The Secretary, DTEA (Regd.)

The Delhi Tamil Education Association (Regd.) briefly known as DTEA was constituted with one student - one teacher in the year 1923. During the last 82 years, the Association has progressed very well by providing quality education to students and now it is running Seven Senior Secondary Schools in its own building in various parts of the city namely, Lodi Estate, Mandir Marg, Karol Bagh, Laxmibai Nagar, R.K.Puram, Moti Bagh and Janakpuri. More than 8000 students with staff strength of around 500 (teaching and non teaching) are involved in the smooth functioning of these schools. The DDA has allotted 2 acres of land at Mayur Vihar Phase-III for opening the 8th branch of our DTEA (Regd.) The management is making efforts to commence the construction work at this site.

The Delhi Tamil Education Association (Regd.) has grown to enjoy an unparalleled reputation in the educational scenario of today. We are proud to be associated with this closely knit fraternity where the seeds of educational enlightenment were first sown by farsighted, visionary educationists.

The schools have come a long way and enjoy a reputation for excellence in academics, sports and cultural activities. This synergy of achievement is borne from the commitment of our well-qualified and dedicated staff, the vision of the parents at the helm of affairs in the Management and the spirit of confidence and dynamism that our students generate. Our motto "Service before Self" finds _expression in nurturing our schools.

The DTEA does not boast of an elite or powerful lobby of parents but it provides education to people of all classes. The sheer number of our students is no disadvantage as they generate a special feeling of camaraderie, of a healthy competitive spirit and resilience to adversity. In the schools run by DTEA there is a place for everyone, from the brightest to the not so brilliant. We believe that each child is an individual with manifold talents, waiting to unfold in the right environment. We have fostered a healthy atmosphere of sharing and caring.

Ours is a microcosm, a very special one, which has been the gateway for many eminent personalities. I am wonderstruck with awe these great institutions inspire. My mission in life is to serve the institution well to see its growing heights in all fields of development, Character and nationalism etc. In this endeavour, I appeal to all the well wishers of the Association, old alumni, teachers and other staff members of DTEA Schools, parents and associate members to come forward and do their might in the growth of the Association. Singlehandedly none can do, as the task before us is huge.

I also welcome well thoughtout suggestions, cooperation and assistance in every possible manner to see the Association grow more and more in imparting quality education to all our growing children.
