The TVS Educational Society was founded over two decades ago in order to create excellent educational programs in under developed areas. The Society is a non-profitable organization comprising of well-known educationists, industrialists and philanthropists.
The Society has now established a cluster of educational institutions in rural and small urban communities. These institutions are - the three TVS Academy schools at Hosur and Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu; and at Tumkur in Karnataka. These schools have developed educational programs and curricula that draw on the traditions and culture of the communities in which they are located.
The TVS Educational Society has set up two Vocational Programs for school - leavers. The first vocational school,T.S. Srinivasan Centre For Rural Training at Hosur offers programs in organic agriculture for small and marginal farmers. The second vocational program is the TVS Educational Society Community College (TVSES-CC).
