About Anandashram High School
How It Started
The historic town of Ullal lies 18 Kms from Mangaluru’s city centre and was once a sleepy fishing village but gained fame after Rani Abbaka Chowta ruled from here in the mid-Sixteenth Century. Today it is almost engulfed by the burgeoning city of Mangaluru, but still retains its old-world charm.
It was here in 1946, that the Saraswat Education Society acquired 6.5 acres of land in Koṭekar locality, to construct the Anandashram High School and later a Pre-University College which would cater to the predominantly semi-urban and rural population.
The Anandashram High School, Kotekar began in 1946 as a branch of the Gaṇapathy High School, Mangaluru with just 6 classrooms. Overcoming severe financial constraints, the school gradually established all basic amenities like a well for drinking water, a games room, a shed for school bullocks, washrooms, a stage, additional furniture, and a temporary shed consisting of two classrooms, all of which enabled the school to become a full-fledged High School in 1956. The school hall was added in 1971 and the main building underwent major modernization in 1972.
Making a mark
The school has made its mark in academics, extra-curricular activities and sports, all of which have received wide public recognition and appreciation.
Today, the Anandashram High School offers facilities for both academic pursuit and physical fitness.
The school has students from the local area as well as from the closeby Kasargod District of North Kerala.
