About Our Founder

St. Mary’s Group of Institutions was founded in 2007 by Mrs. Joseph Violet Lillian Sangeetham, a passionate educator who dedicated 40 years of her life as a Head Mistress in a Karnataka Government High School.

With her vast experience and deep love for children, she envisioned a school that would offer quality education at an affordable cost, especially for underprivileged families. Her mission was clear: to create a nurturing environment where every child, regardless of background, could thrive.

Mrs. Sangeetham believed that educating a child is the most powerful way to uplift a family and transform society. Her values of compassion, integrity, and dedication continue to guide us every day.

Her journey was not just a career—it was a calling. And her legacy remains at the heart of everything we do at St. Mary’s.
