Gokhale Education Society

Founded in 1918 by late Principal T.A. Kulkarni, inspired by the great statesman and social reformer Namdar Gopal Krishna Gokhale.

Gokhale Education Society founded in 1918 by late Principal T.A. Kulkarni. He was inspired by the great statesman, social reformer, patriot Namdar Gopal Krishna Gokhale.

“Public life must be spiritualized. Love of country must so fill the heart that all else shall appear as of little moment by its side. A fervent patriotism which rejoices at every opportunity for the motherland, a dauntless heart which refuses to be turned back from its object by difficulty or danger, a deep faith in the purpose of providence which nothing can shake, equipped with these the worker must start on his mission and reverently seek the joy which comes of spending oneself in the service of one’s own country.”

NAMDAR GOPAL KRISHNA GOKHALE

A munificent donation received from the great philanthropist and visionary Shriman Hansraj Pragjee Thackersey helped to establish H.P.T Arts College. Change and modernization have been our watchwords. So when the need for a science college was felt, we established one in 1948 and developed it further in 1974 with the help of a generous donation for Shriman Raojisa Yamasa Kshatriya – a leading industrialist of Nashik.
