Our History & Legacy
Kittur Rani Channamma Residential Sainik School for Girls (KRCRSSG) is a beacon of women's empowerment and quality education in India. Established in 1967 under the visionary leadership of Shri S.R. Kanthi, the then Minister of Education, this institution was founded to honor the indomitable spirit and legacy of Kittur Rani Channamma, the fearless queen who fought against British colonial rule.
The foundation stone of this prestigious institution was laid by the then Prime Minister of India, Smt. Indira Gandhi, symbolizing the nation's commitment to girls' education and empowerment. The school was formally inaugurated in 1969 by Dr. V.K.R.V. Rao, Union Minister for Education.
