Sharnbasveshwar Residential Public School - Vidya Nagar

The establishment of Sharnbasveshwar Residential Public School in 1967, the brainchild of His Holiness poojya Dr. Sharnbaswappa Appa, has fulfilled the long felt need of the people of this region, who carved for excellent education. The idea is to impart education in the most modern and scientific method, with English as the medium of instruction to the children hailing from the rural areas of the country, who are generally denied this privilege. Equally important, is to inculacte in the minds of the growing children the great and timeless values of culture, tradition and heritage of this great country.The school became a Residential School in 1970 and was recognised by the Indian Public Schools Conference in 1993. The School conforms to the excellent standars of education and more significantly, its endeavour to make available to the people of this region, the Public School education, which was then affordable only to the elite and princely class, is commendable.This is the first English medium Residential High School and Junior College in the whole of the Hyderabad Karnataka Region, which consists of three districts. It is a secular institution open to the children of all communities. Especially, it caters to the educational needs of the children living in the rural areas of the region. Today, the school has 4500 students in its roll. (From Montessori to PUC).In the lineage of this great philosophy, the seventh descendant of Mahadasoha Peetha, Poojya Doddappa Appa came as a saviour for the people of this backward region, which was suffering the undue double yoke of the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Britishers. It was Doddappa Appa's firm belief that no creature should be a victim of slavery because he perceived that spirit resides in all creatures. This spiritual attitude and outlook of Poojya Doddappa Appa paved the way for the freedom movement. Back in 1918 when the First World War was still going on and when Osmania University was established in the Nizam's State, Poojya Doddappa Appa established Sharanabasaveshwar Public Library in Gulbarga region to create awareness and awaken the people of this region.
