DESCRIPTION :

Bhiwandi Nizampur Nagarpalika College¸ Bhiwandi derives its nomenclature from the twin cities?Bhiwandi and Nizampur-also¸ as it was mainly financed by the then Nagarpalika (the Municipal Corporation); hence¸ it was named after the prime donor. This institution was founded by the social activists¸ educationists and political leaders of the 1960s. These leaders and social activists were heterogeneous¸ representing almost all castes and cadres of society. Padmashri Annasaheb Jadhav alias Pandurang Dharmaji Jadhav was the messiah of education in the educationally backward arena of Thane district who led the Adivasi dominated population towards educational and social betterment. B. N. N. College¸ Bhiwandi saw the light in the year 1966 with the Hyperion efforts of Padmashree Pandurang Dharmaji Jadhav¸ the founder president of Padmashri Annasaheb Jadhav Bharatiya Samaj Unnati Mandal¸ Bhiwandi¸ and his friends. This parent body was formerly known as ?Harijan Girijan Samaj Unnati Mandal¸ Bhiwandi?. This makes crystal clear that the institution was formed with its prime motto to cater education the socially deprived classes. After the death of Pandurang Dharmaji Jadhav¸ it was renamed by his friends and followers as ?Padmashri Annasaheb Jadhav Bharatiya Samaj Unnati Mandal¸ Bhiwandi? with an honest acknowledgement and a tribute to his educational and social work.
