The seeds of Prarthana were planted in 2002 by our Founding Father, Shri Ravi Belagere – an independent thinker, provocative journalist, maverick showman and visionary educationist – a man who had a dream – to make inclusion and equal opportunity the pillars of a unique education system, that breaks the mould of elitist quality education.
The seeds of Prarthana were planted in 2002 by our Founding Father, Shri Ravi Belagere - an independent thinker, provocative journalist, maverick showman and visionary educationist - a man who had a dream - to make inclusion and equal opportunity the pillars of a unique education system, that breaks the mould of elitist quality education.
Two decades later, the seeds have taken root as Prarthana - a network of Schools that are propelled by positivity.
As the children of Prarthana flourish as self sufficient individuals we express our gratitude to our Founding founder, and our commitment to grow this tree of wisdom to greater heights, contributing to society and building the best practices for generations to come.

“I firmly believe that quality education serves as the bedrock of our society. Prarthana is our family’s dream child. We felt joyful when we started Prarthana. We didn’t believe that Prarthana would grow exponentially in a short spam of time , all hands to the teachers, workers and parents who mustered to help Prarthana how it is now.”
JaiHind! Jai Karnataka!
Adityodaya Karna Belagere, who obtained his postgraduate degree in Education from the University of Birmingham, UK, is currently serving as the Secretary of Prarthana. In today’s contemporary society, where competition and comparison have become prevalent in education, he strongly believes that urging young minds to compete and compare with one another not only hampers their true potential but also places unnecessary pressure on them. Personally, he believes that competition and comparison should be focused on self-improvement rather than comparing oneself to others. His ultimate objective is to witness children excel in both their professional and personal endeavours.

Mrs Lakshmi believes what defines and differentiates us is the relationships we build with our students, teachers, helpers, students and parents with the values we imbue, our culture richness, besides just academics.
