V. N. Swami (born 1931 in Manambuchavadi, Thanjavur district) is a veteran journalist, author, and chronicler of modern Indian history whose works focus on the Indian freedom struggle and the often-overlooked contributions of journalists, Islamic scholars, and marginalized communities. Widely respected in journalistic and literary circles, Swami has remained an active writer for more than seven decades, with a passion that continues well into his nineties.

== Early Life and Education ==
Born as Vandu NagaSwami Samayya, his name evolved into the widely recognized “V. N. Swami” due to a school registration error and later journalistic usage. Swami completed his SSLC at Veeraraghava High School, Thanjavur, and equipped himself with shorthand and Tamil typewriting skills—tools that would become crucial in his journalistic career.
At the age of 19, he became the assistant to the social reformer Periyar E. V. Ramasamy, accompanying him on travels, recording his speeches, and preparing them for publication in Viduthalai. This early experience not only shaped Swami’s writing skills but also gave him deep exposure to socio-political thought and grassroots activism.

== Career in Journalism ==
Swami’s career in journalism began after short stints in clerical and typing assignments. Encouraged by mentors and senior journalists, he joined the newly launched Tamil Nadu newspaper in Madurai. His career, however, was marked by resilience, as he faced challenges such as suspensions and dismissals during the formative years of the press industry.
In 1968, Swami joined Dinamani, where he served until his retirement in 1989 as Chief Correspondent. His insightful columns, especially “Celebrities” (a Monday feature on political events), earned him a loyal readership. Beyond Dinamani, Swami also contributed to newspapers like Engal Naadu and Dina Seithi, and to periodicals such as Tughlaq, where he wrote on rare court judgments and historical anecdotes.

== Author and Historian ==

Swami’s body of work extends far beyond daily journalism. His books highlight the contributions of Muslims, revolutionary women, tribal communities, Saurashtrians, and even foreign women in the Indian independence struggle—groups often neglected in mainstream histories. He has received Kalaignar Ezhuthukole Award in 2021, the first recipient of this award, for his 50+ years of contribution to journalism.
Some of his most noted works include:
• Suthanthira Porattathil Sourashtrar (2019)
• Vidhuthalai Poril Pazhangudi Makkal (2019)
• Pugalpettra Kadarporgal (Famous Seawars), honored with awards from Thanjavur Tamil University, the Seethakaathi Foundation (2019), and the Thiruvika Award (2020) by the Tamil Nadu Government.
His research into the role of Islamic scholars and Maulanas during the freedom struggle further underscores his dedication to documenting inclusive histories. Swami is presently engaged in writing a comprehensive history of the Indian independence movement, a project that reflects both his scholarly rigor and his lifelong passion for recording history.

== Legacy ==
Though retired from formal journalism more than three decades ago, Swami remains deeply committed to writing and research. His journey—from a teenage assistant to Periyar, to Chief Correspondent of Dinamani, to an award-winning author—represents the resilience of a generation that bridged activism, journalism, and historical scholarship.
V. N. Swami’s work stands as a testament to the power of the written word in preserving collective memory and honoring the unsung heroes of India’s freedom movement.

[[File:Malli School professional photo resize.jpg|thumb]]
Malli Vidhyalaya High School, located in Nilayur, Madurai, stands as a beacon of hope and progress for hundreds of children from families of weavers and daily wage workers. Since its inception in 2012, the school has been committed to transforming lives through affordable, value-based, and holistic education. Operated under the umbrella of Malli Educational Services (MES), a registered trust, Malli Vidhyalaya has steadily grown into a vibrant institution that nurtures academic excellence, sportsmanship, cultural pride, and ethical values.

A Vision Rooted in Service

The story of Malli Vidhyalaya is closely tied to the vision of its founders, Mr. Malli S Subramanian, a handloom garments supplier. His dream was simple yet powerful: to provide quality education to children in and around Nilayur, many of whom come from underprivileged families with limited access to English medium education. With this vision, MES was established as a registered trust in 2012, following government regulations, with its accounts audited annually for transparency.
The Trust has invested in a 10,000 sq. ft. CBSE-compliant facility built on 3.75 acres of land in Nilayur, creating a safe and inspiring environment for learning. The governance process is simple and transparent—with guidance from respected community elders, while family members actively support operations. Academic matters are led by the school principal, while administrative responsibilities are handled by the school manager.

