About the College

The Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College, founded in 1949 was the brainchild of the late Dr. T.M.A. Pai, the architect of modern Manipal. Located in the sylvan terrain of Sagri, close to Manipal-International centre for education, this institution is a premier Arts, Science and Commerce College in the district. MGM was the beacon, Manipal followed and MAHE flowered, transforming the topography into the “Education Kashi of South India. Over the past five and a half decades, the College has witnessed both academic and infrastructural growth and has opened new vistas in the educational and cultural history of this part of coastal Karnataka. It has enriched the lives of hundreds and thousands of young men and women and inspired educationists and philanthropists of erstwhile South Kanara to start similar temples of learning elsewhere. Veritably, the College is a torchbearer and trendsetter in the field of higher education.

The vision of our founder Dr. T.M.A. Pai was “to take education to the doorsteps of the people in and around Udupi.” The lamp lit by him has lit hundreds of lamps. The college believes in words of the Mahatma after whom the college is named- “The end of all knowledge must be building up of character”. With the changing times the Vision & Mission of the college has been affirmed as follows:
