Madras Progressive Union School

George Town, or Black Town, is one of the oldest settlements of Chennai, established by the British. This congested and crowded area is dotted with many historic buildings, streets and old temples. The Madras Progressive Union School is one such structure that has heritage value.

The Madras Progressive Union Higher Secondary School is located on Audiappa Naicken Street. It was started in 1888 CE. It is one of the oldest surviving schools in Chennai city.

The two popular political parties of Tamil Nadu are named Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam and Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. And in Tamil language, this school is called Chennai Munnetra Kazhagam School. :-)

Happy travelling.
