Mangalore, November 19, 2009: The ambitious project of the Canara High School Association (CHSA) the prestigious Central Syllabus school was opened in a glittering function today held at the new campus of the school behind the T.V. Ramana Pai convention centre at Kodialbail.
 
Inaugurating the new campus Mr. T V Mohandas Pai, Director and Head, Infosys Technologies Ltd. Bangalore said that the school has come up in a grand manner and he hoped that the education imparted there would be helpful to the students who study here and help the community to grow citizens with high level of integrity and well informed students.

Mr Pai regretted that over 8.7 crore youths in the country were deprived of pursuing college education and only 12.4 per cent youth between the age group of 18-25 had the opportunity to join colleges, due to the poor financial background of their families.

The school was inaugurated on this day to mark the 100th birth anniversary of the founder of Canara group of schools Mr. Ammembal Subba Rao (he is also the founder of the Canara Bank)

The brief but beautiful function had less speeches and more thanks giving and awards ceremonies. On this occasion donors for the school buildings from the GSB community were honoured. The honors were done jointly by the dignitaries on the occasion including N. Yogish Bhat, MLA, Mangalore South, Shankar Bhat, Mayor MCC, Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP, Dakshina Kannada, Dr Vinay Hegde, Chancellor, NITTE University, Dr P Dayananda Pai, Chairman, Century Group, Bangalore, P Sathish Pai, Director, Century Groups Bangalore, M Annappa Pai and  U.S. Mohandas Nayak president of the CHSP.

On this occasion the school children gave a delightful cultural programme.
