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:
“A bestial and violent man will go so far as to kill because he is under the influence of drink, exasperated, or driven by rage and alcohol. He is paltry. He does not know the pleasure of killing, the charity of bestowing death like a caress, of linking it with the play of the noble wild beasts: every cat, every tiger, embraces its prey and licks it even while it destroys it.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
“The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfilment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness which it is given to man to taste upon earth are, thanks to this angel, the joys of the Family.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
