About Us
Government First Grade College, Periyapatna was established in the year 1991 with a motto of providing higher education for the rural students largely coming from the agricultural background. The Periyapatna taluk is known for tobacco cultivation across the country and rich in economic and socio-cultural aspects. Though, it is still an educationally backward taluk in Mysore district. To overcome this, with the effort of Late Sri. Kalamarigowda, former MLA, the Government First Grade College was established in 1991. Because of the effort of Sri. Kalamarigowda, former MLA, Sri. H.S. Basavaraju, former MLA, current sitting MLA of Periyapatna constituency Sri. K. Venkatesh, and teaching and non-teaching staff, the college has seen tremendous growth in recent years. It was started with only 41 students now it has reached to almost 800 students.
The college is offering BA (Bachelor of Arts), B. COM (Bachelor of Commerce) and BBM (Bachelor of Business Management) courses. The college is affiliated to the University of Mysore and obtained the 2 (B) and 12 (F) status by the University Grant Commission (UGC).
The college was started in a very small building with very minimal infrastructural support in 1991. In 2002 the college was shifted to its own building in Mallarajapatna on the Hassan-Periyapatna State highway. The college now has a huge building with very spacious land for further growth.
The constant and commendable result of our students with the support of teaching and non-teaching fraternity, our college has been attracting large number of students not only from Periyapatna but also from nearby places such as Krisnarajanagar, Hunsur and Kodagu district.
