Krishnan’s family is packed with educators of all kinds, committed to spreading knowledge on all subjects (including Krishnan!). None epitomized this more than Krishnan’s father, Sri Govindachari. He was a career educator, both as an influential teacher and as one of the architects of expanding Chinmaya Vidyalaya in Chennai. Sri Govindachari also served as the principal at Chinmaya Vidyalaya.

Teaching was a lifelong commitment for him, having taught even till his last day. Sri Govindachari would have turned 100 on this date (April 4th) and would still be teaching if he could!

In memory of both him and Krishnan, we are giving away 100 scholarships under Project ‘100 @ 100’. The scholarship amount is ₹ 25,000 per student per year and hundred undergrad students will receive this scholarship every year till they complete their degree program. Do read – In Krishnan and His Father’s Memory
