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:

    No power on earth or above the bottomless pit has such influence to terrorize and make cowards of men as the liquor power. Satan could not have fallen on a more potent instrument with which to thrall the world. Alcohol is king!
    Eliza “Mother” Stewart (1816–c. 1908)

    The improvements of ages have had but little influence on the essential laws of man’s existence: as our skeletons, probably, are not to be distinguished from those of our ancestors.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We could not well camp higher, for want of fuel; and the trees here seemed so evergreen and sappy, that we almost doubted if they would acknowledge the influence of fire; but fire prevailed at last, and blazed here, too, like a good citizen of the world.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
