History
Modern Education was introduced to the inhabitants of Thambiluvil region in latter 19th century by Methodist missionaries. There was a Methodist Boys school (which still functions as "Thambiluvil Saraswathi Vidyalayam") started in Thambiluvil village in 1877 while a Girls school (known as Thambiluvil Kalaimagal Vidyalayam nowadays) was started in 1979. The girls school with 73 students was considered as the primitive girls school in Batticaloa Region.[5]
Saivite Revivalism aroused on early 19th century in the British Ceylon, aware the people to conduct the education depend on Saivism. Mr.A.Nadarasa, a noble man of Thambiluvil, started a Saivite school in front of Thambiluvil Sri Kannaki amman temple premises at 1944 (It is the place where the former "Aryabatta Library" located few years ago). In 1945, those three schools were undertook by British Government of Ceylon and Saivite school was displaced to the Methodist Girls School premises with the name "Junior School". Year One to Five were taught at Girls and Boys schools and whoever wish to continue their studies till Year Eight were allowed to carry on it in Junior School.[6] After the Independence of Ceylon, Junior school was renamed as "Maha Vidyalayam" in 1958 and relocated once more to its current premises and grew quickly and got its leading position.
