history

In the year 1927 the Cochin State Education Department issued an order sanctioning two primary schools in Peramangalam Village. At that time it was the greatest village in Cochin State. The two primary schools functioned separately for one year. Next year the two schools were amalgamated and the government approved the school.
The school started functioning in a itached shed under the name ‘Durga Vilasam School’ in the year 1927. Shri Puthur Sankaran Nair who was the secretary of Peramangalam Karayogam was the promotor. Later the management was taken over by Shri Kapiyur Vasudevan Namboodiri. The name of the school was changed to Peramangalam Aided school.
The school shifted to the permanent building in the year September 1929. The new building and the school, which was renamed as ‘Sree Durgavilasam’ was inaugurated by Punnathur Elaya Raja. In the year 1930 Shri T.Unni Menon was appointed as Head master in the place of Shri P.Sankaran Nair. Shri Unni Menon continued in the post of HM till 1957 and then till 1968 he served as correspondent of the school. The service of Shri A.K Kunjunni Master to the school is also remarkable.

After a lapse of 28 years, in the year 1955 the school attained the status of a Middle school. Smt. P.Madhavi Amma was appointed as the Head mistress of the middle of the school.
