The year 1963 is another land mark in the history of K.L.E. Society since the College at Haven, Bangalore and the J. N. Medical College at Belgaum were started. The Society feels proud of that year as an epoch, as a phenomenal development took place subsequently. The J. N. Medical College occupies a unique position among the Society's institutions. It is the crowning glory of the
Society's educational ventures and achievements, in fact, the J. N. Medical College stands out as a symbol of secular image of the Society as its students and staff come from all over India and abroad.

With higher aims and a broader vision, the K.L.E. Society kept on broadening its scope by extending its institutions to the various branches of knowledge. Therefore, the institutions from Kindergarten to Post Graduate Education found their place in the educational map of the K.L.E. Society. The map was further enlarged with the additions of Pharmacy, Law, Teacher Training Institutions and a few more Professional Colleges.

The year 1984 is a turning point in the history of K.L.E. Society. Shri. Prabhakar Kore took over the captaincy of the administration of the Society. With his dynamism, he gave a new vision and multiple dimension to the out look of the K.L.E. Society. Our Chairman, young and energetic as he is, broadened the base of the K.L.E. Society by adopting the institutions of the other managements into the fold of our management. Besides, starting the Dental, Education, Nursing, Information Technology, Computer Applications, Hotel Management, Business Management, Tourism, Fashion Designing, Agriculture Colleges and Polytechnics, the Society pursued the policy of "take over and merge". Therefore, the Society spreads its base from neighbouring Maharashtra to the far-off Malur, at the border of Tamilnadu. With Ankola, Gangavati and many more places in between.

The K.L.E. Society's Hospital and Medical Research Centre is Shri. Prabhakar Kore's brain-child. The monumental 1000 bed K.L.E. Society's Hospital and Medical Research Centre built at a cost of more than 100 Crores is the true embodiment of the K.L.E. Society's glorious achievement. This has taken health care to the door-steps of the poor and needy people. Many agree that our hospital with its ultra modern infrastructure has an edge over other modern hospitals in India. Of Late, the Society has planned to reach new heights and see new horizons as it has entered into collaboration with the Illinois University, Chicago and the Sunderland University, U.K., as part of exchange programme in the field of Medical and Pharmaceutical Education.

The K.L.E. Society has, all along, received the co-operation and support from the people, cutting across all barriers of caste, creed and religion. The Society's leadership has ensured, its democratic functioning effectively by conducting the election of the President, Vice-Presidents and the Members of the Board of Management regularly. Thus, the true spirit of democracy is working here. The financial transactions are maintained scientifically and are audited scrupulously by the panel of experts.

The total assets of the Society as on today may cross over Five billions with an annual turn over of over one billion. It has employed 6,000 personnel, benefiting more than 60,000 students on its roll studying various courses. A span of 86 years, since the inception of the K. L. E. Society, looks fairly a long period of time, but to establish and run 114 institutions which the Society has done, it is a short time indeed. It is more so when one knows that the K. L. E. Society rests solidly on the four-fold ideals of "Truth, Love, Service and Sacrifice ".

Nevertheless, we are not complacent, and we shall never be, for we always desire to reach higher goals and make newer achievements. We have thus, planned for the Deemed University status to the K. L. E. Society. A School will be opened in New Delhi, God willing, and we hope to fare even better than what we have. Our vision is for a glorious future, for an all-round development of the people blessed with knowledge, health and happiness.
