Shri S.H. Naik College of Education, Navapur was established in 1981.

Its managed under Adivasi Seva Sahayyak & Shikshan Prasarak Sanstha.

The Government has started various schemes for Adivasi people but due to their illiteracy, other people became the beneficiaries of it.

Then some of the literate personalities and politicians decided to break up the cage of poverty, illiteracy and superstitions, they realized the need of Education.

This reason crystallized itself in the establishment of ‘Adivasi Seva Sahayyak Sanstha’ in 1974.

In the very beginning the aim of this Sanstha was to acquaint the people with various funds and plans of Government and it was continued up to 1980. Navapur is situated in the tribal region; the facility of higher education was not available in such place.

The Sanstha realized this problem and at first started ‘Arts and Commerce College’ in 1981.

The science faculty was started in ‘Arts and Commerce College in 1990.

The Sanstha also realized another need for starting professional courses, like D.Ed., B.Ed. in Navapur.

The sanstha has a campus of 17 acres. Shri S.H. Naik College of Education is also recognized by National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), Bhopal.
