This Institution was founded by Dharmapraksha Rao Bahadur Sahukar D. Banumaiah of revered memory, one of the renowned philanthropists of Mysuru, a man who started his career as helper in a shop and soon rose to eminence to be known as the merchant prince of Mysuru. Since he lost his father at the tender age of seven years and he could not get formal education, he had a yearning for providing affordable education to the children of the subaltern, marginalized and oppressed classes.

Along with other like-minded persons of his community he started Kunchitigar Anglo-vernacular School in 1908. Consequent upon some divergent opinion amongst the members of the school committee in 1912, he took over the management of the AV School solely. In 1916 it was converted as D.

Banumaiah’s School. He built a magnificent building for the school which was inaugurated in 1917. This edifice is today regarded as a heritage building in the city of palaces.

Soon the school was upgraded and became a high school.
