Comorin International School was founded by MR. E. Lekshmanan in 2008 and has been promoted by the Thiyagi Elango Memorial Trust since 2006 which was named in honour of the founder’s father, the late Thiru C. P. Elango.
Thiru C. P. Elango was born to Thiru Brahma Nayagam Pillai and Thirumathi Bagavathy Ammal on the 15th of June, 1915 in a tiny hamlet called Cherumadam in Kanyakumari district. He grew up to become one of the very few freedom fighters from Kanyakumari district. He grew up in the British era making him strong-willed and his love for mother India stimulated him to actively take part in the fight against the British for India’s independence which made him get acquainted with legends like Thiru Kamarajar, Kappalootiya Thamizhan and Shri. Nethaji Subash Chandra Bose. His dedication and commitment to the nation’s well-being earned him the highly coveted honour, the “Thamarai Pattaiyam” which was presented to him by Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India and Shri. V. V. Giri, the President of India in New Delhi as India celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1972. He passed on to his heavenly abode on the 30th of July 1999.
The legacy of C. P. Elango is one of courage, vision, and selfless service. A freedom fighter in Travancore, he spent nine years in prison for raising the Indian flag and dedicated his life to uplifting the underprivileged, particularly the tribal communities of Kanyakumari. Inspired by leaders like the communist veteran Jeeva, he developed a personal code of conduct and ideology that guided his lifelong commitment to social justice and public service. He played a key role in the Tamil Nadu Socialist Congress as Deputy General Secretary and earned the respect of prominent leaders, including Chief Minister K. Kamaraj. His principles, dedication, and enduring contributions to society remain a guiding example for future generations.
In his honour, the Thiyagi Elango Memorial Trust was established in 2006 by his son Er. E. Lekshmanan, and through this trust, Comorin International School was founded in 2008, continuing his vision of empowering young minds through education.
In the words of the sage Thiruvalluvar, “கேடில் விழுச் செல்வங் கல்வி யொருவற்கு மாடல்ல மற்றை யவை” it is more than obvious that education is a very vital part of life that is paramount to our raison d’être. It is also important to know that article 21-A of the Constitution of India ascertains that education is a fundamental right of each and every child.
