| Dr M Anandakrishnan,
in his address, said that the education system in the country
relied too much on the syllabus and ensured that students forgot
that there were other things they could interest themselves
in. V S Dhandapani, Managing Trustee, said in his speech that
Sri Sankara Schools have grown from a modest beginning to accommodate
3000 students in the two branches at Adyar and Tiruvanmiyur
