About Shikshan Prasark Mandal

The Shikshan Prasark Mandal is one of the premier educational societies in Solapur district that runs pre-primary, primary, secondary, higher secondary and higher educational institutions at Mangalwedha, Velapur, Bhose, Begampur, Ambe Chincholi, Narkhed in four Talukas of Solapur District.

The founder of the institution, late Dalit Mitra Kadam Guruji, was a man of the masses who devoted all his mind and heart to the cause of their education. He had an incisive understanding of the social ills that beset his times and fully realized the dire need of the spread of education. He believed that education alone could correct the social ills such as caste-hierarchy, money-lending, illiteracy, untouchability, superstitions and social and economic inequality. Throughout his life he tried to translate this belief into reality. He realized that the social ills could be remedied through the education of the masses alone and laid the foundation of the Shikshan Prasark Mandal by opening a school in cremation ground at Mangalwedha in 1962.
