Ordinary villages also had sometimes their own schools and colleges. One institution for Sanskrit education existed at Belur in Bijapur district in 1022 A.D., (19) another at Soratur in Dharwar district in c. 950 A.D., (20) a third one at Bijapur during c. 975-1075 A.D., (21) a fourth one at Yewoor in 1077 A.D. (22) and so on. These are the institutions the memory of which has been accidentally preserved in records, that have withstood the ravages of time; there may have probably existed many more. We may, therefore, fairly conclude that the facilities for higher education during our period can compare fairly well with those afforded in the present age.
