KLE University (formerly
known as KLE Academy of Higher Education & Research) in Belgaum
is synonymous with quality education and services in the field of medical science.
With a host of colleges dedicated to pharmacy, medicine, physiotherapy,
Ayurveda, nursing and dental sciences under its aegis, the university is one of
the best in the country.
The university grew from
the principles of a handful of teachers, fondly remembered today as the
“Rushis”. The severe lack ofmedical facilities in and around Belgaum
prompted the founding fathers to establish the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College
in 1963.
The founder and Dean of
the college, Dr. B.S. Jirge laid the foundation for the university. Under his
able guidance and forethought the university slowly took shape from one medicalcollege
to a host of nationally recognized colleges for all the branches of medical sciences.
The standards of
discipline and academic excellence that the university commands are part of the
reason why students clamor to be a part of it.

Lingayat Education Society

technology. The KLE University however, is their crown jewel. The college
stands proud amidst the worldmedical colleges as listed by the WHO.

misdemeanor. Language classes offered in the college allow students to learn
the basics of the language allowing them to better communicate with
the local patients.

incorporated classes on environmental education and the Indian constitution
into the undergraduate classes. In an effort to incorporate its ideals with the
ideals of the global village, the university has signed Memorandum of Understandings
or MoUs that include academic collaborations, with WHO, ICMR and several
reputed universities in SE Asia and United States of America.
