It had a humble beginning in November 2000 with nine playschool students and only one teacher.

Founder Chairman, Mr. C. Shaji

Under the stewardship of the Founder Chairman Mr. C. Shaji, Gayathri Vidyamandir with nine tiny tots began to toddle down to the vast expanse of the world of letters in a one-roomed building surrounded by a small but nice children’s park. When these nine tiny tots were about to leave Gayathri Vidyamandir’s precincts after completing their UKG stream, the school management was solicited and encouraged to start the next higher class, i.e., Std I by the grateful parents and caring well – wishers. Thus Gayathri Central School was launched in 2006 after the formation of Gayathri Educational and Charitable Trust with Register No. 107/2006.

CONCLUSION

86

Besides several other factors the economic development of a country depends upon the effective functioning of employees. In order to achieve this, the management and the state should take necessary steps for the satisfaction of employees in their respective jobs.

a) A large majority of the teachers were satisfied with the amenities provided to them in the school.

b) Teachers have rated the overall management of the school and facilities available around or in the periphery of the school as good.

c) Teachers reported that their work in the school has enriched their life as far as the physical, psychological, social and economic aspects are concerned.

d) The relations between management and teachers were reported to be good.e) The school stands different in all aspects compared to other schools and it has a very

bright future.

87

CHAPTER - VIII

SUGGESTIONS

a. Quick and prompt action should be taken for the areas found in teachers’ questionnaire which needs improvement.

88

b. I wish the school will go ahead in starting higher secondary section soon. c. It would be rewarding if the faculty is motivated to get updated in their particular

subjects so that the results are aplenty. d. There is less English communication among students as well as teachers.

Management should encourage the staff & students to converse in English when inside the school campus.

e. In order to develop skills of students to gain employment / self employment, vocational training in information technology etc. may be included.
