DVG (D V Gundappa) is a famous Kannada poet and writer – famous for his work - “Manku Thimmana Kagga” ("Dull Thimma's Rigmarole"). Over the time, the school was extended with multiple buildings next to the old house. Also, Government DVG Girls School was set up in the next site around 30 year ago. At present, the ancestral house, other buildings in the Boys' school as well as the Girls' school are in poor condition. Government is ready to demolish all structures and combine both schools, so that a new school building can be constructed at the same location. |
