SDM Institute of Technology, Ujire, established in 2007, is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University and is approved by AICTE. The guiding spirit and the driving force for all the progress and achievements of our institution is the President Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Shri Kshethra Dharmasthala. The institute focuses on integrating scientific training with value based education, to enable the all round development of the learners.
Industrial activity is on the rise in Dakshina Kannada and neighbouring districts. There is a growing demand for technical work force in the region, especially in areas like Electronics and Information Technology. It is projected that more IT Companies may choose Dakshina Kannada as a base for their expansion in the near future. However, most of the Engineering Colleges are located in the urban area. So SDM Institute of Technology focuses on promoting quality technical education in the region, to create a paradigm shift among the rural community that education is of paramount importance for socio economic development.
