Our Journey

After the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, the then government of Mumbai initiated the 'Sarvodaya' scheme for the development of tribal communities and entrusted the responsibility of North Khandesh to Dhana Nanavare. He selected villages with tribal settlements and started schools in some places. After Dhana Nanavare's assassination, Madhukarrao Chaudhari and Bhausaheb Bonde took over the responsibility and established the 'Gaurkheda Panchkroshi Rachnatmak Karyakari Sahakari Mandal' using their own funds.

In 1954, they started an ashram school in Pal, which opened up opportunities for tribal students to receive education in their own surroundings, leading to the gradual spread of education and the orientation of the tribal society towards education. In 1970, the Gaurkheda organization transformed into the Satpuda Vikas Mandal, Pal, with Sunilbhai Bonde serving as the secretary.

Subsequently, Shri. Shirishdada Chaudhari emphasized modernity and quality in education. For this purpose, teachers were trained, and various programs were conducted for students, including competitions and computer education. The excellent program gradually started in 1998. The organization's chairman, Shri. Shirishdada, and secretary, Ajit Patil, have been consistently making efforts to ensure the best possible education for tribal students.
