A School that was founded in 1935 became an Institution from 1936 and grew up to a group of Institutions under the aegis of Acharya Pathasala as a registered ‘Association’. The Tremendous growth of several Schools & Colleges of Acharya Pathasala and its acquisition of a sprawling campus at Somanahalli made it inevitable for the Association to be converted into a Public Trust which was registered on 16th May 1975 and was renamed as ‘Acharya Pathasala Educational Trust’ during the tenure of Sri K.M.Nanjappa as its President and Sri.Ananthachar as its Secretary.
