Once known as “Manchester of Karnataka “ with many spinning and weaving mills, Davanagere lost its glory after the collapse of Textile industry and would have sunk to obscurity, Thanks to the vision , perseverance and dynamism of Sri Shamanur Shivashanakarappa and his dedicated team of elite and professionals due to which Davanagere could sustain its growth in the filed of educational and industrial activities. Davanagere has become a place to reckon in the educational map of this country due to the exponential growth of BEA. In spite of his deep involvement in the promotion of education , the entrepreneurship of Sri Shamanur Shivashanakrappa has manifested in starting and running successful many Industries in and around Davanagere.
