Towards Educational, Social & Environmental Reconstruction for a Quality Life
Year of Establishment: 2010
St. Mira’s Inclusive Convent is a social inclusion initiative founded as part of a non-profit educational foundation established in the year 2004 under the aegis of Mr. S. Chandrashekar and Dr. B. K. Kalavathi. The school was started in 2010 in the remote village of Sujjlur, Malavalli Taluq, Mandya District, Karnataka, to cater to the educational needs of rural children.
The institution is deeply rooted in the belief that education is a powerful tool for social transformation. It strives to provide quality education that is inclusive, accessible, and sensitive to the diverse learning needs of children.
St. Mira’s Inclusive Convent nurtures students in a caring and supportive environment where academic learning is balanced with emotional, social, and moral development. Equal importance is given to discipline, values, confidence-building, and life skills.
The school promotes inclusive education by encouraging mutual respect, cooperation, and understanding among students from varied backgrounds, ensuring that every child feels valued and empowered.
The institution actively collaborates with parents and the local community, recognizing that education is most effective when families and educators work together. Regular interactions, counselling support, and awareness programs help create a strong support system for the overall well-being of students.
With committed educators and child-centric teaching practices, the school aims to prepare students to become responsible, confident, and socially aware individuals capable of contributing positively to society.
By integrating modern teaching methodologies with strong foundational values, St. Mira’s Inclusive Convent continues to evolve as a nurturing space where education goes beyond academics—shaping resilient, compassionate, and future-ready individuals prepared to face life with confidence and purpose.

St. Mira’s Inclusive Convent was born from the vision to serve the rural heart of Karnataka. Our students are predominantly children of farmers and first‑generation learners — the first in their families to step into a classroom.
We understand the unique challenges faced by agrarian families: seasonal income, migration, and limited access to resources. Our entire academic calendar, support systems, and teaching methods are designed to be flexible and empathetic to these realities. We don’t just teach; we build bridges between traditional livelihoods and modern education.
