Ms. Asia Mariam, IAS, said, “The School Students have demonstrated amazing zeal, confidence and oratory skills in this competition. Even today, there is a misconception that corporation school students lack the ability that builds self confidence and stunts the growth. But, this “Wings to fly” program organised by the The Rotary Club of Madras East clearly proved that these students can stand their grounds against any competition provided they are given the opportunity. Congratulations to the winning students and the Rotary.”
Former DGP Mr. R. Nataraj said, “What these children lacked in comfort and lifestyle, they made up by their dedication, devotion and determination. All these children are living examples like our late President Dr. Kalam and are aiming to reach the sky.
