In October, 2023, SB Silvaraj of Hyder-
abad, India, renewed his prior 2017 membership in the Character Teaching (CT) Consultation Board in India. Therefore, based on his current active status, I wrote a letter, on behalf of IMS, to the Indian President Draupadi Murmu, to request her government’s support and approval of this project.
SB Silvaraj offers a strong, favorable background and experience to lead the CT project forward in India. With an MA degree in Economics, he has spent many years as agent and marketing representative for various commercial businesses and international educational institutions in India. His current main employment is as agent for on-line business courses of various UK universities, centering his work primarily in the South India region, which includes the major cities of Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
SB has also taken an interest in the field of scientific education, since he has been the chief patron of the Victory Montessori School in Hyderabad for many years. Now, he indicates that his wife will be taking over the direction of this school starting in spring, 2024.
I believe this current renewal of the CT project in India is an especially favorable time for its progress and success. For example,the current president, (Smt.) Draupadi Murmu is a former elementary teacher with a reputation for leadership and interest to empower the downtrodden people of her country.
The CT project welcomes new members to join the consultation board in India or elsewhere. In India, for further information, contact: SB Silvaraj, Loyola Edu Abroad, Hyderabad. Tel. 630-208-9446. email: loyolaeducabroad@gmail.com
