Historical school building to be restored to its former glory

Sethu Lakshmi Bai govt. school in Nagercoil was started 93 years ago
Those who have read Sundara Ramasamy’s short story, Nadar Sir, will know the red brick majestic Travancore-style building that houses Sethu Lakshmi Bai Government Higher Secondary School in Nagercoil.
The 93-year-old school, once preferred by all parents in Kanniyakumari district for its excellence in academics and sports, was gradually overshadowed by proliferation of private English medium schools. Years of neglect took a heavy toll on its structure, particularly on the roof. Now the heritage division of the Public Works Department (PWD) has launched a project to restore and conserve the building.