== Growth from Strong Foundations ==
The roots of MES go back even further. In 1998, the Trust began its journey with Jayam Pavithra Nursery and Primary School at Kaithari Nagar, which continues to serve over 175 students from KG to Class V. Building on this success, Malli Vidhyalaya High School was launched in 2012 to extend education from Classes VI to X. Today, the school caters to around 100 students, with the support of 7 teaching staff and 3 non-teaching staff, ensuring individual attention and a nurturing environment.

== Academic Excellence with a Human Touch ==

Malli Vidhyalaya has consistently achieved 100% pass results in board examinations, with a focus not just on the top rankers but on improving the performance of every student. In the previous academic year, the school recorded an impressive average score of 85%, with the highest achiever scoring 481 out of 500 marks. Two students secured perfect scores in Social Science, reflecting the school’s emphasis on both excellence and consistency.

Teachers provide special attention to slow learners, ensuring no child is left behind. The curriculum integrates digital learning tools from reputed online providers, making education interactive and relevant. Beyond the classroom, the school also promotes weekend learning programs in Hindi, MS Office, and internet usage to prepare students for future academic and professional needs.
The school library plays an active role in fostering reading habits. Students are encouraged to borrow books weekly and share content summaries, strengthening comprehension and communication skills. To broaden cultural understanding, every festival is celebrated with stories and explanations, creating a vibrant learning culture rooted in inclusivity.
== Values and Life Skills Education ==

At Malli Vidhyalaya, education goes hand in hand with values and life skills. The school has adopted the nine core human values identified by UNESCO—Love and Compassion, Self-awareness and Self-management, Peace and Justice, Sensitivity and Creativity, Spirituality, Truth and Wisdom, Citizenship, Environmental Morality, and Health and Nutrition. Each month, one value is celebrated and deeply integrated into school activities, ensuring that children not only learn about values but also practice them in daily life.
From instilling habits like eating healthy food to promoting positive behavior through recognition pins, the school ensures character-building is central to its mission. Students also benefit from regular counseling sessions, which promote emotional well-being and resilience.

== Sports and Extracurricular Excellence ==
The spacious school ground is a hub of physical activity, hosting sports like volleyball, throwball, running races, long jump, high jump, and discus throw. The much-awaited annual sports day is a four-hour event where finalists showcase their skills after a month-long training and selection process.
Students are also encouraged to pursue martial arts and traditional practices like Yoga, Karate, and Silambam. Many have brought laurels to the school by winning prizes in state and national tournaments. Cricket tournaments, cultural events, and creative writing competitions further enrich the student experience. Clubs foster leadership qualities, while daily practices such as a “Word of the Day” promote language development and positivity.

== Health and Community Care ==
The Trust strongly believes in the well-being of its students. Regular medical camps—general, dental, and eye—are organized at the school, along with vaccination drives to ensure children’s health. By making healthcare accessible within the school premises, parents and students benefit from preventive care and awareness.
Affordable, Inclusive, and Community-Oriented
Around 80% of Malli Vidhyalaya’s students belong to the Sourashtra community, with many coming from families engaged in weaving or daily wage labor. The school charges only a nominal fee, just enough to cover operational costs, while major infrastructure and developmental expenses are funded directly by the Trust. This model ensures that no deserving child is denied education due to financial constraints.

== Looking Ahead ==
From its humble beginnings, Malli Vidhyalaya High School has grown into a respected institution known for its academic results, holistic education, value-based learning, and community service. With the continued dedication of its founders, staff, and well-wishers, the school is committed to nurturing future generations who are not only knowledgeable but also compassionate, responsible, and resilient citizens.
In the words of its founders, Malli Vidhyalaya is more than just a school—it is a movement to empower children through education, laying the foundation for a brighter future for families and the community of Nilayur.
