MMRHSS & Sainik School

Shaping minds, building character and nurturing future leaders.

Mannathu Padmanabhan

A Legacy of Learning, Discipline and Service.

It was the ardent desire of Bharat Kesari Mannathu Padmanabhan, founder of many educational institutions in Kerala under the Nair Service Society, to establish a residential model school in Thiruvananthapuram.

By the end of the 1960s, the people of Thiruvananthapuram were increasingly interested in providing quality English medium education to their children. To fulfil this need, the Nair Service Society decided in 1971 to establish a residential English medium school with modern facilities near NSS Women’s College, Neeramankara.

The school was named Mannam Memorial Residential High School in honour of Mannathu Padmanabhan and was dedicated to society on 13-09-1971.

With the introduction of Higher Secondary classes during 2002–03, the school was upgraded as Mannam Memorial Residential Higher Secondary School.

In 2025, the Ministry of Defence approved the conversion of MMRHSS into a new Sainik School under the Public-Private Partnership model. Today, the institution functions as MMRHSS & Sainik School, combining academic excellence with discipline, leadership and national service.

Over the years, MMRHSS has built a strong alumni community. Former students of the institution have excelled in diverse fields including defence, civil services, medicine, engineering, education, technology, business and public service.
