D. K. Shinde College of Education, Gadhinglaj

Information about Institution

          Dr. A. D. Shinde, Director & Managing Trustee of the SIBER Institute has established this college in the name of his father Mr. Dinkarrao K. Shinde, the then educationist and social reformer of his time. Late Dinkarrao K. Shinde was born in 4th Oct. 1901. He has passed his vernacular final and stood first in Karveer Sansthan.

          Mr. D. K. Shinde was known as Dinkar Master as he has done a lot for backward community, established a school for them in Kasba Nool nearby Gadhinglaj at the age of nineteenth. The quotation by him is apt. “I am a teacher, and the teacher doesn’t build the houses but build the personality of students.”

          Being a well known educationist he has established Shivaji Boarding in Gadhinglaj for the students who were far away from Gadhinglaj and made food and other facilities available.

          He has done a lot for untouchable, opened the doors of temple, established post office, bazaar, roads pools, free medical check up, justice for poor established a co-operative society for the upliftment of poor.

          Such a multidimensional personality died in 4th Oct. 1960. So the name given to this college is apt and significant.
