Mahatma Gandhi Vidyamandir, our mother educational institution, popularly known as M.G.V., was established in 1952 with the sublime objective of serving the masses by spreading education among them. It was founded by Late Karmveer Bhausaheb Hiray, a staunch freedom fighter, pioneer of the Sanyukta Maharashtra Movement, visionary educationist, and Ex-Revenue Minister of the then Bombay Province.
Being prophetic educationist, Bhausaheb Hiray did not complacently stop his educational work with the establishment of Primary as well as Secondary schools but he started a Senior college, Maharaja Sayajirao Gaikwad Arts, Science and Commerce College at Malegaon in 1959. The College brightened the educational prospects of the town by bringing the Ganga of education at the threshold of the poor farmers' children, rural backward, Muslim and women students in particular. The College itself proved to be very vital to bring the drastic changes in the educational, social and cultural segments of the society. The college vents out the floodgates of higher education prospects to the rural students.
After the sad demise of Karmveer Bhausaheb Hiray on Nov. 06,1961, his elder son Loknete Vyankatraoji Hiray took over the charge of the institution. Being a dynamic and powerful personality with great determination, vision and quick action he deftly and consecutively devoted his energies in spreading higher education among all. After his unfortunate and untimely demise in 1980, his wife, a sincere social worker, Smt. Pushpatai Hiray devoted her life for the survival and maintenance of the institution. In this period of great crisis, Samajshri Dr. Prashant Hiray, a man of modern thoughts is carrying the institution with great enthusiasm. Because of his courageous decision in the educational field, with farsightedness the institution has made its progress and ready to compete with the modern world.
Presently 225 Educational Units from Primary to Post graduate and ranking research centers from traditional education to current disciplines such as Computer Management,Health Sciences,Agriculture Pharmacy, Hotel Management Etc. are being managed by the Trust.Presently 225 Educational Units from Primary to Post graduate and ranking research centers from traditional education to current disciplines such as Computer Management,Health Sciences,Agriculture Pharmacy, Hotel Management Etc. are being managed by the Trust.
