Pandithahalli, Karnataka

Karnataka Provincial discusses the SJBHS Bangalore Alumni Batch of 1977 Social Responsibility Project at Pandithahalli, highlighting the alumni’s commitment to supporting education, empowering students, and creating meaningful social impact through initiatives that strengthen learning opportunities and improve the school community.

The Green Energy Program at Pandithahalli uses solar power as a platform for student learning and leadership. Through climate clubs, energy monitoring, and sustainability activities, students gain hands-on experience with renewable energy and environmental stewardship. The project encourages young people to become active participants in building a more sustainable future while supporting the school’s transition to clean, reliable energy. It also serves as a model for other Jesuit institutions across Karnataka.

The SJBHS '77ers' focus on upgrading Pandithahalli's academic facilities has resulted in the establishment of the Fr. Peter Pinto Science Lab, thanks to a generous sponsorship from Prasanth & Padmaja Sakhamuri. The Lab allow students to connect classroom theory with practical experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology. With unfettered access to a high-quality STEM education, students have the opportunity to develop in-demand skills and uplift their communities.

For a young person, a triumph on the sports field can transform into lifelong confidence. SJBHS '77er Sanjay Sani's martial arts studio has proven instrumental in Pandithahalli students' self-esteem and growth. Some have gone on to win local and district competitions, and are now competing at the state level.
