The renovated and modernised building of the Ramakrishna Mission Nursery and Primary School, run by Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Chennai, was inaugurated on 5 October 2026. The school building, which is about 50 years old, houses around 250 children from LKG to Standard V.
Renovation Work
Owing to the age of the building, the entire structure was renovated, and the toilet block was reconstructed. The work was supported by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and other donors. During the renovation, the children were shifted to the Ramakrishna Mission Higher Secondary School (Main). They were brought back to the school after about 90% of the work was completed.

The inauguration was held in the presence of Swami Atmaghananda, with Sri Munesh Sharma, Head (HRS), South, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, as Chief Guest. Also present were Sri S. Varadarajan, Chairman and Managing Director (Retd.), BPCL, and Sri P. Balasuramaniam, Former Director (Finance), BPCL, along with Committee Members, donors, teachers, students, parents and devotees. About 200 persons attended, and all were served prasad at noon.
The Secretary welcomed the gathering. Swami Atmaghananda blessed the gathering, and Sri Munesh Sharma addressed it. A teacher, a student, a parent and the Architect also spoke on the occasion. The Principal proposed the vote of thanks.
