Bengaluru, October 24, 2025 : Inventure Academy, supported by Prestige Group and the Navodaya Foundation of
Jaya and Phaneesh Murthy, today inaugurated its flagship Public-Private
Partnership (PPP) initiative at GUMS Siddahosanahalli, located near its new
Yeshwanthpur (YPR) campus. The event was graced by the Chief Guest, Irfan
Razack, Chairman and Managing Director of the Prestige Group, Co-Founder &
Chairman of Inventure Academy, and by senior officials from the Department of
Public Instruction (DDPI).
The
day also marked the launch of the High School at Siddahosanahalli, with a
ground-breaking ceremony to commence construction of the new High School Block.
The Prestige Group will take up the construction as the project’s
infrastructure partner — a key step in Inventure’s ongoing effort to strengthen
government school education through public-private collaboration.
This
adoption marks a significant step in Inventure’s commitment to transform
government schools and build 100,000
changemakers by leveraging its private school ecosystem to benefit children
from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.
Scaling the Inventure Way: Building 100,000
Changemakers
In
line with Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar’s recent call for greater CSR
participation in strengthening Karnataka’s schools, Inventure Academy and the
Prestige Group have been demonstrating what such collaboration can look like in
action. Since 2019, Inventure has partnered with the Department of Public
Instruction to transform the Government
Higher Primary School, Ramagondanahalli (GHPS), into a model English-medium
government school—a long-term initiative to reimagine what quality, accessible
education can mean for every child. With Karnataka already leading the nation
in CSR investments in education, this partnership stands as a living example of
how policy vision and institutional commitment can together shape a more
equitable learning ecosystem.
Inventure’s model has
already shown impact at GHPS Ramagondanahalli, where student enrolment grew
from 190 in 2019 to more than 1,000 in 2024–25, attendance reached 96%, and the
first two SSLC batches recorded a 100% pass rate, well above the state average.
Community engagement reached 90% parent participation, and students had
opportunities in academics, arts, sports, and innovation projects.
Entrepreneurship Education in Action: Real
Impact at Ramagondanahalli
One
hallmark of Inventure’s approach is bringing
entrepreneurship and innovation learning into classrooms. At
Ramagondanahalli, for example:
Shivani Nath, a
student at the school, shared:
“I
came to this school with fear, but I can’t imagine a better place. The ‘student
voice’ is valued here, and we have opportunities in academics, sports, arts,
and more. We even started a bridge school to bring out-of-school children back
to education.” (indiannewsandtimes.com)
At
Siddahosanahalli, this spirit is being scaled up through an entrepreneurship
program,originally pioneered at the Yeshwanthpur campus.
Students
will gain access to learning resources, maker tools, and mentorship support from
the YPR campus, guided weekly by Inventure faculty and peer mentors.
This
peer-led engagement turns Siddahosanahalli into a living lab for entrepreneurship education, ensuring innovation
and leadership opportunities are shared across communities, not just within
private school walls.
Scope & Partnership Model for
Siddahosanahalli
Over
a five-year phased rollout, Inventure will:
●
Establish English medium classrooms
from Preschool through to High School in a phased manner.
●
Building new High School block to support higher education
●
Develop curriculum, lesson plans, and assessment frameworks aligned with state
learning goals
●
Provide 300+ hours of annual teacher
mentoring and professional development
●
Introduce programs in STEM, life skills, arts, and entrepreneurship in
collaboration with NGOs and community partners
●
Monitor and track learning outcomes for continuous improvement
Why
This Matters
Many families in
Siddahosanahalli come from migrant or underserved backgrounds and face
significant barriers to accessing quality education. The combination of English
medium education along with learning Kannada, teacher development, and peer mentoring from the YPR campus
provides a unique, sustainable solution.
Nooraine Fazal, Founder & Managing
Trustee, Inventure Academy, said:
“Education in the 21st century cannot be
about just transferring information to children or completing a syllabus for
the purpose of preparing for a year-end exam; it is about enabling every human
being to fulfil their potential, ignite change and create a positive impact.
Siddahosanahalli is not just another school adoption—it’s the embodiment of our
Inventure Academy, Yeshwantpur campus powered model, where the best of
international quality education and public education meet to build deeper peer
mentoring, innovative thinking, and real impact opportunities.”
Sumedha Rao, Program Director, Inventure
Community Schools
“We are excited to create another beautiful
space here with high-quality, value-based education using the Inventure way of
teaching and learning that has been highly successful in RGH. We look forward
to creating a model school of educational excellence in the North Block that
will set a benchmark in quality education like our school in Ramagondanhalli.”
A Larger Commitment to Quality Public
Education
Since
adopting Ramagondanahalli in 2019, Inventure has demonstrated how
private-public collaboration can change outcomes: enrollment growth of over
250%, consistent high attendance, and strong community participation.
Siddahosanahalli takes this further by embedding
peer-driven mentorship and entrepreneurship education, making it both
transformative and replicable.
