15 years of our journey Management speaks

From the Desk of Chairman

Channabasaveshwara Institute of Technology is not just an outcome of entrepreneurial pursuit. It is desire to serve the society through value based education. Education is the most powerful tool to eradicate poverty and ill practices in the nation. Educating youths of the nation, especially the ones from rural area, is like serving god. Economic, social & spiritual progress of nation is possible only through effective education. The endeavour to establish CIT under the aegis of CRED, Society in the year 2001 was a step to provide opportunity to rural students to pursue

journey had various ups and downs. Due to visionary leadership & committed staff, every challenge CIT encountered was combated effectively and moved ahead. In short period CIT, Gubbi became a brand not just in Tumkur District, but entire State of Karnataka.

In the year 2008 we went one step ahead in helping economically weaker meritorious students. Much before the

was introduced by AICTE to allow students from the economically weaker sections of the society to gain admission in engineering colleges across India for reduced tuition fees, CIT was offering scholarships to 6-8 such students to pursue free engineering education at CIT, Gubbi through CIT-CAT - Examination. With this initiative we have transformed the lives of around 70+ families. Needless to say students who have completed their B.E successfully under CIT-CAT reflects

helping the poor.

I hope CIT, Gubbi would very soon become one of the Centres of Excellence for technical education in the country.
