HIREMATH FOUNDATION

About Us

Hiremath Foundation is a philanthropic organization inspired by the profound teachings of Jagadguru Shri Renukacharya and guided by the enduring legacy of Shri Virupakshayya Hiremath, a revered social reformer from Alahalli, a small village in the Vijayapura district of Karnataka. Shri Virupakshayya Hiremath dedicated his life to uplifting society through compassion, education, and the promotion of equality, regardless of caste, creed, or background.

Deeply rooted in the values of humanity, selfless service, spiritual growth, and education, the foundation is committed to driving sustainable and meaningful change across both rural and urban communities. Drawing strength from the teachings of Jagadguru Shri Renukacharya—who emphasized spiritual wisdom, social harmony, and inner transformation—the foundation works to inspire individuals to live purposefully and serve society.

The Hiremath Foundation also draws profound inspiration from Swami Vivekananda, whose message of youth empowerment, character building, national service, and universal compassion resonates deeply with its mission. By channeling Vivekananda’s vision of a spiritually awakened and socially responsible nation, the foundation focuses on building resilient communities grounded in knowledge and service.

The foundation's work is further enriched by the enduring values of the Jangam community, whose traditions emphasize spirituality, humility, devotion, equality, and community service. These principles are woven into the foundation’s core philosophy and continue to guide its efforts today.
