Genesis In 1984, dedicated and like-minded visionaries headed by Shri.R.L.Jalappa, Champion of co-operative movement established Sri Devaraj Urs Educational Trust, for Backward Classes, to focus on Medical Education and Social Service. The trust started Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College, Tamaka, Kolar in the year 1986. Through this college the trust sought to make a significant contribution to Medical Education, Research and Health Care to Rural population. The College is situated at Tamaka (abutting National Highway No.4 – between Bangalore and Chennai), 5 K.M. from KOLAR, Karnataka. Kolar is well connected by road, rail and air due its proximity to Bangalore, which is 75 K.M. away. The nearest Railway Junction, Bangarpet is 15 K.M. away from Kolar. The trust in its stride for attainment of quality service to its stake holders has obtained Accreditation by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC, INDIA) and certification by ISO 9001-2000 in the year 2006 for its Medical College. Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College is one of the few Medical Colleges in India to have achieved this remarkable feat. This inspired the Trust to apply for Deemed University status for this college in the name and style as Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of Higher Education and Research, comprising Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College. Subsequently the name was changed to Sri Devaraj Urs University. The University Grants Commission of India conducted an inspection in April 2007 and after being satisfied about the infrastructure and teaching facilities recommended to the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India to confer Deemed to be University status to this Medical College. Accordingly, the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India conferred deemed to be university status to the Medical College in May 2007. |
