Our History
Karpaga Vinayaga Educational Trust (KVET) was founded by Thiru. S. Regupathy, the Former Hon'ble Minister of State for Environment and Forests, Government of India, along with a group of other philanthropists in 1993. The trust came together to promote the cause of higher education in Pudukkottai.
The trust started its first institution, J.J. College of Arts and Science, in Pudukkottai in 1994. Over the years, the trust expanded its presence and today owns eleven educational institutions encompassing the fields of Arts, Science, Engineering, Dental, Medicine, Nursing, Management, and Education.
Having attained satisfaction in providing high-quality facilities in higher education, the trust turned its focus to primary and secondary education with the aim of offering quality schooling. KVS Matriculation School was established in the campus of J.J. College of Arts and Science in Pudukkottai in 2012-2013.
The school began functioning in June 2012 initially with LKG to Standard VIII classes, and expanded in June 2013 to include standards IX, X, XI, and XII. Today, KVS School stands as a premier institution offering value-based, holistic education to rural and urban students alike.
Founder's Message
Sri S. Regupathy
Founder, Karpaga Vinayaga Educational Trust
Former Minister - Govt of India & Govt of Tamil Nadu
"My greetings to all parents and children!"
We at the Karpaga Vinayaga Educational Trust (KVET) are happy that we have started a Higher Secondary School. The fact that we started with Colleges and then thought of a school is a pointer to our realization of the complexity of the task of educating young children. It requires a whole new mindset to initiate children to the process of learning.
They come to us with an open mind, the joys and fears of innocence. They carry the hopes of their parents. So it is vital that the Management should be sensitive, sensible, accommodative and resilient.
This realization is reflected in our Vision and Mission statements. We seek to impart learning, perfect learning with pleasure. Thus we embody and go beyond Valluvar's diktat:
"நிற்க அதற்குத் தக."
Our objective is to kindle in young minds a love for learning, a basic respect for the teacher and impart skills that would promote habits of self culture. We believe in holistic man-making education and so offer opportunities for the development of the body, mind and spirit. We seek to instil in children good social habits and the spirit of tolerance, good will and cooperation. We hope the enlightened public would be with us in our endeavour.

"Learning at KVS is a pleasurable adventure."
KVS is the youngest among the Institutions within the fold of the Karpaga Vinayaga Educational Trust. We owe it to the love and goodwill of the enlightened public, the members of the Parent Teacher Associations of J.J. Institutions and some of our beloved alumni who suggested the starting of a school. Now children can proceed from LKG to Ph.D. in our Sivapuram Campus.
The School has registered remarkable growth within 5 years. Children are the assets of the nation, not just the darlings of their parents. Our approach to education is based on an awareness of both these factors. We try to tap the innate creative energy in children through songs, music, dance, oratory, drawing and painting, modeling, etc. As a result, every child gets his / her niche at KVS.
The staff take positive interest in every child and identify the special talents of each. Children learn good habits from the group and through imitation and role play.
In the Higher Standards, we encourage self learning under expert motivation and monitoring. In a sense, Learning is acquired, not imparted. Students get enough attention and their learning habits are nurtured through practice and tested through assignments, test papers and group work. There are also opportunities for co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Our students have won laurels in Inter Zonal, State level and National level competitions.
We welcome you to be part of this experience.
