Sree Ayyankali Memorial Govt. Model Residential Sports School (SAMGMRS School) was established by Govt. of Kerala in 2002-03, by converting previously constituted sports hostels functioning under S.C. Development Department since the academic year 1990-91, for the benefit of students of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe categories who excel in sports and games. The school started functioning in the campus of the K A U College of Agriculture at Vellayani, Thiruvananthapuram as per the MoU signed with the Agricultural University.

 

It was a remarkable achievement that such a school could be realized in the name of the great social reformer Mahatma Ayyankali, who took great effort in the betterment of a class of people who were socially, economically and educationally backward.

 

The school started functioning with classes from 5th standard to 10th standard. The institution was upgraded to the status of Higher Secondary School in 2008-09.  Now, the school has one division each from 5th standard to plus two level with a maximum strength of 30 students in each division. In the total sanctioned intake of 240 number of students, the SC, ST ratio is maintained as 2:1 and the boys, girls ratio as 1:1.

 

Presently school functions with batches from 5th standard to 12th level (One division each) with a maximum strength of 30 students in each division.

 

The activities of the school are governed by the S.C. Development Department, Govt. of Kerala. The Administrative Committee headed by The Dean, KAU College of Agriculture, Vellayani and the Executive Committee headed by the Joint Director (Education) of S.C. Development Department are functioning as advisory bodies.  In addition to this, a School Management Committee (S.M.C.) with representation from parents is constituted to facilitate the functioning of the school.
