With a noble vision to educate thousands a team of young gujratis started the Gujrati Pustakalaya and Gujrati Vidyalaya simultaneously. As the inflow of the Gujratis into the rapid developing cotton city increased, the need for a better school arose and it also led to a realization that teaching in Gujrati will not serve the purpose of imparting knowledge in Tamilnadu. As a result, English was introduced as a medium of instruction. Amidst a severe financial crisis, a formal inauguration of the school was arranged on 10th October 1951. Shri Kishandas Kikani and Sri Gopaldas Kikani made a munificent offer which led to the school being name after their late brother as “Shri Baldevdas Kikani Vidhya Mandir” since then.
