In 1919 a group of intellectuals with a vision and zeal established Anjuman Hami-e-Muslimeen, a charitable education trust, aimed at imparting modern and religious education to the residents of Bhatkal and surrounding areas.

This journey of hundred's of miles began with a single step" Education is the highway that leads to a nation and community's progress and prosperity. The accumulation of knowledge is a focal point in Islamic faith as the very first revelation to the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) - and through him all Muslims - was to read in the name of God."

Over the years, this institution has been instrumental in grooming thousands of students from Bhatkal and nearby villages for the future. In keeping with the needs of the time and the cultural and religious background of the community, Anjuman has set up fifteen institutions of modern learning over the period from its inception until now. Providing religious education and character building is part of the curriculum. The range of institutions vary from basic education right from the nursery level to higher education of degree colleges as well as a professional college of engineering imparting technical education including computer science.
