Rashtreeya sikshana samithi Trust (RSST)
The Rashtreeya Sikshana Samithi Trust is a pioneer organization in the state to start the first private Teachers College in the erstwhile Mysore State. It was the vision of our founder Secretary of R.S.S.T. Late M.C. Shivananda Sharma a great patriot and freedom fighter. He felt the need for starting a College of Education to nurture the spirit of nationalism among the teachers. His sincere efforts took the shape of R.V. Teachers College in 1954. It is a grant in aid institution affiliated to Bangalore University and recognized by the NCTE. The college was identified by DEPSE, New Delhi as an agency to provide in-service education for teachers. We had the fortune of having the Dept of Extension Services in 1957. Since then, several in-service programmes like Orientation programme, Workshops, Discussion meets were organized for the professional development of school teachers throughout the state, Thousands of teachers got the academic benefit from the Department of Extension Services (D.ES).
Another important mile stone in the history of our college was starting of post Graduate Section in the year 1974. This was the first private college offering evening course in both B.Ed and M.Ed for the benefit of In-service Teachers. It was a boon to many aspiring working teachers who could pursue their higher education and improve their qualifications and academic competence.
Later in the year 1996 the Ministry of Human Resources and Development, New Delhi, upgraded some of the outstanding institutions in the country as Institutes of Advanced Studies in Education. Our college too was elevated to the status of IASE in 1996 because of the good academic service rendered by our college, we are indeed very happy to say that this is the only private aided college to get such a status in the entire state of Karnataka. After up gradation as IASE, our functions are teaching, research and extension.
