About Society


Seven visionary teachers and three benevolent patrons established the KLE Society in 1916 with a single minded and resolute commitment to facilitating “Empowerment through education”. The first 100 years of the organization have been a transformational journey that has seen the organization evolve from a single school into a mammoth commitment comprising over 310 + institutions engaged in providing services in “Education, Healthcare, Research and Agriculture”. Living up to the expectations of over 138000 students and the Healthcare requirements of people across India, especially the rural poor, the committed team of over 18000 members of the KLE family is all set to scale new heights of domain excellence in the new century.

Setting benchmarks, embracing the evolving needs of society, incorporating technological tools in an attempt to keep pace with global scientific advancements, the organization today has garnered global status and acceptance. The unique feature of the success story has been the ability of the organization to sustain a philosophy that is deep rooted in the welfare of the rural poor.

The evolution of KLE Society itself is a saga of synergistic effort, management and visionary leadership of stalwarts across the ages; especially the current Chairman Dr Prabhakar Kore Ex-MP who has played a pivotal role in the exponential growth and global acclaim of the organization.
