Under the stewardship of the Founder Chairman Mr. C. Shaji, Gayathri Vidyamandir
with nine tiny tots began to toddle down to the vast expanse of the world of letters in a one-
roomed building surrounded by a small but nice children’s park. When these nine tiny tots
were about to leave Gayathri Vidyamandir’s precincts after completing their UKG stream,
the school management was solicited and encouraged to start the next higher class, i.e., Std I
by the grateful parents and caring well – wishers. Thus Gayathri Central School was launched
