About College

"Shikshan he Waghiniche dudh ahe, jo te prashan karel toh gurgurlya shivay rahanar nahi" ( "Education is like a tigress’s milk; only the brave can drink it." ) This revolutionary thought was articulated by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, the great social reformer who dedicated his life to fighting for the rights of the underprivileged. The legacy of visionaries like Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, and Mahatma Phule is carried forward with dedication by Shri Dadasaheb Gawai and Dr. Kamaltai Gawai, who laid the foundation of - Shri Dadasaheb Gawai Charitable Trust, Amravati. The Trust is committed to the upliftment of students, particularly those from underprivileged and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The Trust has established several educational institutions that serve a wide spectrum of academic and social needs. These include Educational and Technical Institutes, Teacher Training Institute, Pharmacy College, the Sanjeevani Health Centre, and an internationally recognized Vipassana (Meditation) Centre. The Trust aims at holistic personality development by offering platforms not only for academic growth but also for nurturing creativity, developing talents, instilling mindfulness through Vipassana, and cultivating a sense of social responsibility. Offering programs across diverse streams—Arts, Commerce, Science, H.S.C. Vocational, Management, and Computer Applications—the Trust is now regarded as one of the leading educational institutions in the Vidarbha region.
