The Organisation, The Adichunchanagiri Maha Samsthana Mutt, with its roots firmly embedded in the folds of time (about 1500 yrs) SPACE AND RELIGION (on a rocky hill about 100 kms west of Bangalore City) has been working towards the betterment of human life and society.

Following the 'Guru - Shishya' tradition, the mutt has been striving hard to elevate mankind slowly but steadily.

The mutt's development activities of social service gained an accelarated momentum in the form of the present Pontiff, Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Balagangadharanatha Swamiji, 71st in the holy lineage, who ascended the revered seat in 1974. Under his stewardship, the Mutt galvanised its activities of social service through education of the people, spreading far and wide, and to every nook and corner of the State. With its headquarters in Bangalore, the Mutt now has one Medical College, Two Engineering Colleges, Polytechnics, Degree Colleges etc.,
