Several years ago, the Kerala government had a plan to close down this school citing that there are better facilities for higher studies of music elsewhere in the state than here. In 2012, it faced near closure. The arbitrary decision taken by the government invited large protests from social activists, politicians, music directors of Malayalam films besides a number of musicians, art-cultural-social activists. The strike/darna was held under the leadership of Prof. K.B.Unnithan with support from Vidhyadharan Master, the famous music director of Malayalam films. The students and patrons of the school played no less role in the strike against the termination of this old music school. A memorandum was submitted to CM Oommen Chandy regarding SRV music school termination.
