Mr. Kandhan Kumaresan

My name is Kandhan Kumaresan. I studied at Government Middle School, Kanyapuram, Wimberly Gunj, South Andaman.While I was a student, I faced great difficulty continuing my education, and I received a great support and hand from T. S. Guruswamy and his shop, who helped me throughout classes X to XII. I am currently working as a primary school teacher at Government Model Senior Secondary School, Aberdeen, and I have 23 years of teaching experience, including five years at this school. I am committed to improving education and infrastructure for my students across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Many families here are poor, and students often lack proper school facilities because of environmental and logistical challenges. To address these needs, I am seeking support from CSR programs, NGOs, individual donors (professors, teachers, engineers, and alumni), and government initiatives such as the Vidyanjali programme. My goal includes developing school playgrounds, toilets, libraries, digital class room and ICT infrastructure, and other basic facilities. Through our organization, like Ennoble Social Innovation Foundation, Mumbai and with the support of Dr. Hukum Chandra Choudhary (a National Teacher Award–winner from Rajasthan), we have started working to develop 30 schools. I kindly request your support and collaboration to improve schools and education opportunities across all over our islands. I am ready to provide further details and documentation as needed. In recognition of my work at Government Model Senior Secondary School, Aberdeen, I received the National Teachers’ Award 2025 and was felicitated on Teachers’ Day. My notable contributions include linking textbooks with local folk tales, songs, and games; documenting local plant life with students; and promoting CSR, NGO, and Vidyanjali projects across schools in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
