The extreme shortage of medical facilities in the region, prompted the KLE Society to establish the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College(JNMC) at Belgaum in 1963. The JNMC today stands testimony to the high professional standards of the KLE Society. Under the able guidance and mature insight of the Founder Dean, Late Dr. B.S.Jirge, the foundation of the erstwhile academic excellence was laid. Eminent medical educationists, late Dr. B.M. Desai and Dr. M.BasavarajUrs headed the institution as principals during the first decade.

The KLE Society was born in the land of famous dynasties such as the Kadambas, Yadavas, Chalukyas, Peshwas and of freedom fighter Rani Chennamma. Seven selfless dedicated teachers (fondly known as Saptarishis) and three patrons (Founders) identified the immense need to create a strong educational base in the neglected areas of North Karnataka & South Maharashtra and started a school in Belgaum. This is how the KLE Society was born in 1916. Set upon a rare philosophy & fundamental principles of imparting quality education to the needy and the poor, the society has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 98 years. The stage is all set for the centennary celebrations.
