“Dream Big, Think Differently, Focus Intensely, Work Independently.” These words unravel the success story behind the Velammal Educational Trust from the year 1986 to 2017 and span the golden years ahead....
Smt.Velammal, born in a small hamlet Ladanendal, near Madurai, ardently desired for something more than just a virtuous life of comfort for her children. The visionary gleam in her, made her inspire her children to think beyond the mundane life of survival, to a life of lighting up lives and shaping nation builders. She had sown the pearly wisdom and her son reverentially gave expression to his mother’s dream by founding the Velammal Educational Trust in the year 1986. The Founder Chairman Shri M.V. Muthuramalingam, with an Engineering degree to his credit, a humble background and no financial backup, housed the first school in 1986 in a thatched roof with just 183 students and 13 teachers on roll. “We have never seen ourselves as brick and mortar but rather as an entity that empowers the student community to reach the larger world beyond”. This is the truth behind our metamorphosis as an ‘Educational Empire’ with more than 60 Institution, 3 Kinder Garten Schools, 9 Matriculation Schools, 14 CBSE Schools, 3 International Schools, 1 Residential School, 3 Engineering colleges, a Medical college and new schools with more than 85,000 students and 8000 dedicated staff members.
Today with just 30 steps behind, we have left an indelible mark on all facets of education i.e scholastic and co - scholastic activities, sports, occupational and recreational oriented ventures. Our phenomenal and unsurpassable record of academic excellence and unparalleled individual and team achievements in sports at national and international levels are the touchstones of the school’s meteoric rise. The fact that the school has stood the test for generations in identifying and nurturing individual talents, creating awareness among students and public towards socio-economic and global causes, is a testimony of the quality of education that Velammal has striven to sustain all these years. These qualities would stay with the students lifelong and help them evolve into truly global citizens.
