ABOUT JNV DAKSHINA KANNADA

Dakshina Kannada district is a panorama of palm-fringed beaches, lush green fields and enchanting forests. It is sheltered by the soaring Western Ghats on the east and the mighty Arabian Sea roaring along its western shores. With an important port, this coastal town is a major commercial centre. The lifeline of the district, the National Highway No 17 almost runs parallel to the sea for over 95 kms in the district. Nowhere does the distance between the highway and the sea exceed more than a few kilometers.

Mangalore is a long stretch of beautiful green land at the South western part of the Indian peninsula. The word 'Mangalore' means auspicious place. 'Mangala' (Sanskrit) means happiness auspicious, 'Uuru' the end suffix means 'place'. 'Mangalore' is the Portuguese corruption of the word 'Mangaluru' or' Mangalapura'. But the natives identify this place as 'Kudla' or Kodial meaning the joining of two rivers. ('kuudu' means to join and 'ala' refers for water/river).
