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.
It has about 1100 registered students, including the students in the off campus institutions and affiliated institutions; on campus, on an average, we have 700 students pursuing their studies in various ecclesiastical disciplines.
With the state of the art infrastructures, and many other facilities, Dharmaram Vidya Kshetram, along with other institutions under the management of Carmelites of Mary Immaculate, offer the best of the ambience for study and research.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
