The
year 1947 saw India win its freedom. The nation had to be rebuilt
from ruins to achieve its former glory and regain its rightful place
in International scenario. Education was acknowledged as main trust
area. Late Sri H.M Gangadharaiah, a staunch Gandhian and
Buddhist, decided to address this cause. He envisioned an educational
establishment which will disperse the seeds of knowledge and build
a more intelligent society.
Sri
Siddhartha Education Society (S.S.E.S) was established in the year
1959 with the warm blessings of the father of Bhoodan movement,
"Saint Vinobha Bhave" with the objective of providing education
to the student community coming from rural areas and backward classes.

it is widely recognized among India's academic circle. Led by Dr.
G. Shivaprasad, a postgraduate and an eminent apthalmologist

Australia, SSES continues to march forward on the ideals set by
their father, Late Sri Gangadharaiah. Their commitment to
nation building remains the same.

the southern part of Karnataka. Institutions including Engineering
