The very objective of the institution is to give education as expressed by Swami Vivekananda, “Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man”.
Here, sincere efforts are made to integrate mental, moral and spiritual powers of the students along with the formal syllabus, leading to the holistic blossoming of their personalities.
The NAAC Accreditation process and subsequent Peer Team visits in 2004, 2011 and 2017 have turned out to be a very fruitful exercise. The college has acted upon the suggestions and recommendations of the earlier Peer teams and worked zestfully which resulted in necessary quality initiatives, quality sustenance and enhancement measures such as introduction of Postgraduate Courses, increasing use of ICT in all academic and administrative activities, making the teaching more student-centred. Having immense development in the infrastructure, steps have been taken to inculcate research culture. These measures have helped the institution to reiterate its faith in the Core Values of Higher Education. As the Vision of the institution is to mould the students into civilized, principle-centred, confident, competent and employable, nation-building youth, new measures have been taken to keep pace with recent developments.
Vivekananda Vidyavardhaka Sangha (R) Puttur, previously known as ‘Puttur Education Society’, was founded in 1915, to provide quality & value based education to children of rural areas and lower economic group. The institution has spread its wings through 80 educational institutions from KG to PG and professional courses, with more than 18500 students pursuing their studies.

In addition to the successful management of the educational institutions, it has implemented many projects that are useful to the society.
