History
The Andha Badhira Vidyalaya started in 1942 by Shri. Devanesan at Panavila, Trivandrum , Kerala. In 1957, the State Government took over and moved it to a new location near DPI Junction, on Kukilyar Lane. Over the years, it evolved, becoming a Technical High School in 1980 and a High School in 1986.
In 1989, the school underwent a significant change, splitting into sections for blind and deaf students. More sections were added – a VHSE section in 1995 and an HSS section in 1997. The school also expanded its reach by introducing pre-primary education in 1999.
Today, it proudly holds the title of the largest special school in the government sector in Kerala, with twenty-nine specially trained teachers for deaf students at all levels.
