A Regional Milestone

Marking a historic moment in the Marathwada region as its very first night college, the institution was established as a private, non-aided entity. Starting with a modest enrollment of just 41 students, it proudly affiliated with Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University, Nanded.

The Visionary

Shri. Dhanrajji Joshi

The college was spearheaded by the visionary Shri. Dhanrajji Joshi. He recognized a pressing societal need: providing high-quality educational opportunities to determined individuals who were previously deprived of higher education due to their strict daytime employment obligations.

Campus & Culture

Inclusivity & Growth

Located in the heart of Latur city, the spacious campus provides an ideal environment for growth. The college strongly advocates for gender inclusivity, a commitment clearly reflected in the remarkable number of female students and our dedication to equal opportunities for all.

Evolution

Academic Expansion

Continually evolving to meet student needs, the college expanded its offerings beyond the core B.Com program. We successfully introduced a specialized Diploma Course in Taxation & Law, alongside a flexible Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) distance program offering five distinct optional subjects.

Present Day

Beyond Boundaries

Today, we extend our expertise into postgraduate studies, offering a Master of Arts (M.A.) in 11 subjects via distance mode and a comprehensive Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.). We remain deeply committed to shaping the educational landscape and empowering the professionals of tomorrow.

Our Guiding Light

Shri. Dhanrajji Joshi

The inception of this institution was born not just from a desire to teach, but from a profound empathy for the working class. Shri. Dhanrajji Joshi possessed a visionary understanding of the struggles faced by determined individuals.

He recognized a pressing societal gap: countless brilliant minds were being deprived of higher education simply because their daytime hours were consumed by employment obligations. By establishing the very first night college in the Marathwada region, he didn't just build a school; he built a bridge to a better future for thousands of working professionals.
