POORNA PRAJNA COLLEGE UDUPI

       The College was founded in order to meet the growing demand for university education in this part of the district and make it available nearer home so that the economically less fortunate section of the people in the region might profit from it. 
      The founders believe that no education will be worth the name if the imparting of instruction in the various branches of knowledge is not attended by a proper shaping of character. Fullness of knowledge and of awareness is the ideal conveyed by the epithet Poornaprajna, which was also the name of the great Madhwacharya, from whose life and work the College derives its inspiration. With this difficult but worthy ideal in view, the College has adopted the motto ' ' Prajnanetro lokah".
       Poornaprajna College was founded in 1960, by the eight Swamijis of Udupi. But in February 1962, with a view to streamlining the day-to-day administration of the College, its maintenance and its governance were handed over to Admar Mutt Education Council, registered society functioning under the leadership of H. H. Swami Vibudhesha Tirtha of Sri Admar Mutt. In the beginning the College provided only the Arts and Commerce courses. The Science courses were first introduced at the Pre-University level in 1963 and at the degree level in 1965.
