The ground floor is intended to be used for library, principal's;s room, teacher's room and some other infrastructural needs, as per the University requirements.
In the year 1974-75 new patter of 10+2 education was introduced. With increased demand for the +2 classes and for the convenience primarily of our own students passing 10th, Mandal decided to start junior college for the Arts stream in the year 1983-84. A generous donation from shri-Dattaram Shankar Natekar, in the memory of his son, Shri Nandu Natekar, helped start the Junior College for Arts.
We were unable to start commerce and science streams simultaneously, due to paucity of funds. A generous donation of Rs. seven Lac from Shri Rameshji Keer helped start the science stream. The science stream was started in 2008, with well equipped laboratories.
The Commerce stream was stared in year 2007. We received a commitment for a generous donation of Rs. eight Lac from Shri Shashank Gandhi, son of late Vijayalaxmi and Shrikrishan Gandhi, for naming the Commerce Junior College in the memory of his mother and father.
