The Chennai Kendra was the second kendra to be set
up after the Delhi Kendra. The Chennai Kendra was started way back in 1958 in
a small room made available by late Shri N. Nilakanthan.
 The Kendra had its first Executive Committee meeting in the
Syndicate Room of the Madras
University under the
chairmanship of the distinguished educationalist Dr. A. Lakshmana
