In this era of globalization, both formal and informal education play an increasingly vital role in promoting economic solidarity, social cohesion and individual growth, leading to a congenial and healthy environment. Even after six decades since independence, education is acknowledged as the main thrust area. Sri Manjunath Bhandary – a philanthropist, social worker and an Educationist decided to address this cause. He had the vision to establish educational institutions which will disperse the seeds of knowledge and build a more intelligent society. It was this noble zeal which led to the establishment of Bhandary Foundation in the year 2002.
