VELAMMAL VIDYALAYA-MELAYANAMBAKKAM ANNEXURE

The First Foot Step

The year was 1986. The seed of social consciousness that his mother, Smt. Velammal, had sown in the mind of Shri M.V. Muthuramalingam, Founder Chairman of Velammal Educational Trust, when he was of impressionable age, was now germinating and sprouting the outcome—establishing Velammal Matriculation School in Chennai with a strength of only 183 students and 13 staff members. As the years passed, the strength of the school grew, and so did its reputation. The need for more institutions arose, and thus the name and works of Velammal Group of Institutions spread far and wide.

From a small school at Mogappair in Chennai, the Velammal Group of institutions has spread to the districts of Thiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Sivagangai, Madurai, Theni, Karur, Thiruvanamalai, Thanjavur, and Vellore in Tamil Nadu. Now this group has more than a lakh students and around 12000 staff members under its umbrella. The group continues its journey in the field of education as ‘perfect educators’ and in the field of medicine to promote our country as a favorable destination for “Health Tourism”.

Chairman’s Message

Shri. M.V. Muthuramalingam

Chairman

Velammal Educational Trust

It is indeed a privilege in addressing you. Yet another year has passed and we have crossed some more milestones. At every step, we had the support and motivation provided by the confident parents, dedicated teachers and committed students. Today, Velammal group of institutions is growing from strength to strength with ethical professional practices and is recognized as a reputed name in education.
In all these years of experience, I learnt one very simple yet very significant lesson: the need of the society is like an ocean and the services we render are mere drops. So, I am now determined to add as many drops as I can and say to myself with contentment, “I tried my best.”
Today, my vision is set on raising the stature of ‘ Velammal to a University ’, by establishing more Schools, Engineering colleges, Professional and Medical Institutions in the state and country. The task is arduous, and the path grueling, but I have two things going for me: One my mother’s words of motivation, and other, the society’s unstinted support.
