In 1967 friends of Sri.N.Chinnaswamy Naidu, the headmaster of Mani Higher Secondary School, formed a Committee with Sri.S.Kondaswamy Naidu as President and decided to start a school for children, so that after his retirement he could spend time with children and approached Sri.G.K.Deverajulu and his brother Sri.G.K.Sundaram for permission and help in this project.
Sri.G.K.Deverajulu, managing agent of M/s The Lakshmi Mills Company Limited gave permission to construct a building at Lakshmi Mills Colony during 1967.
To construct a building for the school, a committee named “Feeder School to Mani High School Building Committee” was formed with Sri.S.Kondaswamy Naidu of Madras Forgings as President with Sri.G.Krishnan, Auditor and Sri.V.Srinivasulu, former drawing master of Mani High School as members.
The management encouraged them to proceed. The Committee put up a building with five rooms at a cost of about Rs.80,000/-. The Lakshmi Mills Company Limited added the first floor with five rooms at a cost of about Rs.55,000/-.
