At Sivagiri, we proudly mark our first step with the Kanavu School of English, which also serves as our main branch and the heart of our vision.
The journey of Kanavu School of English began with a simple yet powerful idea — to break barriers and build bridges through language.
Our directors, Mrs. Chitrabanu Duraisamy and Mr. Karthi Easwaramoorthi, returned to their roots after living and working in the United States for 16 years. They chose to come back to their native village, Annamalai Kottai, with a dream to create better opportunities for local people.
Their first step was to launch an IT startup called Kanavu Startup Village. The goal was to provide jobs and empower local talent. They discovered many young people with excellent technical skills but one big challenge — lack of strong English communication skills. Many struggled to communicate confidently with clients and global teams.
Seeing this, our directors knew that true empowerment needed more than just technical training. They wanted to build their team’s confidence to communicate freely in English. To make this vision a reality, they joined hands with Mr. Kumar, an experienced English placement trainer, whose expertise and dedication played a key role in shaping the training methods and guiding students to speak English fluently and fearlessly.
On 8th July 2022, Kanavu School of English opened its doors. What began as a small training center is now growing into a movement — helping students, job seekers, homemakers, and professionals find their voice in English and unlock new opportunities for themselves and their families.
Today, Kanavu School of English stands as a symbol of hope and growth in Sivagiri and beyond — proving that when we dare to dream, no barrier is too big to break.
Together, we speak. Together, we grow. Together, we dream — Kanavu!
