Brief History of the Association
The R.P.E.S. was established in
1969 with the main objective of
preventing exploitation in the field
of education. This is an institution
which has been started by the
parents of the locality to provide
access to cost-effective and
quality education so as to suit all
sections of the society.
The association not only aims at
achieving academic excellence
but also the inculcation of moral
and spiritual values. So, teaching moral awareness along
with the prescribed curricula has been the hall mark of the
association. The Association’s concern to make itself
available to the comprehensive development of the
society was profoundly appreciated by the Government of
Karnataka and permission is given to the Association to
manage from nursery to postgraduate level.
Dr. D.S. Shivananda
President - A leading light of our institution.
Take up one idea, Make that
One idea your life, think of it,
Dream of it, live on that idea,
Be full of that idea and just
Leave every other idea alone.
This is the way to success.
