With the procurement of real estate remaining inaccessible to this venture, it was up to the eminent Andhra presence in the city to rally and secure better land and accommodation for the Society’s endeavours. Through the good offices of Shri S.M.Y Sastry, the school managed to get 4 rooms in the ex- military hutments at Sion. Subsequently, the school expanded to include a secondary school in 1952 and then a Junior College in 1975, to cater more effectively to the growing needs of the community.
