ABOUT THE INSTITUTION:

TGSMSVN is run by Bhartheeya Vidhya Niketan (BVN), which is the Kerala Chapter of VidyaBharati. VIDYABHARATI is the realization of a long cherished dream and desire of Indians, to rectify the distortions that had crept into India’s educational system over the years. It was felt that a proper perspective should be given to the future generation regarding India’s ancient culture. The cultural heritage of a nation that had attained tremendous growth in all walks of life was not projected properly. Instead, deliberate attempts with ulterior motives were made by the colonial rulers to prove that all the achievements of Indians were the contributions of the Westerners. All these negative factors set nationalistic citizens to ponder over the future of Indian education. The net result was the birth of VIDHYABHARATI.
It had its humble beginning with the commencement of the Sarawathy Shishu Mandir at Gorakhpur in UP in 1952. Today, there are over 28000 Schools and colleges under its umbrella. There are about 32 lacs students studying in VidyaBharati Schools in various states and over one lakh Teachers. It is today the largest Non-Government educational organization in India. BHARATHEEYA VIDYA NIKETHAN is the Kerala chapter of VIDYABHARATI.

BVN is a registered body under the Travancore- Cochin State Societies Act. 1955 with registration No. 1119/79 and Headquarters at Kochi. It is also an Accredited Agency of National Institute of open schooling (NIOS) and recognized by Government of kerala, vide G.O. (RT)No. 2596/2003/G. Edn. Tvm.Dt.07-07-2003.
