During the reign of His Highness Late Sri. Krishnarajendra Wadiyar Bahadur, a few ladies of Malleswaram felt a need for the social development of women. These ladies set up the Malleswaram Ladies Association on 8 August 1927, the day of the statewide Silver Jubilee celebration of the reign of His Highness Late Sri. Krishnarajendra Wadiyar Bahadur. Initially, the association was a forum for fellowship and a center for talents and arts. In 1930, it blossomed into an educational institution. In the 1934, Mahatma Gandhi visited the institution and praised the efforts made by the Association for the upliftment of women.
On 30 January 1956, the high school division was added to the institution. The first Head Mistress was the late Smt M.S. Jayamma. In 1959, the first batch of high school girls passed out of SSLC. The other notable teachers were Ramayya, Shamanna, Shantamma, Hemalatha, Sharadamma, Vinuthamma, Yamuna Bai, Seethamma, Alumelamma, Geethamani, Sundaramma, the Math teacher, Manjulamma the arts and crafts teacher & others.
