Mrs. Ambuja Venkataraman
The Founder
Mrs. Ambuja Venkataraman was born and raised in a joint family in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh. She was the third among five siblings. Her father, a lawyer, moved his family to Bangalore in the early 1940’s, where she completed her education. She was an individual who was modern in her outlook and much ahead of her times, entering areas which were uncommon for women. Her career started with Tata Airlines (now Air India) as an Air Hostess. She later went on to act in the South Indian stage and films, married an engineer Mr. T.R. Venkataraman from Madras, before embarking on her true vocation in life, which was education.
This institution was started with the intention of providing quality education to people from all backgrounds because she grew up at a time when it was available only for the privileged. Mrs. Venkataraman envisioned how education could bring a change in the lives of people. With this aim, she started a kindergarten and primary school in Jayanagar 8 Block. She had to encounter enormous hurdles and obstacles to make her dream a reality. Her passion, zeal and enthusiasm enabled her to pursue her ambition of providing quality education.
Her compassion for the deserving and the needy people in the society was never overlooked. The school always had seats reserved for the disadvantaged students, much before the inception of the Right to Education, by the Government of India.
Her initial vision has now shaped into what the school is today which is listed under one of the good schools in South Bangalore – an educational institution which delivers quality education to over a 1000 children at our schools near JP nagar.
Mrs. Venkataraman was also an animal lover and could not tolerate cruelty in any manner towards them. She was an active member of the SPCA in Bangalore for several years, working actively against cruelty to animals.
Mrs. Venkataraman has two daughters Mrs. Ameetha Chari and Mrs. Jayanthi Mehta, who are both in the field of education. Her older daughter took over the running of the school after her death in 1984.
