DESCRIPTION :

The College is situated at Wardha¸ an otherwise insignificant district in Vidarbha¸ Maharashtra¸which owes its historical significance mainly to its association with the names of Mahatma Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave. After Independence¸the rural areas of this district¸ as everywhere in the country¸ were educationally far backward.Inspired by the teachings of the two great souls¸ Late Bapuraoji Deshmukh¸ the Founder President of this institution¸devoted himself to the cause of spreading education among the masses; for which he founded the Yeshwant Rural Education Society¸Wardha in 1959 and began to open schools and colleges at the villages and towns in the district.

On 20th June¸ 1960¸ Yeshwant Mahavidyalaya¸Wardha was the first college to be established by this society. The inauguration of the college took place on 8th September¸ 1960¸ at the hands of Late Yeshwantrao Chavan¸the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Affiliated to RTM Nagpur University¸ Nagpur¸it has maintained its reputation as one of the best and oldest colleges in the region;which is evident from the B++ Grade it received in its recent NAAC Accreditation. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the Faculties of Arts¸ Commerce¸ Science¸ Home Science and Law. Several academic¸ cultural¸NCC¸NSS¸Sports and Extension activities are regularly conducted for the all-round developement of the personalities of the students.
