Our Inspiration

Karmveer Dr. Mamasaheb Jagadale was a sage, saint and a saviour of the people of the lower strata of the society, and founder of  Shri Shivaji Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Barsi. Dr. Mamasaheb enlivened, enkindled and inspired rural population of Maharashtra in general and of Solapur and Osmanabad Districts in particular. Our Alma mater came into being at the instance of the prolonged efforts tenacity of purpose and the burning aspiration of Karmveer Mamasaheb.

Mama was unrivalled, unequalled and unparalleled in the domain of the spreading of education and learning among the weaker sections of the society. Among the glittering multitudes of mighty educationalists the name of Karmaveer Jagadale Mama stood forth in bold relief as the author of momentous educational and erudite revival, Mama stood as a beacon to light up the path of those who groped in the darkness of ignorance and poverty in the fields of Education as well as medicine and surgery.
Karmaveer Dr.Mamasaheb Jagadale has struggled for the betterment of the downtrodden masses up-to his last breath. He received inspiration and serious thought from the able minds of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Mahatma Phule, Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj, Maharshi V.R. Shinde, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar, Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil and others.
Karmaveer Dr. Mamasaheb Jagadale was born on 4th February 1903 at Bhikar Sarola (Dist.Osmanabad). He had completed his education up-to Matriculation and had aspirations for higher education, but due to lack of financial and educational facilities he could not complete university education. The unsatisfied desire of higher education, led him to start educational institution which is known as "Shri Shivaji Shikshan Prasarak Mandal Barsi". He developed this institution with his selfless service and even by sacrificing his own married life which proved his name, 'NIVRUTTI' in the real sense of the term.
He struggled for welfare of women, untouchables and neglected sections of the society. Credit of today's betterment of social, educational, and cultural situation in this region goes to Dr. Mamasaheb Jagadale. For his humanitarian outlook and outstanding work, Marathwada University, Aurangabad and Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri awarded him D.Lit. and D.Sc. respectively.
After serving day and night for almost five to six decades, Karmaveer Mamasaheb realised the urgent need of Medical Services for people from poor classes. The main aim was to provide utmost care and high quality medical services at reasonable rates to the needy and the poor people.
In 1975 on February 4th, Karmveer Mamasaheb started "Arogya Mandir" Hospital with 10 beds and small surgical unit. Because of his total dedication, devotion and determination, this hospital developed very fast and the different wings started adding their medical contribution with high standard medical services to the poor.
He passed away on 30th May 1981 leaving behind us the legacy of social work. He is now our inspiration and spark plug to fulfill his thoughts and ambitions.
