In the glow of lamps, before the grace of Goddess Saraswathi, tiny palms traced the first Tamil letter on grains of rice. It wasn’t just writing—it was planting a seed, one that promised knowledge, courage, and new worlds yet to be discovered.
New admissions turned into homecomings, with blessings wrapping every child like a gentle embrace. Smiles, prayers, and eager eyes turned the morning into a celebration of beginnings too beautiful to forget.
