Abstract [English]

The Maratha leaders analyzed the need to educate their people in order to eradicate superstitious practices and to  improve community social life and behaviour. They first started a Gymnastic schools to create awareness among the people regarding physical wellbeing. Further it was the Diwan Annasaheb Latthe, who inspired and guided these leaders to establish an education institution. Thus with the strong determination of some enthusiastic leaders, on 3rd January, 1931 Maratha Mandal Education Society was established under the president ship of Laxman Hoovappa Rane. Later, in order to teach basic reading and writing to illiterate youths, the Maratha Education Society started a night school from 7th May, 1934 at Kamath Galli in Belagavi. The institute intended not only to make them literate but also to create consciousness among the youths regarding the social evil practices and to create awareness about social and political reforms. Further, from 29th September, 1935, the night school got converted into normal school. And finally an English Medium School was started in Kanpur in June 1940 in order to impart education to the rural children.


In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the historical development of the Maratha Mandal Education Society and to assess its contributions. The scope of the study is restricted to the history an establishment of  Maratha Mandal and its educational institutions
