It has been decided to celebrate birth centenary celebrations of both the school and its alumni, HN with meaningful programmes.
CM to take part
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will inaugurate the programme in Hosur in Gauribidanur taluk on January 31.
Besides, he will also release a book on school development.
“We wanted to celebrate the centenary year celebrations in 2023 but due to Covid and other reasons, it did not take off. January 31 happens to be
HN’s death anniversary. So, we decided to hold the programme on the day,” said school’s centenary year celebration committee. Programmes have been lined up to improve the school that the state has seen among the model schools and other programmes that reflect values like - scientific temper and importance of education - that HN had strongly believed in.
