S. Surendrababu, aged 71, passed away on June 27. A postgraduate in engineering, he joined the Ramakrishna Mission Polytechnic College in Mylapore as a junior instructor in 1969. He went on to become Principal of the college in 2002. He retired in 2005 after putting in 36 years of service.
According to M. Sugumaran, current principal of the college, Surendrababu was instrumental in getting approval for the two regular courses here – diploma in automobile engineering and diploma in computer engineering from the Directorate of Technical Education.
