Kallur is an agricultural village situated in south-east of Thrissur district. When we hear the word ‘Kallur’ the image
of hills, mountains and rocks will come to our mind. The main jobs of natives
were agriculture. All types of community were residing here. The landlords-Janmees hold the most of the farmlands. The farmlands were owned by Devaswam, Mana or Ilam groups.
The employees included all communities also Hindus and Christians. In 1924 missionaries from Thrissur established a
church to fulfill the spiritual needs of the natives. After this, the land
which is under the proprietorship of church built school in 1926 for educational purposes. They also established schools in Nellankara, Kizhakke kotta
and Kuriachira on that period. Mar Abimalek Thimothiyoos who was the foreign
missionary was the founder of this school. The meaning of ‘ Vernacular’ is
regional language. So the school named as Vernacular Lower Primary School. The
first Headmaster of this school was Sri. S.Krishnayyar with alias ‘Pattaru
Mash’. Four years later he transferred into Chaldean School, Thrissur. Hence Sri.Nambadan
Chakku Chakkapppan, the School manager appointed Sri.T.D.Paul as the Head
Master. In this stage of growth the School got a lot of aids from educational
department of Government. Teachers gave their excellent services even they
sufferd a lot to reach the school as there was no adequate transportation
facility. The teachers, Sri.T.D.Paul, Smt.Kunjiyamma, Smt.Padmavathi Amma, Sri.
Madhavi Amma, Sri. O.T.Anthappan were sit in the best place not only in the
student’s heart but of the natives also.
In the period (1968-1977), Smt. Padmavathi
Amma was the Headmistress there were 22 divisions including seven 1 std, 23
teachers and 1100 students in V.L.P.S. This was the golden era of Vernacular
Lower Primary School. Surayi School improved in educational sector. By the way
number of divisions increased on that occasion. In 1938, a branch of this
school was started in Kallur Palakkaparambu with name Vernacular Lower Primary
School Kallur.
Gradually the parish leadership suffered a
lot to manage this school. In the course of time, as the parish leadership
realized that it is difficult to manage the school, they handover the
management in to school staff council. The old students from this school
including a lot of politicians and professionals from Kallur but Amballur,
Nenmanikkara, Vattanathra, Vendore etc.
VLP School advanced in educational and extra
curricular activities under the leadership of school management. But number of
students decreased because of the commencement of new schools in nearby places.
Vernacular LP School in educational level grown at increasing rate by the
management of staff. Seventy one teachers had left this school after their
valuable services. Some of them left forever. At present Smt. Rajika teacher lead
this school. The energetic seven colleagues help her to make the school best in
education and extra curricular activities.
Parents Teachers Association plays a vital
role in the promotion of this school. With good support of the PTA, on 2001 school
celebrated its Platinum Jubilee as a festival of this village. VLPS continues its
successful journey still now.
