Dandathirtha Group of Educational Institutions


Rooted in tradition and committed to progress, Dandathirtha Group of Educational Institutions has been shaping young minds since 1917. What began as a humble lower primary school near Canara Nursery — founded by the visionary Diwan Bahadur Muddanna Shetty — has now evolved into a full-fledged educational ecosystem nurturing students from early learning to pre-university education.


Named after the sacred Dandathirtha Matha, the institution embodies a legacy of discipline, values, and academic excellence. Over the decades, it has steadily grown under the guidance of dedicated leaders — from Smt. Girija Shetty, Shri Govind Shetty, and Dr. K. Prabhakar Shetty, to today’s dynamic leadership of Dr. K. Prashanth Shetty and his family.

Management Faculty

Dandathirtha is led by a dedicated management team and a highly qualified faculty who share a common vision — to provide quality education with care, commitment, and consistency. Together, they ensure every student receives guidance, encouragement, and the tools to succeed.
