DESCRIPTION :

We take great pleasure in introducing the MPE Society?s Shri Dharmastala Manjunatheshwara College of Arts¸ Science¸ Commerce and Business Administration¸ Honnavar (SDM Degree College¸ Honnavar). The college was founded by MPE Society in 1964¸ to impart much needed higher education in this part of Uttara Kannada district.
An advocate turned social worker and Ex-MLA Late Shri R.S. Hegde took the initiative and formed the ?Malnad Progressive Education Society? in association with a team of dedicated visionaries.
The college came into existence under the leadership of the founder Principal Dr. V. Seetharamaiah¸ popularly known asVeeSee in the literary circles. VeeSee was a renowned Kannada poet and critic¸ an educationist and effective administrator. Hence the college was known as VeeSee?s College all over the state.
The dual leadership of Dr. VeeSee and the founder president Shri R.S. Hegde could attract support from many quarters. 
The Government of Karnataka sanctioned 50 acres of land. A Building was constructed there and the college was shifted to the new building in the year 1968. Since then the student strength went up by leaps and bounds. Gradually a few more buildings were constructed and that became the college campus.
