The RBANM’s Trust is a 148-year-old Institution founded in 1873, focused on serving low income, first generation learners and marginalized communities in urban Bangalore. It is located in the Ulsoor area of Bangalore.

The founder of RBANM's Educational Charities, Dharmarathnakara Rai Bahadur Arcot Narrainsawmy Mudaliar (1827-1910) believed that the propagation of knowledge was philanthropy at its best.

It is remarkable that then a century ago without the guidance or example of parallel institutions, he could plan and setup centres of education and training so modern in conception and in purposes they subserve and that he could forestall such present day courses and movements as basic education

In recognition of his eminent services in the cause of the poor Sri A Narrainsawmy Mudaliar was honoured by the imperial Assemblage at Delhi with the title of “Rai Bahadur” in 1875 and with “Dharmaratnakara” (Ocean of Charity) by his Highness the Maharaja Chamarajendra Wodeyar in 1894.
