Respect your teachers and parents, students told

CHENNAI: Violin maestro T.N. Krishnan on Saturday exhorted students to respect their teachers and parents. Speaking at a function organised by Sri Vidyatheertha Foundation, Prof. Krishnan urged students to work hard and be attentive in class.

He presented the Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatheertha Mahaswamigal Rolling Shield for the junior level to students of Modern Senior Secondary School.

This is the second consecutive year that the institution has won the shield for having the maximum number of prize winners in the essay writing contest.

The second best team award went to the Hindu Senior Secondary School, Indira Nagar.

The Foundation had organised essay competitions for students in the junior level (Classes VI to VIII) and senior level (Classes IX to XII) in the first week of July.

A total of 1,320 students took part.

Chairman and Managing Director of Metrohm India, K.K. Ramasubban, the guest of honour at the function, said education would not be complete without literature, culture and patriotism.

Managing Trustee of the Foundation R. Krishnan and trustees L. Narayanan and S. Murali were present. An on-the-spot quiz competition was conducted for students at the venue.

The Foundation, set up in 1991, has been conducting competitions from 1995. The foundation also sponsors the education of 100 orphans at the Sarvodaya Illam and provides scholarships to poor students, who learn the Vedas.

The Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatheertha Mahaswamigal Rolling cup for senior level students was also won by the Modern Senior Secondary School.

The second best team award went to the Sri Ahobila Mutt Oriental Higher Secondary School.
