About Our College

Tumkur District has its own unique feature for being called an education centre. It provides students all courses of education to choose from. This education centre has reached its zenith only when Vidyodaya Law College was established under Vidyodaya Education Society with the sole motto of providing legal education to the students of southern zone of Karnataka in particular and the neighboring states in general, under the “Society Registration Act 1860”, in the year 1958-59. It is the first college in Karnataka that was founded in the midst of the head quarter and it was affiliated to the Mysore University in 1958-59. 

Since from 1958 the fragrance of legal education spread by the institution from rural to urban level irrespective of class and creed of the society.  

During its affiliation to the Mysore University, there was two years course in existence and the admission was restricted to the graduates under the “Bachelors Degree in Law (B.L). Later it was converted in to the 3 Years course LL.B., as per the rules of the Bar Council of India. The same course is being continued even today. The Vidyodaya Education Society got its own campus in the year 1979 with the help of the well known personalities. From 1958-59 to 1993-94, Vidyodaya Law College successfully ran under the supervision and guidance of Vidyodaya Education Society. Later Vidyodaya Education Society has taken a new and innovative shape in the form of VIDYODAYA FOUNDATION (R.) TRUST.

VIDYODAYA FOUNDATION (R.) TRUST was established in the year 1994. Under the guidance of trust, the first floor and the second floor of the building with all infrastructures needed for a Law college was constructed in the heart of the town, in the year 1995 and 2002 respectively. The college has a very wide, spacious and computerized library, good infrastructure and internet with website facilities.

In the year 1974, the Vidyodaya Law College had come under the jurisdiction of the Bangalore University and worked successfully by adhering to the norms of Bangalore University up to 2005. The Vidyodaya Law College also worked under the jurisdiction of the Tumkur University from 2005-2009.

The Government of Karnataka has passed a resolution to establish a separate Law University to bring all Law Colleges of Karnataka under its jurisdiction in order to improve Legal standards in legal education. As a result of this resolution ‘THE KARNATAKA STATE LAW UNIVERSITY’ was established in the year 2009, at Hubballi as its Head quarter.

Under the guidance and direction of VIDYODAYA FOUNDATION (R.) TRUST, the Vidyodaya Law College has made a long journey under the Mysore University, Bangalore University, Tumkur University. In this long journey the college has reached a new peak of development and acquired progressive and innovative changes by successfully chasing all periodical tests and stages under the Mysore University, Bangalore University, Tumkur University.

Now it has begun a new journey under the THE KARNATAKA STATE LAW UNIVERSITY from 2009 onwards. We hope that it will achieve and reach a new peak of progress under the jurisdiction of THE KARNATAKA STATE LAW UNIVERSITY.
