Shri Ganeshdas Rathi Chhatralaya Samitee, the parent body of the college, was founded in the year 1950 with a generous grant of Rs. 50,000/-by Shri Rai Bahadur Ganeshdasji Rathi, a good Samaritan to provide hostel facility
for students from rural areas. The society has a noble mission of removal of the ignorance from the minds of the people by providing them education and nourishing them with selfless work, enlightening learning and compassionate
service to humanity. This mission of nourishing the spirit of our ignited minds percolates each and every activity run by the society thereby reflecting effective leadership and humanitarian approach in governance.
One of the objectives of the Society is to provide affordable, inclusive education to students across rural and semi-urban regions, minimizing disparities in opportunity and infrastructure. Keeping this in mind, the Samitee
felt the need for establishing different educational institutions in Amravati city as well as in the rural areas .This dream of the Society got materialized with the establishment of various Schools and Colleges. From humble
beginnings to the present day, our Society has traversed a path marked by milestones of achievements. The sapling, which was planted seven and half decades ago, has blossomed into a full-grown tree. Today we have total
20 Educational Institutions providing education from K.G.to P.G.and even Ph.D.to the students from diverse backgrounds, empowering them to achieve their full potential.

continued with the establishment of Darapur High School, Darapur, and Shri Tansukhdas Rathi Vidyalaya, Varha, in 1958, and Shri Premkishor Sikchi Vidyalaya in 1959. The 1960s saw the founding of Smt Kesharbai Lahoti Mahavidyalaya,
Shri Badrinarayan Balak Mandir, and Shri Gopikishan Rathi Adarsh Primary School in 1960 and 1969. The society further diversified its offerings with the establishment of junior colleges, including Smt Kesharbai Lahoti Junior

to providing quality education
These institutions were founded at such a point of time when thinking of higher education was like asking for the moon especially for the masses, as there were very few educational institutes imparting higher education. The
Society being an iota in the vast ocean of Education has definitely been contributing its mite towards the attainment of quality and excellence. Recently, the Society has been recognized as Marwari Linguistic Minority Educational
Society by the Government of Maharashtra Through its growth and development, the Ganeshdas Rathi Education Society remains dedicated to its mission of delivering quality education and shaping the minds of future generations.
