Our founder
Five decades of seizing the day.
Dean Shri R. Janardhanan (RJ Master) has taught mathematics for over 55 years. Neighbouring parents who trusted his disciplined teaching asked him to start a school. That first school became three Matriculation schools and a CBSE school, named after his parents.
