Ernakulam Town along with two experts from NCERT, Professor Indrani Bhaduri and
Dr.Vijayan. We saw that the students were fully involved and engaged in learning. After
visiting the school, I thought how true the ancient Chinese proverb, “Tell me, I

LPS Thrikkanarvattom were really amazing. They could read Malayalam with
comprehension, do basic operations in Mathematics and read and communicate in
English and Hindi, and of course enjoyed singing songs in their mother tongue.

NCERT wrote in the School Visitor's Book:
