EDUCATION IN TIRUNELVELI REGION - A HISTORICAL STUDY

Dr. K. Geethanjali

Abstract :

 

"Education for all" was the primary aim of the Christian mission in India particularly in Tirunelveli region. The mission had developed the principle that every congregation must have a school and every teacher must be a true Christian. They took a great deal of effort in the field of education by focusing their attention on the illiterates. This was also in keeping with their Gospel work, because the institution founded by them enabled them to share their religious views directly with the young people of the society. In those days, the downtrodden and the depressed classes in the society were totally denied education. But the Christian missionaries came forward to educate them and to give a lift to their status. In order to spread their views they founded elementary schools, high schools, colleges, teacher training schools and other special schools. An attempt is made in the following pages to highlight their deep devotion to education and its impact on the downtrodden.
