Pushpalata
Vidya Mandir is a proud member of Pushpalata Institutions, founded by the
eminent lawyer, Mr. Palai Shanmugam and his better-half, Dr. Mrs.
Maragathavalli, in the year 1986.
Pushpalata
Vidya Mandir came into existence in the year 2008 with a meagre strength of 240
children. It has made great strides in
the past 8 years since its inception. Mrs.

institution to march forth with a strength of 2124 at present, with the motto WE CARE. In such a short span of time,
