Welcome to Our College

 

         Vidyodaya Arts & Commerce First Grade College, T.Narasipura, run by Grama Vidyodaya Sangha(R), founded by great visionary Late Sri Shivananda Sharma, is a pioneer Institution in higher education in Mysore district. It has been imparting quality education in Humanities and Commerce for the last 39 years to the aspiring rural youths, mainly economically backward and marginalized sections of the society. Ours is one of the best among the rural Undergraduate colleges in the jurisdiction of Mysore University  with qualified and competent teaching faculty, adequate class rooms, well equipped library, computer and language laboratories, big auditorium and playground. Much importance is given for overall personality development through co-curricular and extra-curricular activities by various clubs in the College. One noteworthy point is that women students form majority of the strength in our College which has facilitated to contribute our mite for the cause of women education and empowerment, which is given much importance now–a-days. I would certainly say that our College provides conducive atmosphere for formative learning and development.

        I warmly welcome all aspiring students to our College and  extend my best wishes.
