About Us
A Brief history Of our School
Bal-Niketan was established in 1962 by the S.S.D.V. Association. The association raised significant funds and constructed its own building at No. 6, Chinnai Naickaran Street, Sowcarpet, which was inaugurated in 1969 by Sri Badrinath I.A.S., the then Collector of Chennai.
State-of-the-art facilities, including a computer lab and modern teaching aids, provide students with a dynamic and engaging educational experience.
Over 22 experienced and trained teachers deliver personalized attention, ensuring academic excellence and holistic student development.
The Association currently manages three educational institutions:
Shri Kanaiyalal Agarwal Bal-Niketan is a pioneering English-medium school in the Sowcarpet area. It serves as the feeder school for both Shri Sanatana Dharma Vidyalaya and Motilal Fomra Sanatana Dharma Higher Secondary School.
The school’s curriculum was developed under the valuable guidance of prominent educationalists, including Kulapathi Late Shri Bala Krishna Joshi, among others. Over the years, the school has transitioned into its current format, following the matriculation system starting from the last academic year. Presently, the school educates approximately 700 students and has around 22 teachers on staff. English is the primary medium of instruction, with Hindi and Tamil offered as second and third languages.
Equipped with modern teaching aids, a well-stocked library, and a fully functional computer lab, the school keeps pace with contemporary educational trends. Experienced and qualified teachers contribute to maintaining high academic standards and excellence.
The school celebrates a variety of cultural and national events, including Aksharabyasam, Vinayaka Chaturthi, Janmashtami, Independence Day, Teacher’s Day, Republic Day, Sports Day, Annual Day, and Kindergarten & 5th Standard Convocations. In addition, we organize summer camps to provide students with productive vacation activities.
In our commitment to offering the best education in a conducive environment, we have expanded the school building to better accommodate the growing needs of our students and enhance their learning experience.
