Twin-fold success

​

When an individual`s success story becomes synonymous with the genesis and growth of an institution and when both attain national and international fame , the twin-fold success stories become historic, they become etched in the annals of history for generations to emulate.

​

One such individual is Smt.Rajalakshmi Parthasarathy popularly known as Mrs. YGP (Padmashree Dr. (Smt.) Y.G.Parthasarathy) and the institution she built brick by brick is Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan (PSBB) which is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education.

Her foresight in establishing labs for Math, English, and Social Science three decades ago is a testament to her vision as an educator.
