Sri.D.V.Kulkarni: One of the pioneer founders to whom VVS will ever be indebted to is Sri.D.V.Kulkarni. Unmindful of being the Founder Member and Joint Secretary of VVS, he personally went and collected money as handloan from the residents of Rajajinagar, to pay salary to teachers. As finances stabilized, he focused his efforts in mobilising a team of dedicated and selfless people to whom he could pass on the baton. Much to his awe, he met the duo in the form of Sri.K.N.Srihari and Sri.P.R.Mundewadi very soon and rest is history.
Sri.Kinhal Srinivasacharya: Belonging to the first line of founders, Sri.K.Srinivasacharya, had the singular distinction of being in the Executive Committee of VVS from the day the Sangha became functional. He is renowned to be the founder treasurer for 27 long years providing complete stability to the finances of VVS.

Sri.K.N.Srihari: Born into the family of Village Shanbhogs, Sri.K.N.Srihari embraced Gandhian Ideals. His entry into VVS and officiating as Honorary Secretary and later Vice Chairman revealed his manifested idealism, knowledge and concentrated thoughts. VVS gained a varied cultural and literary identity as connoisseur of the native art, literature and dramatics due to his efforts. Under the banner of “Kavi-Kruthi Darshana”, he invited great doyens of Kannada literature to deliver lectures which was a literary feast to the listeners. His selfless and untiring dedicated effort has provided VVS its present glory.
