The Sharanabasaveshwara Vidya Vardhak Sangha, which runs more than seventy institutions, founded in 1903, works on the education philosophy propounded by the President of our Sangha, Poojya Dr.Sharnbaswappa Appa. The philosophy goes thus, " No religion is greater than service. Teaching and learning not only for the sake of livelihood, but also for the welfare of others, thinking that serving humanity is serving God, is Kayaka Dasoha philosophy of education". As the famous poet Robert Frost says, we indeed have "Many miles to go and many promises to keep" to a great extent our management has been treading this path relentlessly. That is why our president Poojya Dr.Appaji has given us the essence of educational philosophy in the following pithy statement. "Service to Humanity is Service to God"

Poojya Dr.Sharnbaswappa Appa, the modern savant, erudite scholar, a finest exponent of Dasoha philosophy, himself being a techno-savvy as the modern days expect an educationist to be, is extolled by everyone. This princely personality has been the cause of installing the equestrian statue of Mahatma Basaveshwara, the 12th century Veerasaiva saint, at Parliament premises in New-Delhi. He is pioneer in opening Gulbarga University, and bringing Gulbarga on the educational map of India. He is fostering and nurturing the entire region of Gulbarga in all its spheres.

The Sharanabasaveshwara Vidya Vardhak Sangha was founded by the 6th Peethadhi pati, and it made a humble, yet a noble beginning with its first school housed in Mahadasoha Mahamane - the spiritual abode. Then onwards it has never looked back and has grown into leaps and bounds. Dedicating itself to the pursuit of service and excellence, it has grown into a mammoth educational center imparting science, commerce, management, arts, engineering and technical education to nearly twenty five thousand students from KG to PG studying in seventy plus institutions, in hundred years of its meaningful and eventful existence it has spent more than hundred crores. "Very rarely an institution starts with a library. So I was taken by surprise and veneration for this institution, because the institution started with a library". This is how Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam, the Ex-President of our country pays tribute to our Sangha. Illustrious Sons of India and dignitaries including the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi, down to Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam, the Ex-President of India have visited to our Institution.
