Education
The importance this school had on the lives of every parathodian is indeed impeccable. Starting from the early days of migration the school had provided quality education to the hard working people of high range effectively and free. Thus so far this school has given birth to some national level athletes and pupil who is well regarded as idukki's brightest despite the difficulties they faced in the earlier years. Still the school was denied an aided plus two blaming poor infrastructure despite the fact that the facility being one of the first of its class and provided quality education from time to time. The dream of aided plus two is still not realised even though the school now has a very good infrastructure and other facilities.
