MESSAGE FROM THE VICE CHANCELLOR

Dr. Niranjan Kumar

Vice - Chancellor

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.

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.
