Industrious and enterprising, Dr. M. S. Ramaiah is among Karnataka’s illutrious sons and an engineering contractor of national repute. He founded ‘Gokula Education Foundation’ in 1962 without expecting any kind of assistance from the establishment with an objective of serving the society. M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT) was born under the aegis of this foundation in the same year, creating a landmark in technical education in India.

Through the years MSRIT has imparted quality engineering and education, accessible to thousands from across India and abroad, facing a lack of opportunity to pursue higher education.

Widley acknowledged as a visionary,educationist, industrialist and philanthropist, Dr. M. S. Ramaiah personally ensured that the institution which began with just two disciplines, grew phenomenally over the years. MSRIT now offers Bachelors, Masters and Dectorate programmes in several disciplines and is recognised as one of India’s leading names in technical education. The institution is with state-of-the-art laboratories, well stocked libraries and has highly qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty. In tune with the noble ambitions and aspirations of Dr. M. S. Ramaiah to keep the institution growing and developing continuously so as to become a ‘Jnana Sagara’, all departments are continuously engaged in implementing approprite procedures to initiate, include and conduct unique programmes keeping in touch with the emerging requirements of the industry.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

- Swami Vivekananda

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. - John F. Kennedy

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
