Sri Annapurneshwari Higher Secondary School Agalpady is one and only one Higher Secondary School in Kumbdaje Village, Kasaragod Taluk, Kerala State. The school situated at Jayanagara at present imparts education to students learning from Standard V to Plus Two. Annapurneshwari Aided lower primary school is in the North West portion of Sri Durgaparameshwai Temple Agalpady, Ubrangala. In this school pupils are taught from standard I to IV. The Annapurneshwari Educational Institutions were founded in the year 1956, by a Sangha named “Dakshina Kannada Jilla Karada Brahmana Vidyabhivardhaka Sangha (R) No. 23, Registered at the Office of the District Registrar of Dakshina Kannada Mangalore. This Sangha was the founder and it was running the School.

In the year 1956, our country Bharatha was divided into different states on the basis of Languages spoken by its people. Prior to 1956, Kasaragod Taluk was a part of old Madras Presidency, and as such the area of Kasaragod Taluk up to Manjeshwara was included into Kerala State. Then the Dakshina Kannada Karada Brahmana Vidyabhivardhaka Sangha (R) Agalpady Ubrangala was renamed as Karada Brahmana Vidyabhivardhaka Sangha (R) Agalpady Ubrangala. The registered documents of our Sangha at Mangalore District Registrar’s Office were transferred to the Office of the Registrar Thalassery, Kerala and were subsequently transferred to the Office of the District Registrar Kasaragod District with the Registered No. 75/1957. The Executive Committee of this Sangha manages and runs the school.

A few buildings collectively seen at Jayanagara in an area about 4 acres is now the developed Sri Annapurneshwari Higher Secondary School, Agalpady. Few decades ago, Karada Brahmanas who were dwelling in Agalpady, Ubrangala, Padre, Bayar, Nidpalli and Taire villages gathered together to uplift the traditional Karada Brahmana culture, and to develop the Karada Brahmana society as a whole founded a Sangha named “Karada Brahmana Abhyudayodyami Sangha Agalpady”. This Sangha with whole hearted cooperation of Karada Brahmanas founded and run the Annapurneshwari Educational Institutions. The well wishers also rendered their help to run the Institutions and to construct the school buildings.

In the year 1923, this Sangha started its first school. Since then the Sangha neither had its own property nor a building to run the classes. Formerly the Sangha started a Sanskrit Patashala in a small building owned by the Sri Durgaparameshwari Matta by the side of the Western Rajangana. Slowly the school so started became an Advanced Sanskrit Patashala and students were prepared for the Sanskrit Entrance Examination. The Sangha constructed a new school building near by the Temple in the year 1947, and then the classes were shifted to the new premises.

In the later years as per the Madras Educational rules, our Advanced Sanskrit School was reinstituted as Oriental High School, and later the school became an Aided General High School.

The Annapurneshwari Aided High School attracted more and more students, and students around the area of 5 to 8 miles were admitted into different classes. The Sangha owned about 4 acres of land at Jayanagara. A new tiled building was constructed by the side of the main road. Then the High School classes, that is, forms III, IV, V and VI were transferred to this new building. A Boarding and lodging house was built to the benefit of students coming from remote areas. The originally built school building was a Pre-KER building. In the year 1963 one more new building was constructed as per the K.E.R. (Kerala Education Act and Rules) measurements. “Bharathi Kripa”, a new 2 storied R.C.C. building was constructed to accommodate the increasing number of students. The construction of the new building began in 1994 and was completed in 2012 and was inaugurated by H.H Sri Sri Keshavananda Bharathi Swamiji of Edneer Mut.

The Institution was a High School until March 2010. The need of the locality was a Plus Two Course. After SSLC, hundreds of pupils rushed to the nearby towns namely Kasaragod, Puttur and Mangalore for their higher studies. Some pupils discontinued their education since they were in want of seats.

After a long struggle, however, the Honorable Government of Kerala upgraded our High School into Higher Secondary School. In Plus Two, Science and Commerce batches were sanctioned with the student strength of 50 each. By March 2013 two batches have gone out with remarkable results. Our school has a well equipped Library and Laboratory. As per the Education Department order we have set up a well equipped Computer laboratory for the use of students learning from standards V to XII with the Internet facility. The Government of Kerala confirms our Computer laboratory as the FIRST BEST COMPUTER LAB of Kasaragod District.

The Golden Jubilee celebration of our Institution was held on 16-04-2006, and on this auspicious day H H Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharathi Theertha Swamiji of Sringeri Mahasamsthanam visited our Institution and blessed all.

Since 2010 the Plus Two classes are conducted in “Bharathi Kripa”. The temporary laboratories are arranged for Science students in the High School building which are in adequate. The Management Committee has started construction work of a new “U” shaped building with 5 laboratories for Science students in the ground floor and an area of 16 class rooms in the 1^st floor and 2^nd floors. The construction work is in progress.
