The school's history dates back to 12 February 1951, when it commenced its services as "Pillayar Padasalai" with 48 students and volunteer teachers. The dream of establishing a school for the Tamil-speaking Hindu community in Colombo was realized through the efforts of its founders, as well as the support of parents, alumni, and well-wishers.
The school initially started in a small building and expanded over the years to accommodate the growing number of students. In 1955, classes above the fifth grade were transferred to the then-newly established Hindu College at Ratmalana. The primary school continued in Bambalapitiya
