Education is the greatest service we can offer to society — a legacy that must live through generations
- Late Karuthan Chettiar, Founder
The roots of Alagammai Achi Memorial Aided Elementary School trace back to the year 1957, when the institution was founded by Karuthan Chettiar in loving memory of his mother, Alagammai Achi.
With deep reverence for his mother and a strong commitment to education, Karuthan Chettiar took over the management of an existing elementary school known as Jayankondar Kalvi Nilayam. He later renamed and developed it as Alagammai Achi Memorial Aided Elementary School, establishing a lasting legacy of service through education.
