Kannada Sangha’s Kaveri College of Science and Commerce is recognized by the State

Government and affiliated to the prestigious University of Pune. This is an unaided college

bearing the status of minority institution.

The parent body of the college, ‘Kannada Sangha’ forayed into the field of education four

decades ago. After establishing the brand KAVERI in Pre-Primary, Primary, Secondary and

Junior College, the Sangha has started shaping the Kaveri College of Science and Commerce

to make it one of the best Senior Colleges in Pune.

Founded in 2005, with Bachelor of Commerce course (affiliated to University of Pune) the

college added Science faculty in the year 2007-08 with Bachelor of Science (Comp. Sci.). In

addition to this, in the same academic year three under-graduate courses affiliated to

University of Pune, namely, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Computer

Application and Bachelor of Business Management (International Business) were added. In

Our vision is ‘Excellence in Education,’ and we believe that the only way to achieve it is by

providing the students quality education, excellent facilities and offering numerous

opportunities for holistic and all round development. In addition to this, we give impetus on

exposing the students with real life application of the theoretical knowledge and we

encourage Industry- Institute interaction to keep the students abreast with global changes.

departments. The need of the hour is to learn these skills before entering the real world. In

like professionalism, creativity, decision making, how to solve bottlenecks and listening

skills.

knowledge, to enhance communication skills and to make each and every participant think

beyond the regular framework of classroom teaching and syllabus. This activity also helps the


students to present a particular point/topic in a structured form after

collecting their thoughts throughout the week. After participating in the

Katta meets, the students understand that knowledge increases when we

share it. ‘Kaveri Katta’ is a place where an enthusiastic bunch of

students from BCom., BBA, BCA and BSc. (CS) meet every Thursday
