The DB Class of 89 Chair Launched


The DB Class of 89 celebrated 20 years of passing out of DB Egmore with the creation of a DB Class of 89 Chair. A need-based annual scholarship of Rs 15,000 for one deserving student from Std XII also based on Academic Excellence & Overall Conduct. The Batch has created a corpus fund that will generate the required amount every year for this scholarship. Mr A. Selvadoray who (incidentally) retired from DB Egmore in 1989 gave away the first award to Charles Emmanuel Ezhil Raj a student of XII B on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 at the school assembly. The Class of 89 Chair was conceived on June 20, 2009 during the batch's 20th year reunion and has already been put into action. DB Egmore's new principal Fr Stanley responded very swiftly to the initiative. Will other batches take the cue and plan their own Class of ... Chair?
