A group of devout youths of Thrissur founded an organization called the Vivekodayam Samajom in 1917 for the reminiscence of Vivekananda. They founded a primary school named Vivekodayam school to realize the mission of the Samajom. Later the school was bifurcated into two high schools for boys and girls.On 14 October 1927, Mahatma Gandhi visited this school and wrote his comments in the visitors' book of the school. The luminaries of the school, like Swami Chinmayananda, the founder of Chinmaya Mission and Swami Ranganathananda, the President of Ramakrishna Math have expressed their indebtedness to this school for shaping their destiny.
