Varnam means colors in Tamil language. At SMOT our batch(PGPM4T3'08) was inspired by our professor Mr.R.T Narendra.He was very impressive in his lectures and he gave us the freedom to prove and innovate. His words were motivating and filled with passion.He tells us to CELEBRATE LIFE and we did celebrate every interaction with him .Here are few comments given by my friends Ulagammai (Ullu) and Vishal.It tells everything about him and his interactions with us.

Most days I'm so happy to attend your class & know your message, and the days on which when your classes are not conducted for that positive message are the ones when it's most important and useful to me for your words to be waiting there in my inbox to kick me out of a negative groove.
Hats of to you & the changes that you have done to our thinking pattern which has allowed us to be a good human being.The Best part is that this is just the beginning & there is still lots more to hear & learn from you & this what drives us every morning to reach SMOT - Vishal Bothra, SMOT Student.
We have seen many teachers from schools to college who treated teaching as a profession and taught mere lessons from the books, we compare this to the tablets and strup given by the doctors to cure our illness, but you are different, you have taught the world to us and made us discover ourselves,we would compare you to kamal hassan in vasool raja mbbs who gave a new version to curing illness "kattipudi vaithiyam". Sir you are great and we are very thankful to you. - Ulagammai, SMOT Student.-----------------
Mr.RTN was a great inspiration for our batch to start "Project Varnam" through which we helped the helpless.I enjoyed all his interactions and i took all his words very seriously.He was teaching us the art to live in this world. He showed the path for love and affection.We were so lucky to have him with us. His words " Plan for the future by performing in the present " made lot of sense. I started reading many books only after his interactions.Nothing is impossible if Mr.RTN is with us and i am proud to be associated with him.
We had great weekend assignments visiting NGO's and it was a great team work. It provided us an opportunity to interact with many people in NGO. He banked for all the projects and our first visit was to "Kakkum karangal". Chiranjeevi helped us to get to this place. It was quite hard to see helpless childrens. We sponsored lunch for the childrens.
Our next visit was to "Chennai Puram Samajyam". We decided to teach the childrens at chennai puram samajyam and we started with "English" .We visited this place every weekend and helped the childrens to learn english. We trained 60 childrens and the childrens were so sweet and they were enthusiastic to learn the language .
Our next visit was to "MGR Deaf and Dumb school". The children were deaf and dumb. It was quite difficult to communicate with these children . We organized games for them and they enjoyed to a greater extend. The children wanted us to visit every week end and conduct games. The specialty about these kids was even though they were disabled , they were so optimistic and filled with energy.
Currently, we plan to transform "Varnam" into a NGO and we plan to launch a website for Varnam.
