Message from Principal

“Future is not someplace we are going to – but one we are creating”

To be a teacher is to touch tomorrow. A good educational institution

staffed with well-motivated organized and responsible school faculty is
vital for well-being of future generation. We at Velammal Vidhyashram
Mambakkam aim to provide such coordinated inclusive and qualitative
education that will help children to achieve success and become wise
human beings. It has been constant endeavours to develop an education
system that not only nurtures talent, but also shapes child’s personality in
line with 21st century learning skills. Despite several hurdles, be it Covid -
19, the turnaround of the school into virtual platform, Velammal
Vidhyashram Mambakkam with its silent resilience and determination to
excel has successfully overcome each challenge heroically.
Our digital journey though daunting, has been progressive, dynamic and
fruitful in many ways that has promoted the inclusive development and
accelerated the advent of intelligent minds. Young Velammalians have
not only made their parents proud but also have demonstrated that, if
nurtured in the right environment, sky is the limit.
We hope and pray that each velammalian blossoms into a confident,
contended, socially responsible and brilliant individual equipped to serve
their brethren in a world that is fast changing and ever evolving. By
Blessings always! Principal | Velammal Vidhyashram

effects on students learning experience. Incorporating role
play, collaborative work ,picture puzzles allows for a
learning experience that will not only allow different
types of learners to learn but will enrich every individual
learner’s understanding of the concepts.
