Founder and Chairman

I M Jayaram shetty

Born in the illustrious Moodlakatte Doddamane family of Sri. Bhujanga Shetty & Smt. Nagarathna Shetty, the erstwhile philanthropic landlords and agriculturists, I M Jayaram Shetty has carved a name among the social stalwarts who were instrumental in transforming the undivided South Canara district, which has mythological connection to the famous sage Lord Parashurama. Hence this land is described as the Land of Parashurama Srishti.

Entrepreneurship and Political Career

Taking a cue from these stalwarts and many such greats of South Canara, Mr. I M Jayaram Shetty returned to his roots to Moodlakatte and his family profession of agriculture. He started his venture “Agro Chem Industries” for the production of micro-nutrient chemical fertilizers. After conducting deep research and study in the field of agriculture, he set up a factory at Bangalore, this venture was of great help for the farmers in getting higher yield in crops than with the use of any other fertilizers.

Political Journey

Appreciating his yeoman service to the agriculturists, and his fondness to serve the rural society, the people of Kundapur and Byndoor taluks looked up to him as a strong leader and this love of the people forced him to contest from Byndoor legislative assembly seat, which he won with a sound margin in 1994. Again in 1996, he contested for Loksabha elections. But unfortunately, he lost the elections by a slender margin of 200 votes.

Leadership and Contributions

Mr. I M Jayaram Shetty worked tirelessly as an MLA then as an MP towards the welfare of the people of his constituency. He was instrumental in providing basic health care and education facilities to the rural folk. Fishing harbor development, rural health centers, development of schools and institutions, upgrading information technology, roads and infrastructure, setting up re-cycling plants at the large industries, creating employment opportunities for the rural youth are some of the important and valuable contributions from him for the people of his constituency.

Legacy and Institution

A born leader from his student days, his natural vision was to establish an Engineering college in his birth place. His vision found fruition in 2004 when Moodlakatte Institute of Technology was established in the sprawling 60 acres of land at Moodlakatte, his birth place. After leading the Institution for several years his health started deteriorating. He passed away on 15 May 2014, at his residence in Bangalore after a prolonged illness.

Continuation of Legacy

He left behind a legacy for his wife and children, which blossomed into an Institution of Eminence on the coastal Karnataka. Now the Institution is headed by his son, the young and dynamic Chairman Mr. Sidhartha J. Shetty.

Mr. Sidhartha J. Shetty

Sidhartha J Shetty is an ambitious, dynamic young man, highly influenced and motivated by his illustrious father Late I M Jayaram Shetty, the founder of the MNBS Trust who was an industrialist, committed politician, a mass leader and a philanthropist to the core.

Early Influence and Education

Though young, during the days of Mr. Jayaram Shetty’s tenure as a politician, Mr. Sidhartha J Shetty imbibed the virtues and values of his father and was drawn into the education field as I M Jayaram Shetty established the Engineering Institute “Moodlakatte Institution of Technology” in the year 2004. Then, after his education in Engineering, he started to devote more time to the management of the Institution, learning the finer aspects of Management.

Transition to Leadership

When his father expired after a long illness, he decided to step into the shoes of his father and take up the mantle of the Trust as the Chairman. Though it was not a cake walk, as the problems mounted due to the untimely death of his father, Mr. Sidhartha J. Shetty displayed the skills he learnt from his father to overcome most of the obstacles to set the Institution on the right path to progress.

Commitment to Vision

Though this period was troubled by mushrooming growth of Engineering colleges, the resultant short term setbacks did not deter the young man from pursuing his father’s vision. He involves himself deeply in the management and administration of the Institute and leading it in a path of new development befitting the fast changing academic world in the current new reality which is demanding and uncompromising.

Expansion and Innovation

His love for education at all levels is reflected in his new ideas of starting schools beginning with a full-fledged modern play school which paves the way to the establishment of primary schools to higher secondary schools (up to 12th class) in one big educational complex. An impressive master plan for the educational complex is already drawn, reflecting his vision and his father’s dreams.

Skill Development and Future Vision

Another innovative thinking from him is to encourage youths to attain proper skill through skill development programs under the Govt of India through which they can access better-paying jobs and also experience a greater standard of living. With Mr. Sidhartha J Shetty at the helm of affairs, IMJ Group is poised to become an Education hub on the coastal Karnataka and shine among the ranks of academic institutions of India.

Chairman’s Message

In India only 6% of the students can make it to higher studies. When it comes to girls the number drops to 4%. These two staggering statistics tells you the real story of education in India. We at MITK are trying bridge this gap through public private partnerships. MITK provides holistic environment for the overall development of students. Well equipped labs and library, ever extending infrastructure, industry – academia partnerships, collaboration with government bodies, corporate social responsibility and last but not the least research and innovation are the prime features of MITK.
