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 out come - establishing Velammal Matriculation School at 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. Thus the name and works of Velammal Group of Institutions spread far and wide.

From a small school at Mugappair 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 holds more than a lakh students and around 12000 staff members under its umbrella.The group continues his journey in the field of education  as ‘perfect educators’ and in the field of medicine to promote our country as a favourable destination for  “Health Tourism”.
