Influence
DTEA schools, or Madrasi schools as they are known in Delhi, have had a presence of their own in the national capital. For the vast colonies of Tamils, the network of schools under the DTEA have been a lifeline institution in the capital, providing quality affordable education.
These schools had provided quality education to countless south Indians in Delhi, particularly Tamils.
Over the years, given its record of performance in the Board exams, it has attracted students from other communities as well, particularly at the high school stage when Tamil is not a compulsory subject. The schools have helped bring education to poorer sections of the community.

Famous quotes containing the word influence:
“To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has “never had a chance, poor devil,” you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.”
—Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
“Who shall set a limit to the influence of a human being? There are men, who, by their sympathetic attractions, carry nations with them, and lead the activity of the human race. And if there be such a tie, that, wherever the mind of man goes, nature will accompany him, perhaps there are men whose magnetisms are of that force to draw material and elemental powers, and, where they appear, immense instrumentalities organize around them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
