The Mysore Diocesan Educational Society (MDES) is a registered body formed to ensure the efficient administration and coordinated functioning of the educational institutions established by the Catholic Diocese of Mysore. Renowned for its strong contribution to Catholic education, MDES extends its services to remote villages across Karnataka.
