Shirur Anantpal being a rural area, poor people lived there; and so they did not afford to provide education e; and so they did not afford to provide education to their children. Considering the need of the people, Late adv. Mane Vishwambharrao (Saheb), the founding President of the college, along with some other members, who had a good heap of knowledge of society and vision of education, established ‘Guru Vishwambhar Krupa Bahuuddeshiya Shikshan Prasarak Mandal’ in June 2000.
