Mysore/Mysuru: S. Balaji, Principal of Sri Ramakrishna Vidyashala at Yadavagiri in the city, was warmly felicitated ahead of his retirement on superannuation at this month end, during a programme organised at the Vidyashala premises recently.
Speaking on the occasion, former University of Mysore and KSOU Vice-Chancellor Prof. K.S. Rangappa, who was a ‘Guru’ of the retiring Principal, lauded Balaji for his discipline, commitment and efficiency.
Pointing out that the Vidyashala recorded cent percent results in SSLC and PUC exams in 22 out of the 25 years of service of Balaji as Principal, Prof. Rangappa said that the Vidyashala hit fame across the State during Balaji’s stint in office as the Principal.
Balaji served the Ramakrishna Vidyashala for 34 years, with 9 years as a teacher and 25 years as its Principal. He has bagged many awards and prizes during his service, including the prestigious ‘Chandana Shri’ State-level award and ‘Best Principal’ award.
