Paavai Group of Schools

Shri.N.V.Natarajan, the Chairman of Paavai Institutions, hails from Rasipuram, Namakkal District, Tamilnadu. His father was an enterprising person working as Civil Engineering Contractor and running a sago factory of his own. His mother is a simple but strong-willed and hard-working woman. No wonder, Shri.N.V.Natarajan has inherited the traits of sincerity, single-mindedness and hard work from his parents. During his school days, Shri.N.V.Natarajan had to look after the accounts in the sago factory not only on holidays but also in the evenings; and thus he imbibed the spirit of work culture. When he was a 9th standard student, a team of Commercial Tax Officers visited his sago factory one day and asked him what he wanted to become in future. He told that he would like to become an engineer, perhaps the reason may be, his father was already a contractor. But he was advised by the CTO to study Chartered Accountancy course for two reasons; one was that as there were too many engineers, there was nothing special about it and another reason was that only 2 – 7% would be the pass percentage in the CA Exams in India. The suggestion was really an eye-opener to the 9th standard student to hit upon his future academic prospects. Though Shri.N.V.Natarajan was scoring 100% in Mathematics, he chose to study the commerce group in the pre-university course at Jamal Mohammed College, Trichy, since the instinct of becoming an auditor was throbbing within. Then, he joined B.Com., at Kandasamy Kandar's College, Velur. While studying B.Com, this ambitious young student at the age of seventeen had a dream of starting an educational institution. In one of the assignments pertaining to the subject Mercantile Law, he had drawn the sketch of an educational institution (college) – the buildings, the playgrounds, the students crisscrossing while moving to classes and laboratories, etc., on the wrapper. When his professor came to know this, he appreciated him for his cherished dream.
