The Chavakachcheri Hindu College
The Jaffna Chavakachcheri Hindu College which was originally founded by the Late Mr. V. Thamotharampillai was established near the Chavakachcheri Market in the year 1904 and was known as 'Saiva Tamil Mixed School'. This School was transferred to 'Sankaththanai' in 1905. An English medium stream was established in 1921 by the founder Mr. V. Tharmotharampillai. In 1922 this school was handed over to the Management of the Hindu Board and hence the name of this School came to be known as 'Chavakachcheri Hindu College'. The School got its 'C', 'B' and 'A' grades in the years 1934, 1945 and 1949 respectively. It was promoted to that of a 'National School' on the 5th of February 1993.
