Roots: The PYDS program dates back to 1998, when GK Swamy first started tutoring four young students in English and Mathematics in his home. After school, the students went to Mr. Swamy’s house where they received coaching and extra assistance in their studies. He along with his friends found several sponsors who were willing to fund their formal education and these four children were enrolled into a local English Medium Secondary School.
