Shree Gouthamchand Kothari Jain High School saw the light of the day on 30th June 1976. But its origin can be traced to Shree Jain Hindi Vidyalaya which was started in the year 1960 for the benefit of Jains and also other children irrespective of religion. Year by year the strength of the Vidyalaya went up rapidly. So, on 19.11.1968, a registered body Shree Jain Sangh was formed and a premises with an area of nearly two grounds was purchased from the Vidyalaya funds. Donations amounting to, more than one lakh rupees were collected within the Royapuram area itself.
While the construction of the new building of the school was in progress, on 28-1-1972, a student of the baby class of the Vidyalaya, Master Goutham met with an accident which proved fatal to him. To cherish the memory of their beloved grandson M/s. Jaswanthrajji Tarachand Vijaylal Kothari came out with a voluntary offer of donation so as to make the Primary School into a MiddleSchool and also to name the same as Shree Gouthamchand Jain Middle School.
The offer was gladly accepted by the General Body of the Sangh. It was also decided to name the baby class as “Goutham-Shishu Varg”. Soon efforts were made for the recognition of the school by the Government of Tamilnadu.
The recognition was granted from 13.6.1973 and Government granted aid from 1.9.1972 with standards I to VI. As the strength increased year after year, VII and VIII standards were started in the year 1974 and 1975 respectively. AT this juncture, it was felt to upgrade the Middle School to High School and to start IX Std. In the year 1977, ever generous M/s. Jeswanthrajji Tarachanji Kothari came out again with a voluntary donation of for which the Sangh is very grateful to them. For this generous contribution The Sangh has declared the name of the High School as Shree Gouthamchand Kothari Jain High School, so that the memory of theLater Master Goutham Babu may ever shine brightly in the history of the school.
