On 1927  when Nehruji came to Madras he resided at the residence of Sathyamoorthy . Due to tiredness he tried to sleep in the night but could not. A loud noise disturbed him. Nehruji who lost the patience tried to find out the cause for the noise. At last he found that the noise came from the Varanda of that house. He saw an youth was sleeping with heavy shore. He got angry. He asked Sathyamoorthy to drive the lad out of Madras or to shift his bed to the sea-shore. That youth who disturbed the sleep of Nehru with his heavy snoring was Kamaraj whose statute was unveiled by Nehru in latter days.

During British regime the education was only 7 percent. But in Kamaraj's period it was 37% . During Rajaji's period there were 12000 schools in the state.Whereas it was 27000 in the period of Kamaraj. Power supply in all the villages , industrial growth were in the period of Kamaraj.

Tamils compared the education to our eyes. Hence Tamilians were considered as genius . Kamaraj who hailed from this group made a revolution in education.
