Greetings from OUR SCHOOLS (R)

It is with immense pride and honour that we invite nominations for the Karnataka State Level Women Educational Leadership Awards — 2026. This is a prestigious recognition instituted to celebrate the extraordinary women whose vision, leadership, perseverance, and unwavering commitment have transformed educational institutions and positively impacted society.

Across Karnataka, thousands of women have dedicated their lives to building schools, nurturing young minds, empowering teachers, and creating institutions that inspire generations. Their leadership extends far beyond administration—it influences families, strengthens communities, and contributes significantly to the future of our State.

Despite their invaluable contribution, many of these inspiring women remain unsung. The Karnataka State Level Women Educational Leadership Awards has therefore been instituted to acknowledge their achievements, celebrate their inspiring journeys, and honour the real power behind successful schools.

"Every successful school has a story behind it... and at the heart of that story is the unwavering resolve of a woman."

Why This Award is Important?

  • Recognize women who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in education.
  • Celebrate excellence in institution building, innovation, and community service.
  • Inspire the next generation of women educational leaders.
