Our own modern school the brainchild of Mrs. Saraswathy Sundaresan and the members of her family came into being in the year 1998. On first April 1998, The Janaki Raman Educational Trust was incorporated in the name of Mr. P.N.Raman, an eminent Educationalist and his beloved wife Mrs. Janaki with Mr. Sundaresan is the Managing Trustee.

The school Our Own Modern Matric Hr. Sec. School had a humble beginning. It flagged off as a Primary School in Veerabagu Nagar, Pettai, Tirunelveli with a few or rather a negligible numbers of children. With the untiring and ceaseless efforts put forth by the staff and the management, the school bloomed into a middle and later into a Matric Higher Secondary School.

To accommodate the increasing number of children it became imperative on the part of the management to have a bigger area with spacious classrooms. So the management which had of 1.8 acres in its possession, constructed a building in the calm and quiet place Shastri Nagar, Suthamalli in 2002.

The first phase of the building had seven spacious rooms to its credit. It was inaugurated by Mr. Harmander Singh, the then Commissioner of Tirunelveli Municipal Corporation on 17th Feb 2002 in the august presence of Mr. and Mrs. P.N. Raman to whom the Trust is dedicated.
