Our motto...
O nanna chetana, aagu nee aniketanaO my spirit, transcend all boundaries
Our school motto is taken from the first line of the poem Aniketana, written by Karnataka's poet laureate Kuvempu in 1956.
Aniketana is a poem of universal and timeless relevance.
In this poem, Kuvempu seeks to break out of the narrow confines of home, religion and country, and to reach for the eternal and the universal.
A household name wherever Kannada is read and spoken, Kupalli Venkatappa Puttappa
(K.V. Puttappa, 1904-1994) is revered as one of the great Kannada
poets of the 20th century. He has written over 70 books, including
poetry, novels, essays and plays.
Kuvempu believed in “manuja mata, vishva patha” (mankind's
religion is the universal path of all people), a philosophy reflected in several
of his poems and essays.
