THE COLLEGE

To hold light to those in darkness and extend support to the 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.

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 PG level.
