There was a time when Sikshana ran entirely on the participation of volunteers; it was an era which ended by 2005. Mr Venkatramaiah was a pillar of strength to us in those days. He and his wife worked for Sikshana tirelessly covering the City schools, especially the ones in CSandra and Gowdenpalya. He brought his brother Mr Shekhar Rao into our fold , which resulted in one of the first inflows of funds from a source abroad. This phase also resulted in our sending Mr Satish to Madison in USA. . With advancing age, his direct involvement in Sikshana declined ; but he continued to evince interest in our progress and kept in close contact with all our developments till literally the last day.
Mr Vankatramaiah passed away peacefully after a very brief illness at the age of 82. Through this blog, I acknowledge and place on record our deepest appreciation and gratefulness for his contribution to the evolution of Sikshana; also our heartfelt condolences to his family. May his soul rest in peace.
