SDM LAW COLLEGE

SDM Law College and Post Graduate Studies and Research in Law is a professional College in Legal Education in Coastal Karnataka Sponsored and managed by Shree Dharmastala Educational Society (R.), Ujire D.K under the benevolent presidentship of  Padmabhushan Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade.

The son of Shri Ratnavarma Heggade was a boy of great dignity and devotion. Nurtured by the piety of his father's administrative skills and dedication to Dharma, the boy showed great maturity at an early age. A maturity that proved itself when the mantle of Heggadeship fell on his young shoulders at the tender age of 20, on 24th October 1968.
In less than four decades, since he assumed responsibilities in 1968, he has carried his heritage to greater heights. Not only by continuing to protect the essence of the Kshetra, but also by achieving remarkable progress in his service to mankind.
Befittingly, Shri Veerendra Heggade realized his father's dream by accomplishing the carving and installation of the Bahubali. A feast so wonderful that, for any ordinary man it could suffice as the achievement of a life time.
But for this far seeking Heggade, this was merely a legacy he had inherited for completion. To him, the duties as a Grahastha and as the Heggade of the Kshetra are unceasing endeavours.
And his devotion to these responsiblities are evident in achievements without end. The relentless pursuits of a man to uplift mankind by divinity, charity and guidance.

What distinguishes Shri Veerendra Heggade is that while being the head of a revered religious institution, he is, today, far more than that. His years of practicing 'active' Dharma have given him a vision that combines social issues such as education and environment with religion. This has resulted in him being requested to grace a variety of functions and his opinions treated with immense respect. His advice is sought by the high and mighty on every topic under the sun, bar politics, which he eschews. Amazingly though, Shri Heggade's common touch sees the ordinary supplicant as comfortable in seeking him out as a friend, philosopher and guide.
While the traditional duties of the Heggade itself would fill the hours of the day for most, Shri Veerendra Heggade has found the energy to do much more. His commitment to "Dharma in Action" and the superhuman zeal have resulted in initiatives and programmes that have given a new meaning to Dharma. The true visionary, he has broadened the scope of the Kshetra's role as can be seen in the multifarious activities it is engaged in today.
