We enjoy incredible presenting the MPE Society's Shri Dharmastala Manjunatheshwara College of Arts, Science, Commerce and Business Administration, Honnavar (SDM Degree College, Honnavar).

The Government of Karnataka endorsed 50 sections of land of land. A Building was built there and the College was moved to the new structure in the year 1968. From that point forward the understudy quality went up significantly. Bit by bit a couple of more structures were developed and that turned into the College grounds.
Notwithstanding increment in the understudy quality, the money related position began diminishing. The neighborhood assets were not adequate to deal with the costs. Just two alternatives were left with the administration either to close the College, or to hand over it to other people. At the point when the administration was in such a predicament, as though as a valuation for the earnest endeavors of the administration, help came as Dharmadhikari of Shree Kshetra Dharmasthala Dr. Virendra Heggade.
He not just cleared the extraordinary compensations of the representatives, yet in addition loaned his assistance in structure the whole science hinder in the College. With his liberal help the College effectively conquered the monetary emergency and as a token of appreciation the name of the College was changed to Shree Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College.
