About Us
Hindu Higher Sec School
đ Our History
Our journey began in the mid-19th century with the founding of Subbarayar School. By 1879, it evolved into an Anglo-Vernacular School, serving around 50 students. With the continued support of community elders and educators, the institution flourished and became known as:
âThe Hindu Secondary School and Chattram Committeeâ in 1907.
In 1948, the school gained recognition from the Tamil Nadu School Education Department as a High School. In 1978, it was upgraded to Hindu Higher Secondary School, marking a major milestone in its service to rural education.
Today, we function under the Hindu High School and Chattram Committee, which governs three major institutions:
Hindu Higher Secondary School (Coed)
Hindu Girls High School
Hindu Elementary School
Eminent Personalities of Our School
Our school has been a nurturing ground for many remarkable individuals who have gone on to make significant contributions in science, industry, and society. Here are two such proud alumni:
1. Dr. K.S. Krishnan â The Man Behind the First Asian Nobel in Science
Kariamanickam Srinivasa Krishnan (K.S. Krishnan) was born on 4th December 1898 in the village of Viluppanur, Tamil Nadu. He had his early education at Hindu Higher Secondary School, Watrap (HHSS).
Dr. Krishnan served as a former Headmaster of our school.
He played a vital role in the discovery of the Raman Effect alongside Sir C.V. Raman, a groundbreaking contribution that earned the first Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to an Asian.
He remains an inspiration to generations of students, symbolizing academic excellence and scientific achievement.
2. G. Munuswamy â Entrepreneur & Industrialist
G. Munuswamy, the Founder of Kaleesuwari Refinery Private Limited, is another illustrious alumnus of our school.
He established the popular edible oil brand “Gold Winner”, a household name across India.

His journey continues to inspire young minds toward leadership and innovation.
