RUDSET Institute, Ujire: About Us : Ujire, Karnataka

History Background

Millions of unemployed youth particularly from rural and semi-urban background who could not access higher/professional education but oriented towards white-collar jobs are driven to despair for not finding a job. Of late, these distressed youth are attracted towards antisocial activities for their livelihood. This tremendous waste of human resources and mismatch of potentiality with productive deployment has baffled the planners and administrators.

Genesis

It is under these circumstances that Rural Development & Self Employment Training Institute (RUDSETI), a unique initiative in mitigating the problem of unemployment was taken way back in 1982 jointly by Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Educational Trust, SyndicateBank and Canara Bank under the visionary leadership of Dr D Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala. The collective thinking gave concrete shape in providing an institutional framework in the form of Rural Development & Self Employment Training Institute (RUDSETI) in 1982.
