Gnanabodhini High School

Dubasiplaya is a sub-locality of Kengeri Satellite town at a distance of 17 kilometers from Bangalore City on the Bangalore – Mysore State Highway. The name Kengeri comes from the words tengu coconut and Keri meaning place. The place is still surrounded by coconut farms. In the past it was ruled by a number of dynasties including the Gangas followed by the Cholas. During Tippu Sultan’s reign Kengeri was a famous centre for sericulture industries. A memorial building had been built at the premises of the Kengeri Gurukula Vidya Peetha to commemorate the visits of Gandhiji. Now Kengeri is part of Brahat Bangalore Corporation. It has an average literacy rate of 75% which is higher than the national average of 59.5%. Gnanabodhini Institutions are located at Dubasipalya near Kengeri.

Mother Genevieve Castelino, Superior General of Ursuline Franciscan Congregation bought the land in Gollarahatti for the Ursuline Franciscan Educational Society in 1967. It is at a distance of one kilometer from Gnanabodhini Higher Primary School. ‘Jnanabharathi’, Bangalore University, Government Press and National Institute of Sports are its good neighbors.

The Ursuline Franciscan Sisters’ hallmark is preferential option for the poor. Keeping in mind the commitment “access to education especially of and for the poor”, Gnanabodhini Kannada High School was started in 1985 for the rural poor and Gnanabodhini English High School was started in 1988 to provide education in English Medium to the students of rural area. Fr Pancratius Pinto OFM (Cap) was the first headmaster (1985-86) followed by Sisters Therese D’Souza ( 1986-92), Emily D’Souza (1992-98), and Veena D’Souza (98-2011).

Nagadevanahalli is a part of Brahat Bangalore Corporation. Gollarahatti is a hamlet in Nagadevanahalli. The villagers around are known as KaduGollas. Mother Genevieve Castelino bought the land in Gollarahatti in 1967 for the Ursuline Franciscan Educational Society when she was the Superior General.

The Ursuline Franciscan Sisters’ hallmark is preferential option for the poor. Keeping in mind the commitment “access to education especially of and for the poor”, Gnanabodhini Kannada High School was started in 1985 for the rural poor. FrPancratius Pinto OFM Cap. was the first headmaster (1985-86) followed by Sisters Therese D’Souza ( 1986-92), Emily D’Souza (1992-98), and Veena D’Souza (98-2011). The Institution is grateful for their relentless efforts in bringing it up. Since 2011 Sr Therese D’Souza is holding the baton again.

For nearly a decade the High School took shelter in the Holy Family Convent building. In 1995 the School was shifted to Gollarahatti since in the Higher Primary School the number of students as well as activities showed considerable growth as the years passed by. The Holy Family campus could not sustain this; and the High School students needed more space. Therefore the Management decided rightly to shift the High School to Gollarahatti. Sr Emily D’Souza, the then headmistress, constructed the school building. The cost of construction was funded by the Generalate.

In 1987 the Government notified the acquisition of the land for a private housing society. The laborious efforts of Sr Gemma and Sr Lilly Pinto who ran from pillar to post to have the land de-notified, saved the School from further problems. Now this area comes under Brahat Bangalore Corporation limits.

Gnanabodhini Kannada High School is one of the best schools in the area. It has a good infra- structure, a large playground, digital class rooms, computer lab, science lab, and a good library. The campus is ever green and clean giving a beautiful face to the School. Being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it can claim a conducive atmosphere for learning as its other specialty.

The Institution prepares students not only for better careers in life but also finds ways and means to make the students a strong hope of our future society. 1,165 students have passed out from the portals of this School with flying colours.

Gnanabodhini English Medium High School was established in the year 1988. Sr Therese D’ Souza, was the first headmistress. She is a woman of few words but with a fine spirit of hope and achievement. The staff was equally talented and committed; this contributed greatly to the improvement of the School. Her successors Sr. Emily D’Souza and Sr. Veena D’Souza both undaunted personalities during their term as headmistresses left no stone unturned for the all-round growth of the School.

The overcrowded classrooms had to be bifurcated and additional classrooms needed had to be constructed to accommodate the students. Sr. Veena not only attended to this need effectively but also built a multi-purpose open auditorium which is a glowing proof of her foresight and competence.

Gnanabodhini High School, rendering Yeomen services to the society through its educational activities since 1985, has turned 25 and celebrate its Silver Jubilee in 2010. The celebration was marked with 25 years fruitful service to the society with the finale on 15 th December 2010. It was graced by Archbishop of Bengaluru Rt. Rev.

Since then 8 th 9 th and 10 th std begin to have two sections each.

The school has gained applauses from Education Department and the public for moulding the students in discipline as well as good sports persons. The school Volleyball team has represented Karnataka State and played at the national level in the year 2012. The school has well equipped Band set which is awarded as the best Band set in Bengaluru South District by the Education department and the public.

Mr.Chauriraj, MA, B.Ed was awarded the Best Teacher in 2013 by the Department of Public Instruction and the Diocese of Bengaluru for his excellent service towards education. After the retirement of Sr.Theresa D’souza in April 2014, Sr. Jacintha Pereira took over the administration as Headmistress of the school in June 2014. Under her able leadership the school excelled in curricular and co-curricular fields. In 2014-15 our student Swetha S. Scored 618 out of 625 in S.S.L.C exam, the best ever individual score in the history of the school. She was honoured by the school management.

The need for improvement and upgrading the modern facilities was felt. In this regard for qualitative education and to meet the demands of the digital world the school has began smart class room in 2016 and additional computer lab with 15 computers for Kannada Medium Section.

For safe and clean drinking water facility R.O water purifier plant was installed. It was donated by our old student (Mr.Reddy). A new toilet block for boys was added to the structure in the year 2016.

The Ursuline Franciscan Blooms (UFB) unit was started in the school on Dec 8 th 2016. The catholic students are members of this unit. Special attention is given to these students to form them in catholic faith formation, values based and disciplined persons.

It was a great honour for the school when the top scorer of the school in S.S.L.C exam in 2017 April, Akshay L (616/625) was facilitated by the UFES at the Generalate on May 25 th 2017 during the 34 th General Body Meeting .

Be it sports or any other competition, the students of Gnanabodhini would always come triumphant. Gnanabodhini competes successfully even with Bangalore City schools and is acclaimed one of the best in the district. Many students have represented the State at National level athletics competitions and volley ball tournaments. One of the students represented the Country in Volley Ball. Getting
‘The Best School’ award for SSLC results is the hallmark of Gnanabodhini. Committed, enthusiastic, cooperative and talented staff is behind such successes and achievements. 1,643 students have passed successfully through the Institution. 354 are pursuing their education presently.

The need of the hour is to convert the land and regularize the unauthorized buildings and aim for a Pre University College. The Institution fosters good neighborly relations with those in the neighborhood, and with civil and public authorities. It promotes harmony and spirit of common brotherhood among all the people, transcending diversities based on religion, language, caste and gender, helping to cultivate the many qualities and attitudes mentioned among the fundamental duties of every citizen marching on with grace and success.
