For over a week, cadres of the DMK party have
gathered at the gates of Kauvery Hospital, Alwarpet
where the party’s leader, M. Karunanidhi is being
treated for serious, age-related health problems.
They have given vent to their emotions, shouted
slogans and bared their hearts. But now that photos
show Karunanidhi’s health has ‘stabilised’, cadres
are happy. Some of them even shared sweets with
others at the hospital gates on Thursday.

EARLY HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
                                             The school’s history can be traced back to 1869 when it
                                         was first established as a primary school with three classes. It
                                         was known as Vizianagaram Maharajah’s Hindu Girls School
                                         then. The then ruler of the state Sir Vijayarama III Gajapathi,
                                         was the principal patron of the school.
                                             In 1904, the school’s name was changed to the Mylapore
