About our School
T. Sunandamma, a well-known freedom
fighter, and Social worker, an ardent devotee of Sai Baba, a sincere follower of
Mahathma Gandhiji, with the support of her husband Narasimha Iyenger and a few
other like-minded persons founded the Trust in Mysore and got it registered in
1957. This Trust, named Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Mahila & Makkala Koota
Trust, began to function in a humble way, by starting a nursery school in the
residence of Sunandamma, the then Sole Managing Trustee. There were only three children
and one teacher. Sunandamma's ambition was to start a school for special
children too (M.R & Physically Handicapped). This was only short lived and
for want of several requirements, it was later completely abandoned. But the
nursery school gradually grew, gained momentum and took the shape of a lower
Primary School with four teachers.
The objectives of the Trust are high
and noble, not confining to the field of education only.
The main objective is to provide
quality education based on Indian Culture and Spirituality as well as human
values both contained in the message of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, to the Children of
educationally and economically very backward families of slums and villages in
and around Mysore city.
As the students' number increased year
by year, in 1962, the Mysore City Improvement Trust Board, recognizing and respecting
the noble cause of this Trust generously allotted a spacious site in Ashram Road,
Jayalakshmipuram, Mysore on a long lease.
The foundation stone for the
construction of the School building was laid graciously by Bhagavan Sri Sathya
Sai Baba in response to the earnest prayer of Sunandamma and others, on
September 15th 1963.
The School with its nursery section
and I to IV standards, named as Sri Sathya Sai Baba Lower Primary School, got recognition
from the Department of Public Instruction Karnataka State, in 1963.
By 1966 the school became a full-fledged
Higher Primary School.
The first batch of 7th Standard
children (boys and girls) wrote the 7 standard District Public Examination and
got 100% pass results.
Heeding the earnest prayer and tearful
entreaties of Sunandamma, Swami out of His boundless compassion, accepted at
long last, the School and the Trust, offered at His Lotus feet with humility
and devotion.
Since then Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai
Baba has been the Sole Trustee and President of this Trust. Entrusting the management
to Sri Sathya Sai Trust, Karnataka and locally to the Bhagavan Sri Satya Sai
Baba Mahila and Makkala Koota Trust, at Mysore.
The Trust and the School have
completed 62 years of Educational Service, spreading the message of Sri Sathya
Sai Baba, containing the essence of Universal love, Sarvadharma Samanvaya (Harmony
of all Religions) and Education in Human Values ( now shaped into Educare) -
among children so that they learn these noble values right from their tender age.
The school has been giving attention
to the good conduct and character of children both in and outside the
classroom. Children's performance in sports and other extracurricular
activities, with due training given by teachers has been very good and has won
many prizes and trophies. Their academic achievement also has been very good
and the School has earned the best School of the District Award in the year
2000 - 2001.
All this is by the Grace and Guidance,
Love and Blessings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. In 2014, we started English Medium
classes up to SSLC in State Syllabus.
Students are faring very well both in
academic and co-curricular activities. The very first batch got 100% pass
results in SSLC Public Examination in 2018-19.
