“Our vision is to be in the forefront of Business Education, Consultancy and Research”
History of any Institution is nothing but the history of individuals who sacrifice all their time, money and energy for building it over the decades. During the pre-independence time, when legal education was very expensive and not within the reach of a common man, Karnatak Law Society was established with an intention to make education, particularly legal education easier for the common man by starting a Law college at Belgaum. A group of freedom fighters and eminent lawyers, with a distinguished vision and totally selfless service attitude, dedication, a crystal clear mission of imparting value based education of high standards, established the Karnatak Law Society in the year 1939 and later extended their educational activities by establishing science, commerce, engineering and management institutions, etc. A recent addition to this list is a primary school to bridge the gap between elementary education and college education.
It is difficult to establish an institution, but it is all the more difficult to run it successfully as, it needs efficiency, sincerity and honesty of purpose. Sacrifice is a proper compendium for all these virtues. It is due to the selfless services rendered by the founder members as well as the tireless and sincere work devotedly done by the younger generation who have shouldered the responsibility of successfully running the educational institutions established by the society, due to the efforts of whom, is where the Karnatak Law Society stands today. The Karnatak Law Society has been excellently managing a number of Educational Institutions including the first Law College in North Karnataka, Raja Lakhamgouda Law College, and other colleges like Gogte College of Commerce, a Science College, a Polytechnic Institute, a top notch Business School, Institution of Management Education & Research (IMER), a reputed Engineering college Gogte Institute of Technology (GIT), and a Primary School. Today, in addition to leading Lawyers, the Society has a pool of dedicated Professionals like Engineers, Doctors, Industrialists and Chartered Accountants as it’s members.
