WHO WE ARE

Value-based quality education for all

The Mysore Diocesan Educational Society (MDES) is a registered society established to administer, manage, and coordinate the effective, efficient, and smooth functioning of the educational institutions founded in the Catholic Diocese of Mysore. It stands as one of the most respected Catholic Educational Societies, committed to promoting the ministry of education even in the remote villages of Karnataka. Long before the formal registration of MDES in 1966, the Diocese had already founded and directly administered several educational institutions, reflecting its long-standing dedication to holistic and value-based education.
