The school is located in Tuni in Andhra Pradesh, India.

Background

Missionaries of the Canadian Baptist Mission were involved in spreading awareness about the Bible in northern circars of Andhra PradeshMartin Senftleben, "Influences of Hinduism on Christianity in Andhra Pradesh". Unpublished Ph.D. thesis, Sri Venkateshwara University, Tirupati, 1992. "p. 61" [http://www.drmartinus.de/bio/de/thesis1.pdf] ] . The missionaries began arriving in India as early as 1868.

Early missionaries also believed that women can be used as potential instruments for spreading awareness about the Bible [M. L. Orchard & Katherine S. McLaurin, "The Enterprise: The Jubilee Story of the Canadian Baptist Mission in India, 1874-1924", Toronto, The Canadian Baptist Foreign Mission Board, 1925. See especially Mattie Currie, "Among the Telugus: The Canadian Baptist Foreign Mission Board", a report published by CBFMB, Toronto, 1936. 93-94. Cited by James Elisha in "Empowering Mission or Enslaving Enterprise? Women Missionaries’ attitudes to Telugu Women in Bangalore Theological Forum", Volume XXXIX, 1 June 2007.] .

Winfred Eaton, a missionary of the Canadian Baptist Mission began classes in Palakonda in 1922 with a few girlsLalitha Krupa Rao, "Eva Rose York Bible Training and Technical School for Women", Tuni, Consultation 17-22 April 2007.] . Later in 1925, the school was relocated in Tuni.

It was Eva Rose YorkElaine Keillor, Encyclopedia of Music in Canada. [http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=U1ARTU0003752] ] "(22.12.1858-1938)", an early Canadian composer and teacher who lent support [Annie Innis Dagg, "op. cit."] for the buildings in the campus in Tuni. Eva Rose Fitch was born in Norwich, Ontario where she attended college and married Doctor Winford York in 1879. York studied music and after her husband died in 1880 she took up both the study of the organ and became a born-again Christian. She founded choirs in Belleville and Toronto before she decided in 1899 to devote her time to looking after girls who had become prostitutes. York founded a home for the women which she ran until 1914 before she left to spend fifteen years as an itinerant preacher.

[ [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=1aftqjdzCOIC&pg=PA162&lpg=PA162&dq=%22Eva+Rose+York%22&source=web&ots=oTFm_LUyIc&sig=ng8Er8q6cgFgPyiUrEC24MRvljU&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result#PPA162,M1 101 Famous Poems] , Roy Jay Cook, accessed 1 October 2008]

The school is still partly supported by funds raised in Canada by Bapist women. [ [http://www.baptistwomen.com/greatcanadian.html Baptist Womem] , accessed 1 October 2008]
