George Kulangara, our honourable Chairman,has now grown into a mighty banyan tree. Having started with a single magazine in 1983, we now produce 36 specialized educational journals ranging from the primary level to the entrance exam level courses - all to quench the thirst of the student,teacher and parent communities and to win their hearty admiration.
