Hirekerur is a taluka head quarter surrounded by
124 villages,mainly depending on monsoon based agriculture,
economically, socially is backward.
We feel very much proud in introducing The Hirekerur Taluka
Vidyavardhaka Souharda Sahakari Limited, Hirekerur District
Haveri. Which is educationally, industrially, economically
backward area in the district. Our taluk is no exception
to remote place existing, nearly forty kilometers away from
the national highway and railway station at Ranebennur.
There were no good roads to reach Hirekerur. Even today
there are many remote villages in the taluk. Agriculture
is the main occupation and it depends upon Monsoon. The
only river Kumadwati runs in our taluk is not efficiently
utilized for irrigation.
The First Grade College at Haunsbhavi, is 20 km away from
Hirekerur. It was too far away for the rural youth of the
surrounding villages. Later Govt. First Grade college was
established in Hirekerur during 1982. But had poor infrastructure
facilities and lacking in good academic activities.
To
impart much needed higher education in this southern part
of Haveri district under the banner of Hirekerur Taluka

farsightedness and inspiration of our educationis and a
