History of Sadvidya

Sadvidya Educational Institutions have a rich legacy dating back to the reign of Mummadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar, who, despite British oversight, passionately promoted arts and education. Serving as Patron and President, he guided the institution from 1854 to 1868 under the Gurukula-style of teaching.

When full authority returned to the Mysore rulers in 1881, Chamaraja Wodeyar IX expanded educational opportunities across the state, founding hundreds of schools and colleges, including Sanskrit institutions. Under his vision, Sadvidya evolved into a dual English–Sanskrit school, blending traditional values with modern education, and cementing its status as a premier center of learning in Mysore.
