Dear Well Wishers,

We have started a new feature called Be Honest, Be Helping Too from May issue. This will be a tribute for my uncle cum father-in-law Late Shri K.M. Subramanian affectionately called as KMS in his friend circle. A retired Chief Educational Officer in Tamil Nadu Government Service, he was one among the few, whose precept and practice matched perfectly well.

Close on the heels of Mr. KMS, there is one more noble person, who has passed away this month, Mr. P.N. Krishnaswamy, affectionately called as PNK in the Tamilnadu educational field. Both of these personalities have sacrificed a lot for the educational field (some times with the neglect of their family as well). I am one among those beneficial students studied under Mr. PNK. It was under his period, the Kalakad Board high school had a face lift due to his tireless efforts. I used to watch curiously when these two headmasters were talking about their better/bitter experiences in the field. Both would never compromise their values for the sake of their personal gains. Their dedication, commitment, involvement and their selfless service for the betterment of their schools, wherever they have worked, and also for the uplift of the down trodden students ,would always be there in the history of TN educational field.

Some people become great because of the post. Some posts become great because of certain personalities. Posts of Chief Election commissioner by Mr.T.N. Seshan, President post by Dr. Abdul Kalam and the like. The posts of Headmasters become great because of these two personalities - KMS& PNK. It is in no way exaggerated but a sheer fact indeed.
