About our founder

His legacy lives...

His 150 year old legacy lives on

Our ideas and ideals can never be solid possessions until we express them in life. Every man is aware that this life is fleeting and momentary.

If we want to leave our footprints on the sand of time, we should not drag our feet. With this intention and farsightedness, he set up RBANM ‘s Educational Charities and lit a lamp in every being who wanted to educate himself.

Rai Bahadur Arcot Narrainswamy is a missionary, who envisioned that education is a tool that empowers an individual and at the larger milieu would eradicate poverty and lead the nation on the path of progress. His concept was to make education accessible even for the poorest of poor, and felt that was the way of service to the society.

He came from a family of less fortune and had a testing childhood. He had to shoulder the responsibility of his family from a very young age. He began his life as a travelling salesman, selling vegetables at Madras and salt at Bangalore. He attracted the notice of His highness the Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar III and earned the honour of a visit of his Highness Chama Rajendra Wadiyar. He widened his sphere and bagged the contract for the construction of the magnificent Public Offices in Cubbon Park and made a large fortune and was acclaimed as “Merchant Prince of Bangalore”. It could be said about him Could walk with kings and yet not lose the common touch.

Like Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam feels, “Dreams are really important and our institution is the manifestation of our founder profonde dream. This cherished dream, has become a reality and completed thirty nine successful years of exemplary service in the field of higher education.” To commemorate the occasion , we bring the first edition of Vahini, an annual college magazine.
