History
Many Labourers from different parts of the state migrated to Mysore in search of Job, following severe drought in 1980s. They settled at Kanteerava Narasimharajapura (located East of Kyathamaranahalli) since many houses were available at afforded rate. A few of them even built houses on revenue land without bothering about basic amenities like connectivity, Sewerage, education, etc.{{Cite web|date=2010-08-07|title=Development is a challenge in this 'sensitive' ward|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/86893/development-challenge-sensitive-ward.html|access-date=2021-12-15|website=Deccan Herald|language=en}}
