The
residential colonies around the Institute and the factory brought in
their wake the problem of educating the children of the residents. To
meet this social obligation the TITS Society is running a Senior
Secondary School for the children of its employees, which initially
started as a Primary School in the 4-room humble building presently
housing the Birla Colony Post Office. In 1952 the School was shifted to
its present building which is provided with well equipped laboratories
and well stocked Library. From the initial enrolment of about 200 in
1946 the strength of the School has sky rocketed to over 2400. It is the
only school of its kind where education is free from Nursery to Senior
Secondary class. Further, free books are provided to the Children of all
employees. The concept of 'Neighborhood Schools' which the national
planners are now advocating has actually been in operation here since
1946.
The School has proved a veritable boon for the children of factory
employees, but for which, avenues of educational progress would have
been closed to many. Instances are on record where children of workers
have won through to secure academic honours and responsible positions in
the society. Good scholars from the city also seek admission to TIT
School on account of excellent instructional facilities obtaining here.
Every year a number of our students figure in the Merit List of the
Board and win distinctions and scholarships in the Middle, High School
and 10+2 examinations.
Apart
from winning academic honours the School has made a significant mark in
the field of sports and extra mural activities and is regarded as one of
the most progressive schools of the State.
