History and Evolution

The inspiring journey of Agniparavakal from its inception to present day

Vijayaparvam - The Beginning

Government Model Boys School in Alappuzha transformed from 100% failure rate to 100% success in just 100 days through the leadership of alumnus and film director Sri. Fazil, with support from the alumni association and CLASS organization.

This inspiring story later became the Malayalam film "Manikyakkallu" (2008).

Birth of Agniparavakal
