“We are very happy that you have brought out a beautiful book about our alumnus, Sri Chandramouli, which is sure to inspire hundreds of people, common men, especially our Home students, who come from very humble backgrounds.”

Valor and Values is much more than the biography of an eminent civil servant. It is the inspiring story of one of our most distinguished seniors, Shri R. V. Chandramouli, who rose from the humblest of beginnings to the highest levels of public service through integrity, competence, courage and unwavering commitment to duty.
