The college administration has been decentralized. In order to smooth the functioning of the college administration responsibilities are entrusted on the basis of their respective fields based upon their experience. This paves the way for the sharing of duties and responsibilities and a sense of unity in bringing about expected results.

RE-ACCREDITATION REPORT inclusive concerns and urgent economic needs. The institution is gearing up to involve the faculty members in preparation of project works.
On the basis of their performances, students are identified as slow and advanced learners. The technique of teaching has been tuned up to put the slow learners on par with the advanced learners with their level best.
The institution is not just producing number of graduates. It has exceptional abilities in furthering their individuality and to explore newer selves within them. But the institution is yet to have its own research center and some registered guides. We hope that we will have to work in that direction as soon as possible at our level best.
As we have already set our plans, programs, projects procedures norms and operations to ensure the bright future of the institution and aims to make it student oriented, result oriented, and total quality oriented giving huge opportunity of learning for the students of rural and remote area of Hunsur and nearest places.
Finally the institution is very much proud to say that the efforts, initiatives and objectives set out in its action plan have been achieved to the maximum extent of the stake holders and the greatest satisfaction of the institution itself.
