.JPG) Kalpataru
First Grade Science College
“Kalpataru College” was started in 1962 with
philanthropic support from visionaries like Shri
Pallagatti Adavappa, and also donations from
denizens of Tiptur and surrounding villages. The
founder Principal of the college was Prof. J.R.
Mahalingaiah who worked tirelessly to lay a
strong foundation to the institution. Initially
all the streams of Arts, Science and Commerce
were offered under Kalpataru College. In 1982,
as the strength increased manifold, the
Kalpataru College was bifurcated into Kalpataru
Science College and Pallagatti Adavappa Arts and
Commerce College for a smoother administration.
The Pre-University sections of both the colleges
were clubbed together to form Kalpataru P U
College during 2001, allowing the parent
institutions to function as First Grade Degree
Colleges, namely Kalpataru First Grade Science
College and Pallagatti Adavappa Arts and
Commerce First Grade College.
In the beginning the college was affiliated to
Mysore University and then came under the
jurisdiction and affiliation of Bangalore
University. Since 2005 it is affiliated to the
Tumkur University. The College has always been
in the vanguard in securing distinctions and
ranks in different disciplines every year. The
institution takes pride in possessing
consistently resourceful and dedicated staff and
equally studious and meticulous pupils. The
students are motivated and inspired by providing
with all the necessary infrastructural support.
Besides providing internet facility to each
department, the college has a network laboratory
with twenty computers exclusively for the
students’ use. The college has imparted high
quality education to all sections of society
regardless of poverty, caste, color or creed.
The College offers two undergraduate programs:
B.Sc. with 4 combinations: PCM, CBZ, PME & PMCs
and BCA. The college has Boys and Girls wings of
NCC, three NSS units, Scouts & Guides Unit and
Youth Red Cross Unit. The college has been
accredited by NAAC. In each of the three cycles
of accreditation, the college improved its
Grades from B to A. In the third cycle of NAAC
accreditation in 2016, the college was awarded
with highest grade “A” with CGPA of 3.07.
The college takes pride in having invited great
luminaries like Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Sri.T N
Chaturvedi, Dr. Shivakumar Swamiji, ex- chief
Ministers like Sri.S Nijalingappa, Sri.
Veerendra patil and Mr. S M Krishna besides,
several literary and cultural legends such as

KALPATARU VIDYA SAMSTHE (R), TIPTUR
(ESTD.1961) :
 Kalpataru
Vidya Samsthe is one of the premier educational
trusts doing yeoman service to the rural people
with its various educational institutions. It
was established in 1961. Being geographically
secluded from bigger cities, and having no civic
amenities during the early 1960’s, Tiptur was
deprived of institutions for higher education.
Students aspiring to pursue tertiary education,
had to inevitably leave the town and explore
Mysore or Bangalore, which was fiscally not a
viable proposition to the local poor. Their
ambition would have continued to remain a
distant dream, but for some extraordinary
visionaries.
Message from the principal
“A Vision is not just a picture of what
could be; instead it is an appeal to our better
selves and a call to become something more”.
The website showcases the wealth of experiences
we offer the students and gives them a wider
appreciation for their wonderful work. We hope
you enjoy your visit and return regularly to
check out our latest news. Dear students and
stakeholders, warm Greetings! It is with a
profound sense of humility and privilege that I
address this message as the newly designated
Principal in this prestigious institute. I feel
truly fumbled that I have been bestowed with the
great responsibility of leading this institution
to the dazzling and sparkling shores of renown
and grandeur. “Kalpataru Vidya Samsthe” synonyms
to instilling discipline and is a reflection
aiming to groom, nurture and churnout the best
in its potential knowledge seeker who are
entrusted to our care. We firmly believe in
gives our learners strong values along with a
set a wings that may carry them far and wide.
Hence we prepare and mould them first as social
beings and then scholars. We leave no stone
unturned to awaken the latent talents of our
students and hone them to perfection. The
pandemic caused by Covid-19 has inevitably
brought in a word-wide unprecedented eruption in
all walks of our life and has not spared any
sector of the economy. Changing with the change
and ‘problem’ well-handled could be an
‘opportunity’ in disguise is the novel lesion
that this pandemic has taught to all of us.
Despite all these challenges, our academic
mentors are mindful of constantly making every
effort to reach out the teaching – learning
needs of the students. Though times do not last
for long. Adversity will make you reaffirm to
change your goals, remain optimistic and
creatively thrive the situation.
With Best Regards,
Dr.G.N. Umesh
Principal
