Welcome to the hallowed precincts of D. BANUMAIAH'S COLLEGE OF COMMERCE & ARTS, one of the premier institutions of higher education in this part of the country, established in 1949 under the aegis of D. Banumaiah's Educational Institution. The Institution was founded as a Trust in 1919 by DharmaprakashaRaoBahadurSowkar D. Banumaiah, a leading businessman of the erstwhile princely state of Mysore. His was an extraordinary, inspiring tale of rags to riches. As a young man, he strived hard to earn his livelihood. Sheer assiduousness and rectitude, moulded him into a successful merchant. Though he could not get formal education, he had a propensity to help the unfortunate children gain knowledge through education. He started a small school way back in the first decade of the twentieth century, which later grew into a high school and college. He bequeathed almost all of his hard-earned wealth, including his residence, for charitable purposes. His foremost aim was to impart education to one and all, irrespective of caste, creed and economic status of the pupil. His ideal is still being pursued in all the schools and colleges run by this unique institution. The magnificent edifice, which now houses the college, was built in 1917 near the world famous Mysore Palace. It is a matter of pride for us that this building with its fascinating facade is one of the heritage buildings in this beautiful city of palaces. Now the Trust manages the following
