Vision of excellence spins success story
Way back in 1940s a group of like minded women came together with a desire to achieve the impossible and with an unrelenting zeal to make their dream, a reality. Their congregation gave birth to Dakshina Bharata Mahila Samaj (DBMS) in August 1944.
In the initial years, classes were conducted in a small house at the BH Area in Kadma. Later, the school expanded and thus came up the DBMS Hindi Medium Girls' High School in 1961. With every passing day the school started adding a new feather to its cap and every wish culminated into a reality.
