CMR Group of Institutions is an educational conglomerate that comprises K-12 schools, a Pre-University College, institutes of higher education, various Centres of Excellence in Research and a newly established Private University. The CMR campuses are located in prominent areas across the city of Bangalore, India. CMR has also partnered with the National Education Trust to found the NPS International School on a lush 6 acre campus in Singapore. The CMR Institutions were established as a tribute to Sri Chikka Muniappa Reddy, a visionary who believed that education is a catalyst to the growth and development of any society; and that quality education ought to be an available to all. It is this vision that led to the birth of CMR Jnanadhara Trust and through it a number of educational institutions offering programmes ranging from Montessori / Kindergarten to post graduate courses in engineering, law and business management. Based on its rich 20+ year legacy in delivering academic excellence, the CMR Jnanadhara Trust supported the establishment of CMR University, a Private University and one of the first of its kind, in the state of Karnataka in 2013.
