Introduction
School has prime importance in human life.
Education is the tool of social change. The principles
'EducationforAll(EFA)'and 'EqualityofOpportunity'
were emerged just after the world war II which caused
to spread education to masses. It is supposed that the
responsibility of educating people lies on the shoul-
ders of the government. But it is very difficult due to
explosion of population and knowledge. So it is the
responsibility of the factors in the society to educate
the people. In past British rule in India private schools
were run. In British rule the number of private schools
was very less. Missionaries started to educate the
children in their schools in India. Wood's Dispatch
(1854) recommended that private schools should be
opened by the private institution and government
shouldprovidethemgrantinaid.Thesamerecommen-
dation was made by Hunter Commission (1882).
Thisresultedinincreaseinnumberofschools
by private institutions. Lord Curzon (1905) recom-
mended that all aided and non aided schools should be
controlled and regulated by the government. It clearly
shows that the responsibility of education of children
should be shouldered by the private institutions and
should be provided grant in aid to these schools.

School has prime importance in human life. Education is the tool of social change. The principles 'Education for All
(EFA)' and 'Equality of Opportunity' were emerged just after the world war II which caused to spread education to masses.
It is supposed that the responsibility of educating people lies on the shoulders of the government. But it is very difficult
due to explosion of population and knowledge. From the right beginning SPM is providing quality education to the student
in rural. During this long period the institution progressed quantitatively and qualitatively. The researcher wanted to know
the information regarding the salient features of the administration of the institution, teaching learning process,
contribution in welfare of student and staff. So the present research was undertaken.
