About the College

In 1982, BLDEA established Basaveshwar Arts & Commerce College in Basavana Bagewadi, the birthplace of His Holiness Jagadguru Shri Basaveshwara, a great social reformer and a revolutionary saint of the 12th Century. It is 42 km away from Vjayapura, a district known for the world-famous historical monument Gol Gumbaz. The aim of starting the institution was to offer education to the oppressed, disadvantaged and rural community of Basavana Bagewadi. Most of the students studying in this college hail from a poor background and mainly depend on agriculture.

BLDEA (Bijapur Lingayat Education Association) is a leading education organization in the North Karnataka region. It has a legacy of more than 100 years and 75 education institutions under its banner, which comprise professional institutes, colleges of humanities and social sciences, public schools and research institutes.
