The town is familiar with its well-known Battle of Talikoti -1565 which was “A La Waterloo for the magnificent Vijayanagar Empire. This town is again in its toes for an addition of a new leaf in the annals of its history, by standing as a torchbearer in the sphere of education. This town is located below the belt of Deccan Plateau situated on the left bank of river Drona, commonly known as Doni. It is 29 kms from taluka head quarter Muddebihal and 85 kms from district head quarter Vijayapur, a backward and draught prone district. So this place is economically very poor and socially and educationally very backward. Black alluvial soil is fertile soil fit to grow special food grains like Jawar and Wheat and cash crops like Sunflower, toor etc., but due to frequent rain failures the area has continued to be drought prone one. In such an area, our Educational Institution V.V.Sangha is a pioneer in the sphere of education which was established in 1939 with the blessings of His Holiness Shree Khasgat Shivayogi a great seer of this area. A great many immortal souls have been working in different capacities towards solid foundation and sustained development of the Sangha for the past seven decades.
