Social Focus

Arul Jothi Vallalar Higher Secondary School

We at Balavigna Weaving Mills realize that education has a vital role in the formation of a nation. Thus we operate our school to make an effort to contribute to the society through education. We have been the pillar of support for various charitable trusts and educational institutes generating quality education.
