Government Model School Yelur Marks 150 Years of Educational Service

Established in the pre-independence era, the school has adapted over time to meet the evolving needs of rural learners.
It has offered generations of students from Yelur and nearby villages access to meaningful, quality education.

The celebration reflected the institution’s deep roots and wide impact. Thousands of students educated here have contributed to society in diverse roles. The school continues to stand as a symbol of how rural education can build empowered, self-reliant communities.

Padma Vibhushan Shri Sharad Pawar, Former Union Minister and Former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, was the Chief Guest. Dr Prabhakar Kore, Hon’ble Chairman of KLE Society, was the Guest of Honour and addressed the gathering.
