Bharatesh Education Trust (BET) is a name synonymous with quality education at affordable cost. It was established in 1962 by a bunch of young entrepreneurs with a passion for education. Led by Late Shri Komalanna Doddanavar and a group of other education enthusiasts who felt the need for an educational institution that would provide multi – disciplinary courses in this part of the state, the trust held ambitious plans rooted in hard work and dedication from its founder members. They worked voluntarily and the same is being followed even after six decades. The Trust started out with just one school and today runs 21 educational institutions across 3 campuses in and around Belagavi. It includes the Polytechnic, Homeopathic Medical College, 7 schools (Kannada, Marathi and English), ITI, BBA, BCA, BA, BCom, BSc, MBA, MCom courses, pre-schools and a Ph. D. study center. It covers the whole gamut of education from KG to PG and beyond for the students of this region. Its reputation has reached across the country and hence students from all over India and abroad choose Bharatesh for its quality education. The primary objective of the trust is to impart supreme quality education to the poor, needy and rural students in and around Belagavi. Several of Bharatesh institutions have been accredited including MBA, BCA, BHMC (NAAC), Homeopathic Hospital (NABH) and Polytechnic.
