  • Today Vijayapura is most developed area in Devanahalli Taluk/ Region. It is having a best foundation schools, the educational level of the people gone up. The opening og Bangalore International Airport bought a handful of opportunities for youth here. Continues to be one of the most favoured place among bordering taluks and districts.
  • We have got good education in Vijayapura. Education is given in vivid to school children as well as college students. All together I can say It's growing faster and faster. We can hardly find Un-educates and they are very few.
