Dear Devotees,

            Sub: Sri Ramakrishna Math National School, Mint, Chennai-79 - Repairs - Request for donation

            Trust this finds you well.

           Sri Ramakrishna Math National School, Mint, Chennai-79, a Primary School with classes up to V Standard, was founded in the year 1906 by Swami Ramakrishnanandaji, a direct disciple of Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna, who also established our Chennai Mylapore Math. The School was founded basically to cater to the needs of the poor and downtrodden girls residing in and around the Mint Area. Swami Vivekananda always emphasized the need for educating girls to make them independent and self-reliant. Presently the School has strength of 505 students, about 95% of them are below poverty line. The School is very popular among the locals. No fees are charged to the students. Notebooks, uniforms and mid-day meals are provided free of cost.

         The building housing this 103 year old institution having classes up to the primary level (5th Standard), is in urgent need of repairs. Immediate repairs are required to be carried out in the Toilets, Plumbing, Electrical installations, infrastructure facilities and in the Lunch room and Kitchen of the Childrens's Creche.

       The total estimated cost of the repair work to be carried is Rs.13.00 lacs. We request you to kindly join hands with the Math in this noble venture of extending education to poor girl students. We shall be glad to provide you any further information that you may require with regard to the repairs to be carried out.

          Donations are exempt from Income Tax under Section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act.

          May the blessings of Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna ever be with you and yours in your earnest prayer to HIM.
