BMSCE
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BMS College of Engineering, established in 1946, is a premier engineering educational institution located in Bangalore. Popularly just called 'BMS', it is located in the heart of Bangalore, the Garden City of India, which is one of the most important industrial cities in the country with a variety of large, small and medium scale industries. Bangalore is well known as the 'Electronics City' and 'Silicon Valley' of India. The climate of Bangalore is salubrious with cool weather throughout the year except during the months of April and May, when it slightly warms up.
In the history of Karnataka, the name of late Sri Bandugodu Madanapalli Sreenivasaiah(BMS) occupies a prominent place in the field of philanthropy. The Maharaja of Mysore honored him with the title of Raja Karya Prasaktha in 1946, when he opened the college. He had foreseen the urgent need for high quality technical education in India even before its independence. The ideals for which Sri B.M. Sreenivasaiah stood continue to inspire the inheritors of his legacy.
After the death of Sri Sreenivasaiah, Sri B.S.Narayan the dynamic and enterprising son of the founder took over the reigns of the college. Under his guidance the institution grew from strength to strength. He was also instrumental in initiating International Collaborative programmes such as cross-cultural programmes with the Melton Foundation and training foreign students under International Co-operation Division (ICD). Governments of Malawi, Botswana, Nepal, Srilanka, Rwanda and others regularly sponsor their students to study at BMS Institutions.
After the death of Sri B.S.Narayan in 1995, the government of Karnataka entrusted the reigns of BMS Educational Trust to a new Managing Body consisting of a Chairman, Member Secretary and three trustees of repute in the fields of Judiciary(Chairman), Administration (Member Secretary, IAS cadre) and Education (Former Vice Chancellor, Director of Technical Education etc.,).
