My Dad Lt Col N Chandrasekharan was a man of few words and we rarely heard much about his struggles to pursue Engineering at Annamalai University in the early 40s from him, but we have consistently realized the importance he gave to education.
As he was determined he worked after his HSC (plus 2), presumably in postal / Armed services for a short period, and earned sufficiently to support his education. He also gave tuitions to his classmates to earn for the fees, as pursuing Mechanical Engineering meant not only Tuition fees, but also books, mess and hostel Fees.
We are grateful to the almighty that today we his children are in a position to institute the Lt Col N Chandrasekharan Memorial Scholarship each year to a student in Mechanical Engineering in the memory of our dad from Nov 2020 onwards.
The candidates, Amirul Haqe (B190599ME) and Loyad Joseph Losan (B190090ME) -were selected considering their academic performances and financial condition By NITC for the scholarship this year '2022
The cheques were handed over to the selected students by my brother Dr Sethu Wariyar at Dean SW office, NITC at 4:30 pm on 7/12/2022. The HOD(MED), Faculty advisors of the students, Faculty coordinator of this scholarship and ,Dean SW and the selected students were present at the event.
I was touched when the students wrote back to thank us , and I thought that I should share the same
Gratitude to the Universe, Our Parents , Our Professors in NITC
