  ‘ There is no other alternative but education for social change ’  the thought was pursued by the great  visionary, Educationist, Philanthropist, ‘Dalit Mitra’, Ex-Minister Maharashtra State , Late Hon.Smt.Yashodharaji Bajaj who deserves the due homage of immortals for she lives and reigns in the hearts of many through her service by education. She firmly believed that unless the channels of education, from pre-primary to higher level, are opened, the light of knowledge will not reach the doors of the rural masses. She was the builders of a new possibility that never existed before, working with imagination, insight, and boldness.

She founded Sarvodaya Mahila Mandal Educational Trust in the year 1953 with a vision to offer quality based education to those who were deprived due to poverty, social status and many other such factors. She was committed to bring equality of opportunity despite a student coming from rural background. She has been the eye opener for many who lived in the darkness of illiteracy. Her ardent desire was to give back to the society that nurtured her. She offered quality education at an affordable cost and to be accessible to the ones who come from poor background. This noble cause has given birth to many educational institutions from Pre-primary to Graduation level. Her boldness to venture into difficult path made her to sacrifice a lot but at last gained the shield of satisfaction and honour.

Our founder has got more than five decades of experience in the field of education. Her experience along with her patience helped her towards perfection in all her endeavours. She has received many awards not only for the act of education but also for the fact of being an Educationist, Philanthropist and social worker. She herself had introduced scholarships and fee waiver schemes to the students who excelled in their studies.

She was indeed like a lighthouse to those who were scattered in the sea of illiteracy. She has ignited many young minds with education and moral values. These will be ignited forever by everyone who joins here.
