In 1960, a Kannada-medium school was started at St. Mary\u2019s campus, for which Brothers were instrumental and a big support. Later, an English-medium school was started, and Rev. Br. Matthew SHJ was its first Principal. In 1963, the building where the orphan boys were housed temporarily became the birthplace of St. John\u2019s Medical College.

It was at the initiative of Rev. Br. Arputham SHJ that this place at Geddalahalli was purchased, overcoming a lot of challenges. But the Providence of God never failed. Hailing the good work of Brothers, Mr. Joseph Reddy, a good Catholic and a well-known philanthropist, donated a piece of land on April 29, 1963, at Lingarajapuram, and in addition to that, Brothers bought an additional piece of land and started social work initially.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c6bb97 dsvy-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"2c6bb97\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a137d1 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-position-top elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"4a137d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"413\" height=\"505\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shsociety.org.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SAGAYARAJ.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1936\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shsociety.org.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SAGAYARAJ.jpg 413w, https:\/\/www.shsociety.org.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SAGAYARAJ-245x300.jpg 245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><div class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">REV.

The Brothers started working in this part of the village, which was very remote and on the periphery of the city of Bangalore. We were the first religious community to come to this area. Brothers were involved in various services such as setting up a model farm, training village farmers in agriculture, visiting families, building cooperative housing, skill development of youth for employment, government scholarships for students, creating health awareness, providing high-yielding local vegetable seeds, teaching catechism, forming village roads, digging up open wells for farmers, supplying drinking water to the villagers, supplying sheep, goats, and milking cows, and setting up breeding farms and animal husbandry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1bad651 dsvy-col-stretched-none dsvy-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1bad651\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-888dc27 dsvy-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"888dc27\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5c3bc6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a5c3bc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Brother\u2019s Model Farm attracted many, including the government, for which Brothers were awarded credentials twice by the Chief Minister of Karnataka for producing high-yielding vegetables and supplying high-breed seeds. Since 1963, this place at Geddalahalli has been the Center for Agricultural Training and Social Work. In the year 1988, it became the House of Formation for the Brothers (Pre-Novitiate) and continued for several years. In 1998, we started Yuvamithra, an ITI on campus, to reach out to a larger population, the poor and vulnerable, especially youth. From 1997 to 2007, Brothers visited different villages, slums, and stone quarries, conducting studies and surveys. As a result, in 2004, we started Planet Hope for quarry children. This is an initiative of Rev. Br. A. Victordass, SHJ. In 2005, we started St. Mary\u2019s English School, primarily to educate the quarry children and the marginalized in this area. Rev. Br. A.
