History :

Way back in late 1940’s and early 1950’s, the Jayanagar housing layout was formed behind the iconic Lalbagh garden, Bangalore. The area was surrounded by several fruit orchards & villages like Siddapur, Kanakanapalya, Byrasandra, etc.,

At the instance of Late Sri B.V.Narayana Reddy, General Manager of the then The Bank of Mysore Ltd.,the employees of the Bank formed a housing society and with the Banks’ finance a residential colony near the Ashoka Pillar came up in what is now known as 1st Block, Jayanagar.

As there were no schools in the neighbourhood, the employees started a primary school and later a middle school with co-education in the year 1952 in a rented building.

Eventually as popularity of the school grew, the school was upgraded by opening a High School to meet the educational needs of the growing population. In order to run the school in a systematic manner, a Society named as " The Bank of Mysore Employees Education Society " was formed with Sri B.V. Narayana Reddy and other Senior Officers along with the Bank Employee who were residents of the colony. The Society was registered on 21st May 1956.

Thanks to Sri B.V. Narayana Reddy, (he was earlier a respected civil servant of The then Government of Mysore), who used his good offices with City Improvement Trust Board (CITB) and got about 3 acres of land allotted to the Society in the present 1st Block Jayanagar near Madhavan park circle of Bangalore.

FIRST PRESIDENT :-

Rani Sarala Devi, a member of the then Royal family of Wanaparthi State (now in Mehaboobnagar District of Telangana) known to Sri. B.V. Narayana Reddy was generous enough to donate a princely sum of Rs. 30,000/= with which the ground floor portion of the existing sprawling building came up in the year 1956. As she was a well wisher and a sincere social worker, she was made as the First President of The Mysore Bank Employees Education Society.

The Society also unanimously decided to name the Institute as Rani Sarala Devi Educational Institutions.

The school which initially was meant only for girls to impart education in Primary and High School has been converted partly to accommodate boys also up to 7th standard. For more than a decade, ours was only school to cater to the residents of Jayanagar & surrounding areas.

Gradually the demand for education grew due to rapid development of Jayanagar area. Our education society too expanded the intake in Primary School & High School initially, and by adding a P.U. College in 1990 & Degree College in 2014. All the four Institutions are now co-educational.
