The Narayana Schools is the brainchild of Dr. Ponguru Narayana, who has been dedicated to making education more accessible since 1979. He wants to make sure that every child in India has the basic foundational skills to become successful in the future. The school has been providing students with education, life skills and other important facilities to help them achieve greater things.
Born in 1956, Dr. Narayana hails from Haranathapuram, Nellore. After completing his higher studies (M.Sc. and PhD), he started to work part-time as a lecturer at VR College, Nellore. During this period, he learned about all the strengths and weaknesses of the Indian education system.
In 1979, he started the Narayana Tuition Centre in a small rented room. What started as a tuition centre with 5 students has become Asia's largest educational institution. There are more than 800+ schools, colleges, coaching centres, and professional colleges spread across 230+ Cities in 23 Indian states. These are supported by 50000+ educators who are constantly teaching and guiding 600000+ students.
Dr. Ponguru Narayana also served as the Cabinet Minister for Municipal Administration & Urban Development, Urban Water Supply and the Urban Planning Department. He applied his critical thinking and intellectual prowess to develop a technologically driven and environmentally sustainable city for the people of Andhra Pradesh.
His success story is an inspiration for all of us at the Narayana Schools. He came from a normal middle-class family, but his aspiration took him thus far.
