The college has invited NAAC peer team for the first time in 2004 and accrediated as C+. The recommendation of the first cycle NAAC peer team and the continuous assessment of the academic and administrative audit Panel helped us to provide better qualitative and contextualized education to the students. This year, we wish to approach the NAAC for second cycle of accreditation. Our attempt to approach the NAAC this time will be certainly helpful in our pursuit to attain academic excellence in the expansion of knowledge. About Mahatma Gandhi Vidyamandir: Mahatma Gandhi Vidyamandir, Malegaon camp, owes its existence to the inspiration, pioneering work and farsightedness of its founder member Honorable Late Karmaveer Bhausaheb Hiray, a staunch freedom fighter, one of the pioneers of forming Maharashtra State and Co-operative movement in Nashik District, an educationist and Ex-Revenue Minister of then Bombay province. He has founded two well- known educational institutions in Nashik District, namely “Adivasi Seva Samiti” in 1945 and “Mahatma Gandhi Vidyamandir” in 1952. The major objective of these institutions is to provide educational facilities to the masses from all the spheres urban, rural and tribal.

After the sad demise of Karmaveer Bhausaheb Hiray, on 6 th Nov 1961, his elder son Loknete Vyankatrao Hiray took over the responsibility of the institutions. Under his efforts and guidance Mahatma Gandhi Vidyamandir started other colleges imparting higher education in the faculties of Arts, Commerce, Science, Law, Pharmacy and Education at Malegaon and later at Manmad, Yeola, Nampur, Nashik, Surgana and Harsul. Today, Mahatma Gandhi Vidyamandir is progressing under the leadership of honorable Samajshri Prashantdada Hiray, General Secretary and former minister of State Transport. He has also established professional colleges such as Dental College and Hospital, extension of College of Pharmacy, Hotel Management and Catering Technology, Institution of Management and Research (MBA) etc, to widen the scope of career selection and to satisfy the growing demands for professional courses in urban areas.
