A commitment to provide quality education in the teaching field
BLDEA established a College of Education in 1980. At the time of its inception, it was affiliated with Karnataka University, Dharwad. The college was the brainchild of Shri B M Patil, the then General Secretary of the BLDE Association. He was a farsighted visionary who recognized the need to provide quality education in the teaching field. Prof. N G Karur, the founder Principal of the institute, laid a strong foundation with a missionary zeal to develop the best teacher education institution in Karnataka.
In 1995 the college was renamed Jnanayogi Shri Siddeshwara Swamiji College of Education. From the year 2010 – 11 college has been affiliated with Rani Channamma University, Belagavi. IGNOU and KSOU recognized the college’s standard and quality of education and set up their study centres on the campus.
The college offers courses in B.Ed, M.Ed, and PhD courses for candidates willing to pursue a career in education. The institute has a conducive atmosphere with excellent infrastructure facilities and highly qualified and experienced academicians to train the students through various practical, theoretical and ICT based learning techniques. The staff have shown academic excellence in multiple seminars, workshops and conferences. The institute also has a well-established research centre to support the teaching methodologies. The college trains the students holistically to make them competent educators. Over the years, many students from the institute have secured ranks in B.Ed. and M.Ed. exams.
