“I believe a youth empowered India is an India capable of affecting the world; it can define intellect and courage as its most powerful human assets and claim the 21st Century as its own. I call such a nation an Edu-Nation and I firmly believe that we can create a nation where every child enjoys every opportunity to grow into a self-reliant, self-respecting individual.”

“In this fiercely competitive world, success has several dimensions far widespread than the vortex of academia, spreading its tentacles into diverse fields which one has to adapt to. Our objective at Pillai is to provide you the right environment which will enable you to fulfill all aspirations and ambitions. Very often one is not even aware of one’s own capabilities and we at Pillai’s believe that even if we succeed in making the student scratch the tip of iceberg, we have set the ball rolling for individuals to achieve ultimate success in life.”
