History

Dharmaram Vidya Kshetram was established at Dharmaram College, the Central Study House of the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI), an indigenous religious congregation founded in 1831. The Study House which was originally founded in 1918 at Chethipuzha, Kerala was moved to Bangalore in 1957. By December 8, 1965, it became affiliated to the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, which was later made into an autonomous Pontifical Athenaeum, under the direction of the Congregation for Catholic Education, Vatican, and is empowered to award academic degrees up to PhD in Philosophy and Theology, and Licentiate in Philosophy, Theology, Canon Law, and Formative Spirituality and Counselling.
