Why will TSR Subramanian, TSR as he was always known, be remembered? Because I witnessed what he brought to the table in conducting this mammoth exercise it bears a telling. Funnelling each sub-sector’s deficiency into a sharp, situation analysis and making practical recommendations is what he hammered out with speed, dexterity, accuracy and zeal to do what was right — not what people wanted to hear. During this period, he suffered from a serious health problem which would have grounded anyone with less tenacity and determination. His commitment to combining pre-school education with primary education in the interest of giving opportunities otherwise denied to poor children was boundless.
