With an objective of holding light to those in darkness and extending support to helpless and guide those who have lost direction, our kind hearted, socially concerned and dedicated reformers laid down the foundation of Vidya Vikas Education Society in 1962, to impart higher education to the masses, especially, the weaker and underprivileged sections of society. Late Dr. W. S. Matkar, Ex. MLA, Maharashtra State, Late Dr. Datta Samant, renowned trade unionist and Ex. MP and Shri P. M. Raut, recipient of the National Award for Teacher and present Chairman of the society, are the founder members of the institution. The institution could reach a remarkable milestone in the field of education in a very short span of time. Started with an initial strength of 260 students, it has now grown up both qualitatively and quantitatively into 21 educational units imparting knowledge to more than 15,000 students from KG to Ph. D level.

All the members of Vidya Vikas Education Society family are fortunate to be guided and supported in their mission of education by Shri P. M. Raut Chairman, Vidya Vikas Education Society and Mrs. Vidya P Raut, Chief Executive Officer of the institution, both being the recipients of the National Award for teaching.

Vikas College of Arts, Science & Commerce started in the year 1986 with 87 students in First Year B.Com class has now developed into a multidisciplinary institution with more than 4000 students. The college has a state of the art infrastructure, advanced laboratories, library facilities, reading rooms, auditorium, audio-visual and overhead/slide projector facilities, info-tech center, well equipped gymkhana and gymnasium, canteen, conference hall, cultural activities room etc.

The College has distance learning centers of Y.C.M.O.U and T.M.U offering various under graduates, post-graduate and professional courses. At present more than 1000 students are availing education from the study center.

The basic aim of education is the development of human potential. Quality education not only becomes a person’s precious asset, but equips him/her to be a responsible and successful citizen. A critical mass of people with higher education and a sense of responsibility is the necessity of any progressive nation.

Vidya Vikas Education Society, established in 1962, is constantly dedicated towards the fulfillment of these objectives to impart higher education to the masses; especially the weaker and underprivileged sections of the society and extends support to the helpless. Late Dr. W. S. Matkar, Ex M.L.A, Maharashtra State, Late Dr. Datta Samant, Ex M.P and Trade Unionist and Honorable Prof. M. K. Kutekar, the present Chairman of the institution, are the founder members of the institution.

Vidya Vikas Education Society is a family which is fortunate to be guided in their mission of education by Shri P. M. Raut, the Chairman, and Smt. Vidya P. Raut, the Chief Executive Officer of institution. Both the pillars of the institution are recipients of the National Award for Teachers in the year 1994 and 2001 respectively from the President of India.
