What our leaders say… Chairman’s Message Sunny Varkey Our Chairman Sunny Varkey, a visionary education entrepreneur, envisages to put quality education within the reach of every learner. In his own words, “Every child has the potential to be great, but few are given the opportunity to explore their true capabilities. Quality education is a basic human right and the key to unlocking the greatness that lies in every child.” He believes that we must lift education standards worldwide. In his ongoing mission to effect qualitative change in society, his philanthropic commitments have helped improve the lives of thousands.
