About Siddaganga Medical College and Research Institute, Tumakuru
Siddaganga Medical College and Research Institute (SMCRI), Tumakuru, is a newly established private medical college founded in 2022 under the spiritual and educational guidance of Sree Siddaganga Math — one of South India's most ancient, revered, and impactful Veerashaiva-Lingayat spiritual institutions, located in Tumakuru for over 600 years. The college was established by His Holiness Sree Siddalinga Swamiji — the current Mathadhyaksha (President) of Sree Siddaganga Math — continuing the visionary legacy of the legendary Dr. Sri Sri Shivakumara Mahashivayogi (1907–2019; 'Nadeda Devaru' — God who walked; Bharat Ratna 2015; lived 111 years) who ran 8,000+ free residential hostel students through 'Vidhyarthi Dasoha' (free food and education). The Siddaganga Math is renowned across India for its tireless seva (service) — providing free education and food to thousands of students from all backgrounds for over six decades, guided by Basaveshwara's philosophy of Kayaka (work is worship), Dasoha (share excess), and Seva (service to humanity). The Math runs 200+ educational institutions and inspired lakhs of people. SMCRI was established to further this mission by providing medical education and affordable specialist healthcare services to the community.
