While any educational institution will do justice to academics, education is an important tool for the economic, social and cultural development of any region or society. With this aim, the main objective of the college is to provide higher education facilities to the students of Mandangad taluka through social commitment. Our walk the extra mile to bring out the best in every student. The institution believes in creating an environment for holistic development of the students as well as a Society. Geographical and economical condition of the region is unfavorable. To preparing the students with core competencies to face the global challenges, the institute strives in making students understand and contribute to the socioeconomic development & welfare of the society. The institute is contributing to the development of the nation by capacity and character building of the students. The institute takes lead in serving the society and in inculcating those values in the minds of young generations and imbibing in them, the required qualities to make an honorable living in the society.  

Due to adverse geographical conditions, no development of agricultural business, nature of agriculture is subsistence, no development of industry, limited means of transport and communication all these aspects are affected the availability of employment in the region. As a result, the youth of this region is migrating toward metropolitan cities like Mumbai and Pune in search of employment. This has resulted in an increase in the dropout rate in higher education in the society. Parents were also forced by their circumstances to send their children to the metropolis of Mumbai Pune as Un-skilled laborers after passing 12^th  rather than pursuing higher education.

To prevent dropout of these students our college undertake initiatives as -

•   We all faculty members and some of the members of our Governing body making efforts to create awareness of higher education :

  Our faculty members undertake an activity “Reach to Unreach” during month of December and January in which faculty visit junior colleges of Mandangad tahsil and some of Dapoli tahsil to introduce the academic and extracurricular activities our college. Teachers guide to class 12^th students regarding various streams for career after 12^th Pass with PPP.  After declaration of State Board results our faculty collect a list of passed students and approach them to enroll in us.

  Mandangad Taluka having 109 villages, teachers visit each village and counseling the students as well as parents for higher education. Noticing the background of students, teachers provide financial assistance to at their personal level. The intension is that mere an economic condition should not be barrier for further education.  Teachers try to bring these needy students in to the main stream of education and preventing them from dropping out from further education. All these students have to use the public transport system. The college administration requests the Mandangad MSRTC depot Manager to provide buses on the required route for the students and change in bus timing as per need of our college students. Also, we make efforts to getting ST travel pass in our college.

  The college, being UGC affiliated   have a nominal fee structure. Faculty members are appointed through duly constituted selection committee by University of Mumbai which ensures high quality of teachers. Several students get scholarships from State Government, which further ensures better education of the economically challenged students.

  Best quality teaching to all sections of the society irrespective of religion, caste, creed and gender is our priority area.

   Environmental sustainable initiatives and lectures enable students to realize the importance of reusing and recycling. The students partake of these programmes to understand that each individual has an obligation to act for the community at large. This duty has to be performed so as to maintain the delicate balance between economy and ecosystems. The tree plantation drive also enabled the students to make a contribution to the environment by increasing the green cover.

   

  Our college honestly does efforts for versatile development of student personality. Appreciating the value of Leadership Skills to be developed in students, the College offers numerous opportunities to them. The Student Council is headed by students. They function under the supervision of Faculty heads, but freedom is given to them to come up with new ideas, explore new ways of performing an event, plan, organize, coordinate and deliver. This adds immense practical value to their characters.

• We also offer assistance to enroll our College students in Government Boys Hostel at Mandangad. College  recommend the names of needy students to enroll in the Government boys hostel located at Mandangad city.
