and more skills for his life.’ the Correspondent concluded.
Two hours cultural events were given by the school students from LKG to Higher secondary classes. They were thought provoking and also entertaining their talents. with difference performed by the students. Student Pavithra entertained the audience with a mathematics puzzle. She said that ‘Take any two digit number to calculate its square. For example 28 We know,28 * 28=784, now with another method we can calculate it more faster. At first write square of 8 .i.e 64,Then add the last digits .i.e 8+8=16,Now add this 16 with ten times the first digit of the number.i.e 16 + 2*10=36.Now multiply 36 with the first digit .i.e 2 =72,Thus now we have 72 and 64 (including the 64 we got before),Now write it as 7264,then add the middle digits and get the answer .i.e 784,If you know digits in the square of a 2-digit number & you have got that number of digits before adding the middle digits of number got at last(7264) then do not add the digits as it is only your answer’. The entire elite audience appreciated the initiative of Pavithra performing a mathematics puzzle as an interesting entertainment event.
