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:

    History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.
    Henry Ford (1863–1947)

    You that would judge me do not judge alone
    This book or that, come to this hallowed place
    Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
    Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
    Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
    And say my glory was I had such friends.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.
    Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
