In 1916, a dedicated group of individuals belonging to the Veerashaiva community, popularly known as Lingayats embarked upon a dream vision- to create a strong education base in the neglected areas of Karnataka and Maharashtra. Over the past 90 years, the KLE Society has blazed a trail and set an unparalleled example in education and service health. Today the KLE society runs over 160 institutions in the areas of Healthcare delivery and education, with an asset base of over Rs. 5 billion and manpower in excess of 6000 employees. More than 60,000 students undergoing every possible course- from kindergarten to post- doctoral programmes in the faculties of Arts, Commerce, Sciences, and professional courses such as Medicine, Engineering, Law, and Management, are all a part of this gigantic social phenomenon.
Inspired by democratic values, the Society is ably managed by a board constituting the president, Chairman and 15 other elected members. Each a knowledgeable persona with an immaculate track record. The success of the Society can be attributed to their contribution over the years. The College of Business Administration, Hubli, stands testimony to the high professional standards aimed for and achieved by the KLE Society.
