PREFACE A kind of socially-committed, gregarious, well-educated and philanthropic minds charged with the feelings of social responsibility, patriotism, humanitarianism, social welfare and compassion for the downtrodden led the foundation stone of the governing body of society named Shri Gajanan Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Yeldari Camp Tq. Jintur Dist. Parbhani on 01st May 1992. The visionary Board of Trustees of the Institution saw Sengaon was the right destination to serve the society as it was the sleepy new born tahsil of educationally backward, illiterate, hilly and tribal people. So they started Toshniwal Arts and Commerce College at Sengaon on 21st June 1993. Today’s grand, picturesque Toshniwal Arts, Commerce and Science College with natural surroundings had a humble beginning with a few rooms near the weekly bazaar of the Sengaon townlet, today comprised of 10,000 population. As most of the members are businessmen and the profit they had were happily used to develop the initial infrastructure of the college. Since the establishment the college has been a torch-bearer and a light house of education and social reform in the Sengaon taluka and its vicinity. The pure-minds behind these visionary efforts are Mr. Brijgopal Ramanarayan Toshniwal, Mr.Subhash Eksinge, Mr.U.M.Shelke, Mr. Govindprasad Toshniwal, Mr Sujitkumar Mundada,Mrs.Saroj Gattani and Mr. Bhimrao Wavhale. As per the saying from the scripture Katha Upnishad ( the 1.3.14 chapter ) B tkxzr izkI; ojkfUucks/kr “mfrW;” ” which means “ Arise! Awake! Approach the great and learn”, which is also the motto of our college, our college students take great advantage of the erudite teachers who never tire of teaching and guiding the students. The Arts faculty and the Commerce faculty had got 100 % grants in the academic years 1998-99 and 2003-04 respectively. However the visionary chairman of the institution regretted to see there was not a single quality educational institution for the science students across the taluka. Therefore he had started the science wing since the academic year 2009-10. It is proud to say that no other college in our district has a few subjects, other than regular subjects, like Fishery Science, Industrial Microbiology, Geology, Biotechnology and Industrial Chemistry. So the college now has become the place for the aspirant science students. Attending the contemporary immediate requirements and the future vision, the institution arranged 10 acres of the land in the lap of the nature including 03 acres for the playground. The institution has undertaken the massive task of building and developing a beautiful campus through its own resources. The development is still going on. As per the U.G.C. file no. F.5-17/ 2007 (XIth plan) the Hingoli, which is recognized as the educationally backward district in the country. In addition to that blot, Sengaon is the hilly and tribal taluka as per Maharashtra Government Circular. It has nearly 18.76% of S.C. and 6.67 of S.T. population and remaining are the agrarian, far away from education and modernity. Still our Institution and the Self Study Report for 2nd Cycle of Re-Accreditation Page 2 Toshniwal Arts, Commerce and Science College, Sengaon, Dist Hingoli (M.S.) energetic teachers tirelessly carry the light of education to the end of the society and the poorest of the poor. Feeling their honesty the students across the district enroll themselves in the college, like Hingoli (31 km ), Risod ( 25 km ), Jintur ( 30 km ) etc. The great faith the students and their parents show in the college give doubled vigour to do the sacred duty of spreading the light of education.
