Every great organisation, be it corporates, institutions, or clubs leave behind a legacy. Round Tables Legacy is its drive to bring Freedom Through Eduction for children all over India. Area 1 has many instances where tables and tablers have put in their all, to make this dream possible. One such story of pain, sorrow, hardship, success and joy comes from Trichy.
Trichy RT 54 and Trichy LC 33 have been associated with a school, 'Kalaipalli Elementary School',
for the last 6 years. This school having been in existence since 1892 was delt a fatal and cruel blow in 2003, when in a fire accident the entire school was destroyed. With the school literally in ashes the children and management had nowhere to go and were asked to shutdown by Government of Tamil Nadu. That was until TRT54 and TLC33 stepped in.
Brick by brick the school was rebuilt. It involved planning and support, not to mention money, but today it is a fine structure with 12 classrooms, a Kitchen Block, a Toilet Block and a Temple. Over and above this, the uniforms for the students are also being supplied by TRT 54 and TLC 33.
But the story doesn't end there; this school has now been declared 'Best School' by Government of Tamil Nadu. This award was handed over by the Honorable Minister, Govt. Of Tamil Nadu, Shri KN Nehru. In his speech, the minister was extremely grateful to RTI and was very emotional about all the good work being done by RTI for the benefit of children and their education.
The drive to make a difference continues to motivate the tablers and circlers of TRT54 and TLC33. They are now constructing five more classrooms at the Ramakrishna Middle School and on October 9th the Ntnl President of RTI and our Area Chairman visited the school.
All this and more have been achieved by a table that celebrated its 800th meeting last week. Kudos to TRT54 and TLC33
