School with a Difference

We cannot charge fees for academics as well as for infrastructure since we provide 100% free education to rural children from economically challenged families. All the expenditure has to be borne by the school while the income of the school is nil. To sustain the continuous and efficient operations of the school, the management has to continuously raise funds from all sources to pay the salaries of the teaching and support staff and to maintain the teaching and academic standards for the students. At the same time build and maintain the minimum infrastructure required by the students of the school.

Kannada Medium School

Rashtrotthana Vidyalaya, Holehonnur believes that the medium of instruction has to be the mother tongue for children up to their secondary school. Hence, the medium of instruction is Kannada which is the mother tongue of all the students.
