The year was 1935. The Indian
nation was yet to be born.
Ruled by the British regime there
was more deprivation than development. While many chose
the path of fight to gain political
independence, one man with a
vision treaded a different path of
securing academic independence.
Sri N. Ananthachar dared to start a
primary school on 15th August
1935, a date Indian destiny chose
for its independence, twelve years
later. An endowed teacher with a
Master's Degree, the founder of
APS institutions, initially chose to
trade in vegetables in the
Basavanagudi region of Bangalore.
This enterprising spirit soon won
the appreciation of locals and even
Dewan of Mysore among other
literary stalwarts such as
Sri Balasaraswathi, Sri R. Gopala
Krishna Iyengar and others.
The Director of Public Instruction gave this school its recognition in
quick time, in the very next year.
With a
vision to mould the raw youngsters to good citizens and competent
professionals who can take up challenges at international level, it continues its service with a clear
mission to continuously impart quality education with the help of dedicated faculty. It strives to imbibe
technological excellence and social ethics in the students which the founder of the Trust stood for.
Twelve years before the Indian independence, the APS institutions were founded. Eleven years
after independence, it forayed into technical education. The Acharya Patashala Polytechnic was founded
in 1958 under the 2nd Five Year Plan of the Government of India and the Government of Mysore. Founded at a time when
the country was experiencing acute shortage of trained technical men in the field of Engineering it started
imparting education in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
Thus seeds of APS technical education were sown about in Somanahalli in Bangalore South Taluk with the founding of the Polytechnic
on a 100 acre plot of which 90 acres were a generous grant by the Government.
A seat of excellent technical education, the campus was painstakingly developed
with the best infrastructure and facilities such as library and sports.
APS Educational Trust's commitment to technical education is thus deep and demonstrative.
Because of this it has been successful to draw into its fold the cream of students and facility.
I appreciate your interest in our institution and look forward to you being part of the APS family.
