Prof. Shri Laxmanrao Dhobale who with his foresighted vision decided to change drastically the whole region - economically, socially and culturally through education. Rightly the event was the establishment of shahu shikshan sanstha, on 10th June 1980, seed in educational development as the root of all further coming social and cultural ethos. The innovation was establishment of free library in 1980, leading today to multi-faceted educational institution canvassing K. G. to P. G. education, educating about 5000 students with 450 staff.
