THE FIRST STEP
"Education is like an ornament in prosperiety and a refuge in adversity"
"Education is the manifestation of the perfection existing in man"
30th
June 1891, this day should be written in golden letters, because it was on this
auspicious day that the seed of "CANARA", a great Educational
Institution was sown by that great soul Sri A. Subba Rao Pai who along with four
visionaries did this noble job.
The Canara High School came into being on 30th June 1891 in a rented building facing the Kodialbail Church. The School had the Emblem of Kamadhenu and the Motto of Satyamvada-Dharmamchara which have been the guiding star to follow.
Looking back over these 110 years, one is struck by the fact that the Institution, now grown into three High Schools, three Primary Schools and two Colleges, and offering education from the K.G. to the Degree to over 6500 boys and girls, continues to this day wihout any working capital. Like a tree that depends on continous supply of life from earth, the Institution has been sustained by the Old Students and friends, generation after generation - and, of course, by divine grace.
My days at Canara High school were full og frolic and fun. For the first time in my life i became very close to a couple of individuals whom i called friends not meaning the true meaning of those very words. Its ironic yet true to note that out of the original 15-20 "friends" only 2 to 3 still bother to tay in touch while the others have settled for a hi and bye.
Those days it was like cricket girls movies fights that were the top priorities. There was Prashant mllya, Mohammedf Waseem Gururaj Purshottam so on and so forth. It was the most glorious years of my education foir yet i was not corrupt by vices of any sort and my concentration was crystal clear not clouded by mists of indifference and the lackadaisical attitude prevalent in professional students of the lower kind
