The Janatha Education Society is a Co-operative venture dedicated to serve the general public in the field of education. Beginning as a small unit, running only a pre-university college, today after 25 years, it is an organisation managing nine institutions ranging from kindergarten to the degree and post-degree level. About 5000 students study in its campus. This has been possible because of the selfless services offered by the staff and the patronage of the public. There is a constant endeavour to enhance the efficiency of the services offered and to improve the quality of instruction imparted in the different institutions run by the society. Several Committees, governing councils and forums have been constituted by the society to assist in the efficient functioning of these institutions.

The society started the Vivekananda Institute of Technology (V.I.T.) in 1997. The institution was recognised by the A.I.C.T.E., New Delhi in its letter No. F-770/53/262/ET/96 dated 4-9-97 and by the Government of Karnataka, Bangalore vide G.O. No. ED 214 UBV 97 dated 12-11-97. It is affiliated to the Bangalore University.
