HISTORY OF KLE SOCIETY
The ‘Sacred Bull’ and the ‘Hexagon of Veerashaiva Dharma’
The ‘Sacred Bull’ is symbolic of Service. The ‘Hexagon of Veerashaiva Dharma’ signifies the secular outlook of KLE with emphasis on the ‘Service of the Masses’.
The ‘Ishtalinga’ and the ‘Halo’
The ‘Ishtalinga’ on the ‘Palm and the ‘Halo’ around it is suggestive of knowledge to remove ignorance of the masses all around the universe, in pursuance of the Veerashaiva Philosophy. The KLE Society is committed to providing excellent educational services, embodying the spirit of the ‘Union of Truth, Love, Service, and Sacrifice’.
Karnataka Lingayat Education (KLE) Society
Karnataka Lingayat Education (KLE) Society emphasizes a sound mind and a healthy body for attaining educational and spiritual enlightenment, along with the motivation needed for a participative role in social transformation.
The Vision of the ‘Saptarishis’
The planetary ‘Saptarishis’, aptly called the seven saints, having the benign presence of seven eminent personalities, namely, M.R.Sakhare, S.S.Basavanal, B.S.Hanchinal, H.F.Kattimani, B.B.Mamadapur, P.R.Chikodi, and V.V.Patil, were determined to serve humanity notwithstanding any personal sacrifice for the betterment of the community through education, the most essential requirement for a dignified human life.
Growth and Diversification
Their cumulative commitment manifested in the form of the seed sown on 13 November 1916 that gave rise to the first tree of the institution, in the form of an anglo-vernacular school. Thereafter, the Institution grew rapidly and unstoppably, gaining strength on the way and diversifying into various fields of education.

Our educational institutions stretch from the interiors of rural areas to mofussil towns and cities, providing ‘World Class Top-Notch’ infrastructural standards that are definitely State of the Art, dispensing High-Quality Education with ample emphasis on sound all-around character and personality development.
