About

In the beginning of the 1960s, the people of Bali aspired to have a Tertiary Institution on the island. In order to realize this aspiration, on May 12th 1961, several figures from the educational sector, government, and community leaders conducted a conference led by Prof.Dr. Purbatjaraka,and assisted by Prof. Dr. Ida Bagus Mantra as secretary.

Subsequently, the committee formed an institution named the Tertiary Education Institution of Bali, chaired by Ir. Ida Bagus Oka (Coordinator of Public Works Boards in the Southeast Islands Region); vice chaired by Dr. I Gusti Ngurah Gede Ngurah, assisted by two secretaries, Prof. Dr. Ida Bagus Mantra, and Drh.
