How our story grew.

Community roots, school history and Trust registration are different milestones. Each has its place in our story.

1982

A community beginning

The Trust’s published history records the formation of Gayathri Education Society on 20 March 1982. Aijaz Ahmed personally reached out to families, beginning with about 50 children.

1983

A school takes shape

The school’s own history dates its establishment to 1983. Beginning in a small rented building, it grew through the founder’s savings and the community’s commitment.

Aijaz Ahmed · Founder

Aijaz Ahmed.
A belief put into action.

The son of an ex-military serviceman, Aijaz Ahmed saw children in Gayathripuram without a local school and began teaching them. He started in a rented building, buying benches and teaching materials from his own savings.

The school’s history describes years of personal commitment, gradual expansion and support for teachers from disadvantaged backgrounds. That spirit of practical service continues to shape the Trust.

Trust, built on
transparency.

Registered public charitable trust under the Indian Trust Act, as described in the Trust’s registration information.
