The birth of an educational institution demands the selfless dedication of philanthropic people. It was in 1965 with the inspiration from Wrangler D.C. Pawate, the then Vice- chancellor of Karnataka University, Dharwad, three Swamijis, three medical practicenors, two businessmen and an advocate laid the foundation of the Gokak Education Society. We all salute them. All those “Navarathans” are no more with us, but they must be feeling satisfied, watching from heaven the exponential growth of the society they founded.
Real education is that which enables one to stand on his own legs. With this mantra the Gokak Education Society established its pioneer institution J.S.S. Arts & Science College, in June 1965 with six faculty members and sixty six students. The society now runs eight prestigious institutions with more than three hundred committed employees and over six thousand students quenching their thrust for knowledge.It has completed 50 years in the fulfilment of the vision of providing education to the rural youth and downtrodden people of Gokak Taluka and its surrounding area.
The administrative management of the society is effectively carried out by the Chairman of the Board of Management consisting of nine dedicated directors and a secretary. The functioning of the society is transparent and every aspect is attended with care and love. We will put our sincere efforts to the the society to greater heights so that the vision of high quality higher education to rural youths and downtrodden will be sustained.
