It is contended that the school is situated within the limits of Parudur Grama Panchayat, an educationally, socially and economically backward area. Though the school is a Higher Secondary School, only four Higher Secondary batches have been allotted. As against 1000 students who pass SSLC, there are only 200 seats for Plus One Course in the school.
