Hyderabad, June 2

VETA, the English training academy, has launched its REACH, a movement to spread fluent English. It would be a new initiative to promote home study packages, its Executive Director, Mr K.V. Rajan, told newspersons here. With 90 centres across the country and nearly 1.8 million students, VETA, started in 1981, is among the largest English teaching academies. It plans to expand to 300 centres by the end of financial year 2009, he said. VETA, the Chennai headquartered organisation, would be sponsoring home study packages to 25 students selected from a Hyderabad-based non- governmental organisation (NGO). It has 7 centres in Hyderabad and plans to expand in the State. Mr Rajan said the academy had recently launched the National Training Centre in New Delhi.
