Talking to presspersons here on Thursday, Mathoor Krishnamurthy, Director of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Bangalore, said that H.

The school will have classes from standards one to ten.

Mr. Krishnamurthy also said that the bhavan was committed to the promotion of educational, literary and cultural activities.

Good performance

The bhavan had established schools in different places, and the CBSE school in Mysore was performing exceedingly well, he said.

The institution had taken a decision to set up centres for education and cultural activities in all district headquarter cities. Centres had already been set up in Mysore, Kodagu, Mangalore, Bellary, Belgaum and Bagalkot.
