The year 2008 saw the dawn of Dr Shankar Tenginkai Vidyaniketena Pre-primary School with the inception 02 classrooms and 02 toilets. This initiation through Konkana Kurahatti Abhivruddhi Trust (KKAT) witnessed the beginning of a new era in the area of quality education in and around Kundagol Taluk.
