SAMPLE EVENT

Geographically, the taluk is situated at about 1800 sq.ft. above sea level and it is 48 kms far from Davangere. Rainfall is scanty here. The average annual rainfall is bare, minimum i.e. 373.8 m.m to 615.9 m.m. Due to this, life of the people here is miserable. The taluk is home to a number of people belonging to scheduled caste and scheduled tribes. Besides there are also a number of economically backward people. To add to this woe the taluk is devoid of basic irrigational facilities. As a result every summer the labourers here are forced to migrate to the coffee estates of Chikkamagalur district and Bangalore in search of their daily bread

Until 1982 Jagalur did not have a degree college. The students had to travel upto 40-50 kms to the nearest towns for their education. Due to utter poverty many of the parents were unable to provide higher education to their children. When the taluk was in this predicament the government issued an order to start a degree college in 1982. The first degree college Sri H.C.Boraiah Memorial SC/ST First Grade College was started with just 15-20 students in a rented building. The credit of undertaking this noble task goes to 'Jagalur Taluk Nayakara Sangha (Regd)'. The college was named in the memory of Sri H.C.Boraiah, Ex-Transport Minister, Karnataka State. Sri Late Srinivasa Nayaka, Advocate and Sri S.B.Thippa Nayaka, retired teacher were the founder President and Secretary respectively. The institution was admitted to grant-in-aid in 1987. The college owns 7.2 acres of land and a new building was constructed in June 2000. The present premise has an excellent environment enriched with trees and plants. The college got 2(F) in 1988, permanent affiliation in 2005 and 12(B) in 2006.

The college has an extensive library measuring 192 sq.ms, consisting more than 14,500 books, various daily weekly newspapers and journals. The college has a vast playground, two NSS units with 200 students. The college has set up a computer lab consisting 36 computers and a network centre with 10 computers with a broadband internet connection.
