Gadhinglaj, Ajara and Chandgad Tahasils have many remote villages and the children in such area were not able to get education easily. In order to provide quality education to children in this hilly remote area, Hon. Babasaheb Kupekar formed this organization.

Here, we focus on qualitative growth of students more than quantitative. Faculty here always learns and improvise themselves with up to date information and knowledge. Group discussion, field visits, newspapers, media, internet etc. mediums are used in order to educate students.

Emphasis is given to nurture Discipline and Moral values in students.
