SCHOOL HISTORY OF GOVT. HSS.
MARAYAMUTTOM
Govt.H.S.S. Marayamuttom is situated at Marayamuttom in Perumkadavila Panchayat, Perumkadavila
Block, Neyyattinkara Taluk, Thiruvananthapuram District. This school is under
Neyyattinkara Educational District.
King Marthandavarma, while fleeing from the attack
of Ettuveettil Pilla’s had to hide at this place. As his path got struck here,
the place started to be known as Maharajamuttom . In course of time, it became
Marayamuttom. In a nearby pond, the King took bath, after placing his chain at
the shore. So this place is also known as Malakulangara.
About 150 years ago, in the land of Mallan Kumaran,
his nephews conducted classes from I to
IV for their livelihood. With the grant
from the government it was upgraded to a middle school. Thus classes up to VII
standard were begun in that school. Those days, the school was known as ‘Vadakkembalam School’.
There was a Vazhiyambalam at “Ambalathara” in Marayamuttom
junction. It was in the southern side. In the area where the school is situated
now, that is at H.S.S. Junction, there was a Vazhiyambalam called
Vadakkembalam. These Vazhiyamblams were
built by the landlords for the poor people to lie on and take rest. Those going to the market, used to take rest
here, placing their luggage on the
“Chumaduthangi.” There was facility even to cook food.
Marayamuttom Govt High School had started working before 1957
as a primary school, headed by Pullayil Madhavan Pillai. Then it became a
middle school with V,VI and VII classes. The students in this area depended on Neyyattinkara Govt. H.S. for
their high school education. So, the social workers and the important persons
there such as Ancode Veedu Shri. P.K. Kurmaran Nair, Valiyavila Veedu Shri. Vasudevan Nair,Vadakara Shri. Kunjan
Panicker and Vamparambuthala Shri. Ayyappan Thampi took initiative and with the
efforts of the then opposite leader Shri. Pattam Thanu Pillai, the school was
upgraded to High School by Shri. Joseph Mundasseri the Educational Minister of
E.M.S. Ministry in 1957.
The
required lands were rendered by the Vambarambuthala family,Vellikuzhi family
and Valiya Parambu family. The first Headmaster was Shri. Veeramani Iyyar. When new buildings
were granted for H.S., the Primary section was separated as Marayamuttom L.P.S. near the H.S.
In the academic year 1999-2000, it became Higher Secondary
School as a result of a tremendous strike by the people of this place.
Today there are 1543 students, 51 teachers and 7 non-teaching
staff in U.P. and H.S. section. And 330 students and 17 teachers are there in
the H.S. Section
Most of the students educated from this school have shown
their abilities in different fields. Around 10 of the present teachers were the
students of this school. The District Panchayat President Shri. Anavoor
Nagappan too is an old student of this school.
The English medium class started in the V standard during the
academic year 2004-’05. Now more than 80 students are studying in the English
medium classes of V, VI and VII standards.
