History

TFFS was promoted in 1981 Joya Mitter (1936-1999), a Kolkata-based social activist, with the aid and advice of P.K. Bhattacharya (1905-1984), a trustee of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry. The duo was introduced to Lakshmi Devi, a Sri Aurobindo disciple, by The Mother. Lakshmi Devi donated her sprawling home in Tollygunge, Kolkata to the ashram, which invited Joya Mitter to establish TFFS on its premises. Joya Mitter served as founder-principal of the school in its formative years and modeled it on the ancient gurukul system of teaching. After her demise in 1999, Ranjan Mitter was appointed as the principal of the school. [5]
