OUR INSPIRATION

N.Krishnan, our founder , is the inspiration behind all our endeavours whose visionary zeal and lofty ideals have stood the test of time. Born in the year 1914, his humble background proved no impediment to him in developing entrepreunerial skills and at the tender  age of ten he learnt the rudiments of business by selling peppermint, slates and pencils at school. His  stint as a workshop employee and later as a salesman at the beginning of his career proved to be a brief interlude before he decided to launch out on his own.

Optimistic, courageous and enthusiastic, he made his foray into the world of business in the year 1945 when he made an investment to promote Associated Traders that dealt in machinery and hand tools.       

In 1951,he saw a tachograph at an auto expo in Mumbai and recognizing the versatility of this instrument , he placed an order for six of them on the spot.Thus N.Krishnan, was in a way instrumental in pioneering the concept of the tachograph in India..His business acumen helped him to acquire the sole selling rights for tachographs throughout India from the giant German automobile instruments manufacturer, VDO.1958 saw the birth of International Instruments Limited, for manufacturing dashboard instruments under the brand name Yenkay.

Though N.K studied only till the fifth form in his village, his altruistic nature and the profundity of his feelings towards the cause of education helped him to envisage that better facilities would help in tapping the full potential in children. He established the  Yenkay Education Society in  1973 that would work towards  the educational, social and cultural upliftment of society.

Sishu Griha Montessori & High School , a part of the Yenkay Education Society, took birth in the year 1978 ,the Year of the Child ,with just 6 students on the rolls. The school has over the years evolved into an institute of repute and has 1000 students on the rolls. This Edifice which has become synonymous with home for its students is located in the environs of New Thippasandra, H.A.L.III stage, is headed by Mr. K. Sunderrajan

 

 

“Nothing is impossible for a man when he has absolute faith in himself, the determination to overcome obstacles and the dedication to work towards the realization of his objectives.”
