It is an honour for all of us to be part of this great creation of Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara University in Sattur, Dharwad, the dream of our Chancellor and President of the SDM Educational Society.
Dharmasthala is known for Chatur Dhanas, one of which is Vidhyadhana. With the intention of bringing about change in society, the Chancellor founded the University to impart quality education. A great society can only be built through the right education. Nelson Mandela once said "Good education is a nation's most powerful weapon, so if one wants to bring a nation down, he or she brings down the standard of education". Education is something we all care about. It's crucial that education inspires and brings out the creativity of every child, because every child is born with an inherent intelligence.

The University campus has five constituent colleges, the largest and most distinguished college, SDM Medical College, has a fantastic setting that you should take use of. A university with incredible competence has been developed by a competent faculty and administration.

We are going to build one of the best universities together. We can observe a combination of scientific and religious spirit here, which makes this place unique. We have an edge over the others since we offer an environment of holistic development. We wish to create empathetic people who can contribute to society in addition to smart professionals. It is vital to teach pupils not solely to think but also the way to think. The complete growth of every student is extremely important to us. Education entails not solely learning and passing academic tests, but also learning and educating concerning oneself. When students graduate from college, they should be prepared to confront life. We are constructing this institution based on these fundamental concepts. I am delighted to extend to you an invitation to consider our institution as a potential study destination.
