About LEMS

 The members of the Lions Club of Nargund came forward to start a school to impart quality education to the students of rural area. At first the Kindergarten School was started in the premises of Shri Nagareshwar Temple, Nargund. Under

the Chairmanship of Lion. N. B. Gudisagar and the Secretaryship of Lion V. R. Gadad “ Lions Kindergarten School” was established in the year 1978. The School enrolled only 38 students and appointed only three teachers.

             18th April 1981 is regarded as the red letter day in the history of Lions Club of Nargund. It was on this day that the members took the decision to form a society and thereby to start a School. The establishment of an English Medium School at Nargund took place in the year 1980-81.

             The foundation for the school was laid by the former Chief Minister of Karnataka Shri R. GunduRao. The school building was inaugurated by Lion Jawali, Past Dist. Governor, Dist. 324 D2. The Government of Karnataka was kind enough to recognize our School under its Order No. 82/ 22/ opn/ Pry School/ 81-82 dated 27- 07-1981.

            The first floor of the school in the name of Late Shri Basappa Muddappa Hasbi hall was constructed with the generous donation received from Hasbi brothers.

           With the constant efforts of the Lions Education Society the School blossomed into a High School. Under the Chairmanship of Lion C. H. Kori and the Secretaryship of Lion S. S. Patil, many more Class-rooms were constructed with the generous donations received from Shri B.K. Gudisagar & Sons, Shri C L Patil & Sons, Shri H G Kori & Sons, Shri B P Chikkamath & Shri A R Jinaga, Shri B T Kulkarni & Sons, Smt Indrabai Handral, Shri J V Ingalalli & Sons, Shri V B Bonageri & Sons, Shri T R Gudisagar & Sons, Shri B T Wagati & Shri L B Malali & Sons and Shri Nada Brahmmanand Swamiji (Hrishikesh).

                Under the Chairmanship of Lion S S Patil and the Secretaryship of Lion C.C. Patil and Joint Secretaryship of Late Lion G N Sali, the School was able to make its own progress.

              Under the Chairmanship of Lion C C Patil and the Secretaryship of Late Lion G N Sali, the School was able to reach some new heights. It was with the efforts of Lion C C Patil, the then Chairman, the society could get Rs 5 lakhs to construct new School and College building from Late Shri S R Bommai, Ex Union Minister and Rajya Sabha Member.
              It was during the period from 2000 to2003, under the Chairmanship of Lion S V Bonageri and the Secretaryship of Lion Dr. B M Jabannavar two more institutions were established in the year 2001 viz. Lions Kannada Medium High School and Lions Independent P.U. College, Nargund. The Lions Education Society is grateful to the help extended by Shri Basavaraj Bommai,Chief Minister, Govt. of Karnataka.

             Taking this into account, under the Chairmanship of Lion G B Kulkarni and the Secretaryship of Lion Dr. B. M. Jabannavar, the right wing of the School came into existence. It was during this period the three acres of land on Hubli - Solapur road was purchased and the new blue print was prepared. As it is rightly said, “We need to embrace technology to make learning more engaging.” The Smart Classes by TATA Class Edge were introduced during this period.
            Under the Chairmanship of Lion B K Gujamagadi and the Secretaryship of Lion S S Patil (Basavaraj) and the joint Secretaryship of Lion C. S. Salutagimath the school saw some new changes.
