History

G. S. Shivram, born in Gopalsamudram, a small village in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu, was the founder president of Saraswati Education Society.[4] He started a Tamil Medium school, called S.V. with like minded people near Ghantali in Thane with 4 classrooms in the year 1952. However the strength of people opting Tamil Medium was deteriorating and there had been a demand for English medium school. Accordingly, the Saraswati Education Society was established in 1953-54 and was registered under Public Trust Acts in 1956.[5][6] A.M. Kaimal was the President of the Management Society after G.S. Shivram.
