EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kamalnagar, formerly known as “Murag” and renamed after its administrator called
Kamal-Pasha, is the native place of His Holiness late Shri. Ma.Gha.Cha Dr.Channabasava
Pattaddevaru of Hiremath Samsthan Bhalki, which has got a branch at Kamalnagar also.
Poojya Pattaddevaru was the follower of Lord Basaveshwar who gave the call of “Work
is Worship”. Poojya Pattaddevaru, locally popular as “Appaji” is remembered by the
people of Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh for his contribution to religious,
social and educational reformations.
Poojya Appaji was determined to root out the sufferings of the people of this area
caused by their poverty and lack of education. In order to materialize his ideology,
the Swamiji started a Kannada Primary School at Moragi Village in 1936. Due to administrative
difficulties, the School was shifted to different places like Khed Sangam, Sholapur,
etc. Those were the days of the regime of the Nizam of Hyderabad in which Kannada
was marginalized. To safeguard the interest of the Kannadigas, Poojya Pattaddevaru
was running his Kannada medium School with a Urdu Name-Plate Outside.
After the liberation of Hyderabad Karnataka and reorganization of states on linguistic
basis, Poojya Pattaddevaru established Shanti Vardhak High-School at Kamalnagar.
It was an unaided School and the salary of the staff was paid out of “Fist-Fund”
of the Swamiji. Poojya Appaji was supported by Shri.R.V.Bidap, Shri Bheemanna Khandre
and the then prominent leaders.
S.V.E.Society
Shanti Vardhak Education Society was officially registered in 1963 under the Presidentship
of Lokanayak Shri. Bheemanna Khandre. On the request of shri. Bheemanna Khandre
and the other Members of the Management, His Holiness Shri. Channabasava Pattaddevaru
consented to become the “Sanchalaka” of the Society. The Society started Channabasaveshwar
College of Arts, Science and Commerce at Bhalki in 1968, and Akkamahadevi College
for Women at Bidar in 1971. Shri Siddarameshwar Degree College of Arts was started
in 1984-85 to provide higher education to the rural, backward and border area people
of Kamalnagar, Shree .Siddrameshwar Degree College, Kamalnagar is at a distance
of just 1 Km from Maharashtra border and about 30 Km from that of Andhra Pradesh.
Kamalnagar is surrounded by a number of small villages and is accessible by road
and rail. A vast majority of the population of the region is below poverty line.
They have neither irrigational nor industrial amenities. As a result, the youth
coming from economically backward families could not pursue their higher studies.
Therefore Poojya Pattaddevaru and the Management opened Shree Siddrameshwar Degree
College at Kamalnagar to impart higher education particularly to weaker sections
of the society.
OUR COLLEGE
In the beginning, Shri Siddrameshwar Degree College was housed in Shanti Vardhak
Composite Junior College which is a sister institute. By the efforts of the youth-leader
and the present president Shri Ishwar Khandre, the college was shifted to its own
independent new building in 1995, on a campus area of 4 acres. The Management has
provided all necessary infrastructures such as class-rooms, library, ladies room,
staff-room, toilet, play-ground etc.
The student-welfare-wing of the college looks into the problems of the students.
The N.S.S unit introduces the students to extra-curricular activities. The S.W.O
and N.S.S unit are looked after by their officers. Because of the small size of
the students and the staff, it has been possible to establish a proper interaction
between them. The teachers are involved in intensive teaching and are asked to devise
remedial measures to solve the problems of the students.
Vision :
To train the youth to be disciplined, responsible, Self-reliant and enlightened
citizens of the nation by providing quality formal and non-formal higher Education.
Mission :
- To provide quality education to youth at their door step.
- To train youth through quality higher education to join the main stream
- To impart knowledge to face the globalization.
- To educate youth in respect of linguistic, historical, political and cultural Heritage
of the area.
