The Govt. School for Women, Thiruvananthapuram is one of the main instructive establishments in Kerala. It was begun as the Sircar Girl's School, in 1864 by the Royal group of Travancore .The Travancore Royal Family is eminent for ground breaking, dynamic arrangements and edified methods for its individuals.
