There was a school with less than hundred children on the northern bank of the river Palar in the fertile village called Athur where people are known for their industriousness. The village itself is on the State Highway connecting Kancheepuram to Chengalpattu. The school was then run by the Ramakrishna Mission which decided to close the school and move to Chennai, then called Madras.

The people of the village, more importantly, Sri. Athur R. Srinivasa lyer wanted the school to continue to benefit the children of Athur and neighbouring villages.

V. Alagesan former Union Minister who lived near by in Chengalpattu stepped in and offered to run the school. This was in the year 1958.

This also happened to be the year when Sri. M. Bhaktavatsalam, the former Chief Minister attained the age of 60.

Sri Alagesan who had always been an admirer of the quietly efficient ways of Sri. M. Bhaktavatsalam wanted to do something which will perpetuate the memory of the latter, who by himself was a self effusive person.
