CEO's Message

"Education that Transforms Rural Aspirations into Global Competence"

It gives me immense satisfaction to note that Agricultural Development Trust's Shardabai Pawar Arts, Commerce & Science College, Shardanagar has emerged as a centre of higher learning that blends academic excellence with social responsibility. What began as a visionary response to the educational needs of girls from rural and drought-prone areas has now grown into a vibrant, co-educational institution with a strong reputation in academics, research, skill development and community engagement.

The Trust has always believed that education is the most powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty and vulnerability. Our college carries this belief forward by offering a spectrum of programmes in Arts, Commerce, Science, Home Science, Computer Science and vocational domains, along with postgraduate and doctoral opportunities. The recognition received in the form of NAAC 'A' Grade, DSIR-SIRO status, DBT-STAR scheme and various funding supports is a testimony to the collective efforts of our faculty, staff, students and stakeholders.

As industries and societies undergo rapid transformation driven by technology, sustainability concerns and global challenges, we are committed to providing an education that is future-ready and value-based. We emphasise experiential learning, research orientation, innovation, entrepreneurship, and close linkage with the farm, field and industry. Our aim is not only to educate students for employment, but also to nurture them as confident, compassionate and competent citizens who can contribute meaningfully at local, national and international levels.

I warmly welcome prospective students, parents, alumni and collaborators to be a part of this journey. Together, let us continue to strengthen this institution as a model of rural empowerment, academic quality and inclusive progress.

With best wishes,
Hon. CEO
