A pioneer, a visionary who spearheaded an institution with baby steps, has grown steadfastly into 2 huge educational institutions; the honor goes to our founder of St. Sophia Group Of Institutions, the late Shri Kariyanna born on the 24th of December, 1936. A philanthropist in his own right sowed the seed of educating children of all strata of society! A humble and generous gentleman instilled the same onto his family and now is ably led by his son, our present director, Shri Yogesh Sir, and Principal Smt Mahalakshmi Ma'am. Nurturing young minds to become confident and relevant individuals in society with a holistic background is the hallmark of our leadership. Though the baton has been passed on successfully, the values, and principles that Shri Kariyanna Sir stood for, are a legacy to cherish and follow. Shri Kariyanna Sir attained the lotus feet of the Almighty on the 22nd of February, 2000. Let's bow our heads with respect and follow in the path shown by our late founder.
