Padmabhushana Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade

President, RUDSET Institute

Meeting of Board Governors & Governing Council

"Instead of writing some one else’s

account through wage employment,

after three to five years of collegiate

education, it is more meaningful to

write one’s own account by embarking

upon some self-employment".

A unique initiative in mitigating the problem of

unemployment was taken way back in 1982 jointly

by Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara

Educational Trust, SyndicateBank and Canara Bank

Dharmasthala. The collective thinking gave

concrete shape in providing an institutional

framework in the form of Rural Development & Self

Employment Training Institute.
