But, so far, good quality education has been available only to well-to-do sections of society, and the poor have been left out. It was felt that children with special talent or aptitude should be provided opportunities to proceed at a faster pace, by making good quality education available to them, irrespective of their capacity to pay for it.These talented children otherwise would have been deprived of quality modern education traditionally available only in the urban areas.
Such education would enable students from rural areas to compete with their urban counterparts on an equal footing. The National Policy on Education-1986 envisaged the setting up of residential schools, to be called Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas that would bring out the best of rural talent.
The land of great poets and writers, political and religious leaders, Malappuram has carved a place of its own in the history of Kerala and hence its historical significance. The Kings of Valluvanad, the Zamorins, the kings of Perumpadappu Swarupam and the Kings of Vettathunadu, were the early rulers of historical Malappuram. The Portugese, Mysore Sultans and the Britishers, had their sway over this place,and has been indirectly instrumental in shaping the unique, social and cultural heritage of the historically important destination of Malappuram.
