ANNUAL REPORT FOR ACADEMIC SESSION 2019-2020

Sri Jnanakshi Vidyaniketan was founded in the year 2000 with the divine blessings of Mother

Rajarajeshwari and His Holiness Paramapujya Sri Sri Sri Tiruchi Mahaswamigal and His Holiness

Paramapujya Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Sri Sri Sri Jayendra Puri Mahaswamiji. It has grown by leaps

and bounds during the last nineteen years with the sole objective of providing value based quality

education to all - without seeking donation. School fee is moderate too. The strength of students has

gone up to 2,065 and the number of staff to 174.

The magnificent building before you and the massive structure now under construction to

accommodate another 2,000 students is the vision of Paramapujya Swamiji and these constructions

have been made possible with the generous contributions from the devotees of Sri Kailash Ashrama

Mahasamsthana and Rajarajeshwari Temple. The land of five acres and 25 guntas is leased out to Sri

Jnanakshi Educational Institutions Trust by Sri Kailash Ashrama Mahasamsthana Trust. However,

seventeen acres of land are available for our students to enjoy while learning and growing. It is worth

noting that no amount was and is being collected from parents as school building fund or donation.

Funds for the same have been mobilized by devotees locally as well as abroad. The construction work

was stopped temporarily due to scarcity of funds and the work has started once again.

The vision of Paramapujya Swamiji was and is to provide Quality Education to the under privileged,

socially, economically and academically challenged students. Keeping in view with the “vision and

mission” of our titular head, we have 26 philanthropists who have undertaken the cause of educating

51 underprivileged students. Dhrishya Foundation sponsors education for 10 students of our school

and 5 students from Sri Jnanakshi Shobhodaya School. Smt. Radhamani donates Rs. 2 lakhs for

education and midday meals for our sister concern school. 50 staff children are studying in our school

for whom 50% tuition fees is exempted.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES: - By way of infrastructure massive school building houses and provided facilities like well-equipped

computer labs, Audio Visual room, and individual labs for Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Mathematics.

year we are proud to say that we have added 2,613 books for the senior library and a new junior’s

November 2019. 1,200 participants from sixty schools in and around Bangalore participated.

The students of Sri Jnanakshi Shubhodaya School participated in four events and secured prizes

in group dance and solo vocal.

The past academic year went by smoothly with the collective efforts of all involved i.e. teaching and

non-teaching staff of this institution. The management hopes and pray that the same continues in order

that our institutions scales greater heights in the years to come.

Those willing to contribute voluntarily to the development of the school and contribute to the

economically underprivileged students’ tuition fees may do so and such donations are eligible for

possible manner so that they become an ASSET to the society and their parents feel proud of their

Sri Jnanakshi Vidyaniketan re-dedicates its service to uplift the under privileged children so that they

bring laurels to their Alma Mater. Let Goddess Mother Rajarajeshwari and our holy gurus to bless us in

all our future endeavours.
