“The great things are always being done by great sacrifices.” Swami Vivekanda

The words of Swami Vivekanda witness the work of our honorable founder, Late Sri A. Sowrirajan. It is quite clear that millions of people born and die and do nothing for the society. But very few people have realized the real meaning of life and time. In order to broaden our mind, we should know the life of great people who have sacrificed their life for the sake of society. Our honorable founder Late Sri A. Sowrirajan cared our society and lived for them. In the year 1865, this school was run by Sri. Suyambulinga Desikar. At the same time our founder’s father, Sri Aadhi Narayana Pillai had another school for upper primary, from 1 to 5th standard classes with Government Recognition. In the year 1908, these two schools were united as a single school and Sri Natesan Ayyar and Sri Aadhi Narayana Pillai together took care of the school. In the year 1920, this school was functioning only in thatched roof. After the death of Sri Aadhi Narayana Pillai, Mrs Aadhi Narayana Pillai gave consent to Sri Natesan Ayyar to take care of the school. Though Sri. Sowrirajan returned from murices in 1926, Sri. Natesan Iyyar run the school under the guidance of Sri. Sowrirajan. In the year 1930, Sixth standard was started and with the hard work of the Headmaster,  Sri. R. Vaithiyanatha Swami and the guidance of Sri. Sowrirajan and Sri. Natesan Iyyar took the school to a greater level.

In the year 1932, the thatched roof was completely damaged by cyclone. The thatched roof was rebuilt by the efforts of Sri. Sowrirajan Pillai, Sri. Natesan Iyyar and the local people. In the year 1939, Sri. Natesan Ayyar transferred the management to Sri. Sowrirajan Pillai.

In the year 1950, the school management was transferred to Eachngudi Land Lord, Sri. Subarayalu Naidu. In the year 1951, the management was transferred back to Sri. Sowrirajan Pillai. In the year 1952 again the school was damaged by cyclone, and then a temporary roof was built. Later new building was built by Sri. Sowrirajan Pillai. In the year 1962, Sri. Sowrirajan Pillai  gave all these properties of Rupees. 50,000 to start this school. Since then schools are running as Sowrirajan Primary School (standards 1 to 5 ) and Sowrirajan High school (Standards 6 to 10). Sri. Rathinasamy was Headmaster.

After the demise of Sri. Sowrirajan Pillai,  both schools were efficiently managed by his daughter Dr. D. Padmasani M.B.B.S.

After the demise of Dr. D. Padmasani in 1997, Sri. Sowrirajan Kumar, the son of Sri. A. Sowrirajan has taken over the school correspondent till current date. Presently, Dr. S. Veerapandiyan is the secretary of both schools and Sri. N. Ramesh has been working as the Headmaster of Sowrirajan High School and Smt. L. Valarmathi has been working as headmaster of Sowrirajan Elementary School.
