V. V. Shenoy was born on 15 Feb 1940 in Borkatte, Karkala Taluk, Karnataka.
He did his initial schooling in a small village elementary school in Borkatte.
Due to the poor financial conditions at home he got out at the very young age of 14 and ventured out in search of work.
He then pursued his high school education at S.V.T. Higher Elementary School, St. Thomas High School, Honnavar and then Janata Vidyalaya, Dandeli , part by part, with the help of the finances he managed to earn through the chores he did at various places.
He then came to Belgaum around the year 1963 to pursue his higher education and did his Bachelor of Science at R.L.S. College, Belgaum.
He was known for his commanding and leadership qualities and always had a soft corner for all his fellow students and other people.
Be it Academics, extracurricular activities, National Cadet Corps (India), representing the college or various other organizations and other social activities, he's known to excel in all.
During his B.Sc education days, he had to support his family back in his hometown as well as look after his basic needs in Belgaum.
This is when he saw and realized the amount of difficulties students faced at their peak age of career decision making and education attaining phase.
He then pursued and successfully completed his Bachelor of Education in Belgaum as he believed that it would help him in understanding the students’ issues and the situation of the educational system.
In the year 1968 he started (invented) a unique organization called Students' Information & Guidance Bureau .
 This organization served (and still does) over 60 lac members/students by solving, guiding and helping them achieve their higher education and career choices.
In the last ~40 years, he worked and served in innumerable organizations/fields mainly including Journalism, Horticulture and Kannada & Konkani Culture, Literature and Traditions.
He always believed that it was not necessary to be a Politician, Minister or a Celebrity to be a social worker and work for the welfare of the people.
