CHENNAI: Students of Corporation Girls Higher Secondary School in Saidapet now have a computer laboratory.

The laboratory has been funded by the Rotary Club of Madras South and Ford Business Service Centre. They jointly donated 15 computers and accessories on Monday.

Achievements

The School has been one of the few government-run schools that has consistently produced good results in the past several years. Quite a few of its students have taken up professional courses such as engineering and medicine. The school's students have won the `Talk your way to Japan' for five years consecutively.

Sumito Mulchandani, managing director, Ford Business Service Centre, Rotarians R. Raja Ramakrishnan, S. Balachandran, P.R. Prasanna Varma and other senior officials of the Centre participated.

The Rotary Club of Madras South has been associated with the school's development for the past decade.

Alumna Tasleema Ansaria, a first year engineering student at Anna University, Guindy, and Priya, a student of the school, spoke. Ms. Tasleema told her juniors that the profession they would choose was only for a living but it was what they achieved through the profession that was more important.

She said she would like to "do what I can to help" the teachers who devoted their time and energy for the benefit of students.
