About Me
Hello! I am Sunirmal Chakravarthi. I am a teacher by choice who became a Principal by accident!
I began my professional life as a teacher at St. Paul’s School Darjeeling in 1987. I joined La Martinere School Kolkata as Principal in January 2006. I retired from La Martiniere in 2015 and have been spending my retirement in great happiness amongst family and friends in Darjeeling. While I enjoyed my stint as school administrator for almost twenty years, I feel my best moments were when I taught literature to scores of students in the classroom or when I took them out for excursions. I am the former President of the Rotary Club of Darjeeling. In 1997 I led a Group Study Exchange Team of young professionals to Sweden. I am a Paul Harris Fellow and also a Life Member of the Indian Red Cross Society and the Darjeeling District Sports Association.
I am an avid reader, trekker, traveller and sports enthusiast. I have authored several books, including some published by Cambridge University Press, one of which was part of the ISCE syllabus. My latest passion is “re-discovering the country by road.” Happily married to my wife, Shova, we are blessed with a son and daughter who are pursuing their own academic dreams.
