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 disciple of Sri Aurobindo, 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 the founder-principal of the school in its formative years and modelled it on the ancient gurukul system of teaching.[5] After her death in 1999, Ranjan Mitter was appointed as the principal of the school.[6]
