Our Founder

A vision born in 1935

Prof. N. Ananthachar (1910–1976) founded Acharya Patashala with a singular conviction — that quality education should reach rural, middle-class and poor families at a cost they could afford.

From a single institution, that vision has grown into a family of colleges and schools that has shaped generations of Bengaluru's students, without ever losing sight of its founding purpose.

"To continuously impart quality education to young knowledge-hungry minds, and to instil technological excellence and social ethics in them."
