The long term Tally training project
with SVRCC continues at their campus in TN (Pondy border) and at Pondy. It is a unique model at Pondy where most part of the office of YENNES is given to SVRCC as their city office and training is also conducted in batches there. What makes this project unique is that training is done outside the office by YENNES staff at colleges and schools on chargeable basis and the revenue from such training goes directly to SVRCC. The cost is entirely borne by YENNES (run by Rtn Saravanan, Sai and Ann Bharathi).
