Early Years
Shri Hanumantha Rao was flung into hardship at the age of three after his father & hotelier Shri R Shamanna’s demise. His uncles then swindled his illiterate mother. Now with a family to support, he worked as a waiter in his father’s hotel. However, his life’s story is about how true grit and vision decimates adversity.

Sree Vinayaka Education Society
Studying while he toiled, he learnt all too well how important education was. Mr. Rao came up with the idea to start his own school. This was the Sri Vinayaka Education Society at Cubbonpet in 1964. Sadly, he had to give it away due to caste barriers prevalent at the time.
