HISTORY

   

 KITTEL ARTS COLLEGE came in to existance on July, 1st 1988 as a result of the bifurcation of the erstwhile Kittel College into Kittel Arts College and Kittel Science College. The College is managed by Karnataka Northern Diocese, Church of South India, Basel Mission Higher Education Centre, Dharwad and affiliated to the Karnatak University Dharwad. The Institution is named after the celebrated Kannada Savant and lexicographer Rev. Dr. Ferdinand Kittel (1832-1903) who came to India as a missionary in 1853, deputed by the Basel Mission, Germany. He soon gained mastery over the South Indian languages and compiled the voluminous and important Kannada-Kannada-English Dictionary (1894). We hope that his life and teaching will set an example for the young students to emulate. The College is situated on the Poona-Bangalore National Highway (No.4) and is within walking distance from any part of the city and is easily accessible to all necessary facilities. The institution aims at imparting a sound learning and liberal education. It provides instruction in Arts faculty at the degree level, leading to B. A. degree.
