The school was started in June, 2000, by Selvamani Palaniappan, A.V.Ramanathan, and a few other philanthropists, who were keen on providing good quality education to children from the poorer sections of society. The school thus set up, has at present one hundred and thirty students, in the Kintegarden, Grade I and Grade II classes. The plan is to provide primary education, upto Grade V, to start with, at which point, there would be about two hundred and forty students in the school.
Students are admitted to the school based on economic criteria of the parents. Currently, parents earning an income less than Rs. 2000 (USD 50) per month will be allowed to admit their children. The parents will need to be committed to the education of their children. The school also plans to provide guidance and coaching to parents of students, who themselves are illiterate.
Asha funded $17,100 towards construction of building
