Shri Jagadguru Murugharajendra Math is located in the vicinity of Chitradurga city, Karnataka state, India.

It was the symbolic throne of the spiritual headship of Anubhava Mantapa (it may be compared with present Parliament), a forum for sharing spiritual experiences of Sharanas. The Chitradurga Murugharajendra Math continues this tradition even today. The present pontiff of the math is His Holiness Dr.Shri Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru. The Mahantha First Grade College feels proud to be the twig of this esteemed Vidyapeetha.

OUR COLLEGE
SJMV Mahanta First Grade Arts and Commerce College was started in 1986 by the renowned Karnataka Progressive Education Society (KPES), Dharwad. The KPES was founded by the noted legal and literary luminary late Dr.G.M.Patil, who was renowned leading practitioner of law in Dharwad.
In 1992 for better and fair administration, the College was handed over to Shri. Jagadguru Murugharajendra Vidyapeetha Brihanmath, Chitradurga on the auspicious occasion of His Holiness Shri. Mahanth Swamiji’s 80th birth day celebration. Earlier the college was named as SJMV’s Mahalaxmi First Grade College of Arts & Commerce. Later, during 2006 it has been renamed as SJMV’s Mahantha First Grade College of Arts & Commerce.
In the year 2002, the college was shifted to more spacious Adarsha Girls High School Campus in Ramnagar, Dharwad. The students’ strength considerably increased every year. It is a matter of pride and prestige to record here that the college is shifted to our newly constructed own building at Rayapur, Dharwad in the year 2010. Due to multi range of choice of subject combinations there is a lot of attraction and wide scope for students and this has helped very much in the increase of admission year by year and also enabled the students to make choice of their interest among various combinational subjects.
Under the able and proper guidance and stewardship of the dynamic Principal, Prof. N.R. Balikai, our teachers have been making good attempts in the realms of teaching and research. The most dedicated, devoted, experienced, well read and enthusiastic members of teaching staff are striving hard to bring about all-around development in students and try their best to instill confidence and competency in them to face open competitions and level playing which are the two prominent

With an intention to impart value education to the present youth, the college conducts Vachana Kammata Examination every year. Vachana is a short sacred poem. Crores of vachanas were written by poet-saints of 12th century. Vachanas emit spiritual values and morality in the lives of people. To enable the students to study and inculcate those values, the President of our Vidyapeetha Dr.Shri.Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru is conducting Vachana Kammata Exams in all degree colleges of Karnataka. Several students of our college have become successful every year and bagged State level ranks.
To develop academic, social and spiritual standards among students, ample care and attention are taken in the institution. Curricular, extra-curricular and cocurricular activities are undertaken from time to time in our institution, and self financed certificate courses are introduced from 2004-05 and they are continued till date.

Formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of the same into the institutional strategic plan:
The Principal in consultation with the staff and students formulates the action plan at all levels well in advance and the academic calendar is prepared only after that.
Interaction with stakeholders: The personal interaction with the Principal with the various stakeholders, faculty members, non-teaching staff, students, parents, industry, play an important role in the functioning of the college. Annual Parent-Teacher meet strengthens the bond of the parents with the institution.

Each committee chairperson analyses researches and consults before undertaking any activity. For financial aid and infrastructural support the Principal provides assistance. Sometimes even the management provides financial aid. The Principal also resolves the problems.

BEST PRACTICES-02
Title of the Practice: INTRODUCTION OF DRESS CODE
Goal:
Introduction of “Dress Code” is helpful in bringing uniformity, socio-economic equality and indiscrimination among the students. As our institution is co-education, the authorities realised the necessity of introducing dress code and it has become one of the best practices in the campus.
The Context:
In the beginning, institution faced certain difficulties in introducing uniform. Due to economical burden, some students were not in favour of accepting this idea of discipline. Some percentage of students were keenly interested to come in colour dress so that they can enjoy their student life. But the institution successfully convinced the students. Every week (i.e., Wednesday) colour dress is permitted. Colour dress is permitted on birthdays.
The Practice:
The introduction of dress code is future oriented. As the students are studying in UG courses, after completion of their course, most of them would go for PG courses and join different professional courses. So dress code is considered very important in any of the professional courses. A fine formal attire is must so their wearing formals as uniform here would make it easy for them to continue the practice in future in their profession. In higher education and professional courses, it is already made
RAR-20 | SJMV Mahantha First Grade College of Arts & Commerce, Dharwad 158 mandatory for the students. Hence, students wearing uniform at graduate level is going to be a preparation for their tomorrow.
Evidence of success:
Introduction of dress code, the institution has seen drastic change. Now students come to college in uniform without fail. It is undoubtedly a benchmark comparing with the past or the time before the introduction of dress code. It indicates the discipline in the campus. No discrimination of any sort has been encountered in the campus ever since it has been introduced in the campus. It has put an end to many of ill activities. It is also used as an anti provoking tool among the students. If outsiders enter the campus, they are easily caught and immediate action can be taken. In this way, this practice has become a institutional benchmark.
Problems encountered and resources required:
The students coming from rural and poor background, economic was the big problem. To help all the students, institution invited wholesale cloth merchant and asked to provide good quality cloth at a nominal price.
