History
[edit]The history of this high school goes back to its middle school the vernacular school of 1884. The leaders of Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmins during the British rule in India took the task of spreading education. Ananth Shanthappayya Nadkarni a.k.a. Budavant master from Bankikodla started the school in 1884. Datt master (D. A. Nadkarni a nephew of headmaster Ananth S. Nadkarni) was the headmaster of this middle school from 1911 to 1941. Perhaps, the vernacular middle school of 1884 is considered as one of the oldest vernacular schools in the nation. Later the middle school was upgraded to Anandasharm High School in 1941. In the early days, classes were held in Bakanatheshwar temple and in Dinu Master's (D. M. Nadkarni) house.
