History & Achievements

Talere Panchkroshi Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Mumbai was established with the purpose to create the education facility as per Govt. policies from pre-primary to college level in Konkan and other places in State of Maharashtra. Similarly Mandal intends to work in the field of technical education, vocational education and guidance to economically and socially backward class people. Talere Panchkroshi Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Mumbai is educational trust registered in 1977 and which is presently running Vamanrao Mahadik Secondary School & Junior College of Arts, Commerce & Science at Talere, Taluka Kanakavli in Sindhudurg District of Maharashtra.

Establishment of Trust :

This institution was formed in the year 1977 under the leadership of Shri S. T. alias Dada Jathar and Shivsena leader and the then Mayor of Mumbai Shri Vamanrao Mahadik alias Appa by the people of villages in the Panchkroshi comprising of Talere, Ozram, Darum, Shidavane, Gavane, Burambavade, Vaghivre, Saliste & Vargaon. Late Vamanrao Mahadik and lateTulaji Surve were appointed as Executive President and as President respectively of the trust.

Establishment of Secondary School :

After a lot of technical hurdles, ultimately the permission for Secondary School at Talere was granted on 7th of June 1978 by Late Vasantdada Patil, the then Chief Minister and Dr. Baliram Hire, the then Education Minister on the insistence of Shivsena Chief Late Balasaheb Thakre.  The School was started in only 2 class room structure of Shri Gokhale – Mirashi which was given free of cost.

Land Donation:

Even though the Secondary School was started temporarily it was decided by the people of Panchkroshi to have their own school building to accommodate future growth of the school.  With the help of kind hearted people from families of Talekar, Ghadi, Dhekne, Mahadik, Khatavkar, Varunkar etc. who donated 9 Acres and 7 Gunthas land at Talere to Mandal (trust) to establish Mandal’s own school building.

Levelling of Land:

The donated land was a part of a hill and therefore proper leveling and terracing was needed prior to undertaking any construction.  With the help of Late Shyamkumarji Shrivastav (Industrialist) through his company ‘New India Mining Corporation Pvt. Ltd.’ at free of cost. The land was leveled and terraced so as the construction of the proposed school building could take place.

School Building:

Architect Shri Ulhas Rane of Mumbai prepared design for proposed school building consisting of 11 class rooms, Laboratory, Library and office all comprising of 10,000.00 Sq.ft. area.  The Bhumi Poojan of new school building was done by Late Vamanrao Mahadik on 22nd of December 1978.  The School building as well as Hostel building and toilet blocks were constructed in stages.  Even though there were class rooms for 5th to 10th standards and 2 class rooms each for Arts, Commerce & Science divisions of Jr. College, the requirement of class rooms was still short.  Institute could not construct additional 2 class rooms which were needed  due to paucity of funds.

 With the timely help of then Central Minister Shri Suresh Prabhu and Member of Parliament Late Eknathji Thakoor, Library building was constructed through their funds.

 Similarly, two toilets for boys & girls were constructed through the funds of Member of Parliament Shri Vinayak Raut.

Talere Panchkroshi Vidyarthi Vasatigriha (Hostel):

 During 1984, 1985 & 1986, respectively 5th standard, 6th standard and 7th standard class rooms were added.  Therefore from 1978 to 1986, 5th standard class to 10th standard class school started operating.

 This Model College has already started in part from 2014-15 and up-till now from year 2014-15, B.M.S., B.Sc. (IT) and from 2015-16 B.M.M., from 201617 B.A.F., from 2017-18 B.B.I. and from 2019-20 B.A. faculties classes have already started.  Due to this facility, now the education for B.Sc.

 In this Model College self employment generation education is to be imparted with well equipped Laboratories, Libraries, Tutorials, Restaurants, Hostels, Medical facilities, Seminar Halls, Auditoriums, sports facilities, students support cell and staff quarters.  This Model College is getting funding from University Grant Commission/Rusa of Central Govt. and Govt. of Maharashtra.  Therefore not only Talere Panchkroshi but entire Sindhudurg and Ratnagiri Districts people will get advantage of this model college in future.

Building Repairs and Maintenance:

The existing building of Mandal is quite old i.e. of more than 40 years old and therefore requires periodical repairs and mentainence.  Up-till now Mandal has spent more than Rs.5,00,000/-  lakhs approximately besides Rs.1 Lakh donated by Dr. Madhusudan Desai for repairs and maintenance of the building.  Now time has come for reconstruction of School building instead of carrying out repairs from time to time.

Reconstruction of College Building:

Mandal is imparting Higher Primary, Secondary, Higher Secondary Education to poor students of backward area of Talere, Sindhudurga for so many years.  Now Mandal is thinking of imparting Professional, Technical Education to these students in order to create self employment amongst these students.

Mandal has already worked out Reconstruction Scheme for existing old School Building with brand new amenities and facilities.  The cost of construction along with cost of furniture, infrastructure development and landscaping is estimated at Rs.14,38,29,640/- on the basis of Project Report prepared by Mandal’s Architect. The proposed scheme consists of total 40 Class Rooms, Exhibition / Drawing Hall, Multipurpose Hall, Caretaker’s Room, Canteen, Workshop, Store Room, Laboratories, separate Gym for boys & girls, Library, Computer Laboratory, Language Room, Principal’s Office, Admin. Office, Conference Room, separate Teacher’s Room for ladies & gents, Mandal’s Office, 5 staircase blocks with one lift and 4 washrooms on each floor.

It is proposed to construct the Complex in two phases.  Cost of Phase-I is estimated at Rs.4,82,62,500/- and Phase-II is estimated at Rs.9,55,67,140/-. The Phase-I is independent structure to be constructed without removing existing building.  Therefore care has been taken that the existing activities are not disturbed during reconstruction of Phase-I portion.  Phase-II can be taken up only after shifting of existing College in new reconstructed building of Phase-I.

The Mandal is expecting to raise the necessary funding through loan from Banks or private financial institutions, through Company’s Social Responsibility (CSR) Scheme, through NRI funds.  Similarly Mandal is expecting donations from generous public and also to raise money by giving names of donors to the class rooms and other rooms.  The complete Project Report along-with Phasewise Block Estimate and Plans with Perspective View are ready.

The Mandal is confident of bringing this ambitious project in reality with the help of Talere Panchkroshi people, Education lovers and Generous donors along-with all the members & workers of Mandal.

Appeal for Donation:

The Mandal was established by Late Vamanrao Mahadik with the co-operation and help of Talere Panchkroshi people and the members and workers of Mandal.  After the sad demise of Shri Vamanrao, his son Late Chandrashekhar and daughter Late Devyani Parab lead the Mandal.  The Mandal has been carrying out all the activities very efficiently since inception in the year 1977.

We therefore appeal with folded hands to you all to donate liberally for this noble cause of education.
