Sudha Murthy encourages school students towards hardwork
Chennai:
Infosys
Foundation
Chairperson
Sudha
Murty
enthralled
students
of
Savitri
Ammal
Oriental
Higher
Secondary
School
with
personal
anecdotes
on
the
value
of
honesty
at
the
golden
jubilee
celebrations
of
the
school
on
Monday,
Nov
17.
Murty
told
the
students
that
they
would
have
to
learn
to
be
forthright
right
from
their
schooldays.
She
narrated
an
incident
that
happened
about
20
years
ago
when
she
went
to
buy
postcards
and
stamps
along
with
her
son,
who
was
then
a
little
boy.
The
postmaster
had,
by
mistake,
returned
change
for
Rs
100
when
she
had
given
only
Rs
50.
Ms.
Murty
realised
the
mistake
when
she
had
reached
home
and
asked
her
son
to
return
the
change
immediately.
"My
son
wanted
to
know
why
we
should
give
the
money
back.
I
told
him
that
taking
something
that
did
not
belong
to
us
was
equal
to
theft," she
said.
She
encouraged
students
to
succeed
in
their
chosen
field
by
dint
of
hard
work
and
integrity
and
not
"through
connections."
The school conferred the title of 'Dharma Chintamani' on Ms. Murty for her academic excellence, managerial skills and social service. She was felicitated by Daya Balu, grand daughter of K. Chandrasekharan, who was Secretary of the school during its formative years.
