Madikeri, Jan. 24: It was 1900. Imagine what the area called Marenadu must have been like at that time. Marenadu is an area comprising five villages under the jurisdiction of Birunani Gram Panchayat, about 80 km from the district headquarters Madikeri.
At that time, the amount of rainfall here was 350 to 400 inches... It was a time when there were no roads, bridges, or vehicles in the inaccessible area. The specialty of this area is that it was during this time that emphasis was placed on education.
In Badagarakeri village of Marenadu, as per the concept of the ancestors, a school was started in the year 1900. On this occasion, two acres of land was generously donated by the Mallengad family there to start the school. The Badagarakeri School, which was started then, later became a government higher primary school and has now completed 125 successful years. Thousands of students have built their lives here with knowledge. The 125th anniversary is being celebrated this time with the participation of the country's education enthusiasts, the alumni association, school teachers and villagers.
