It’s my great pleasure that I could establish school and college on behalf of this Trust and other activities on a barren land in rural area. 26 acres land was purchased in year 1980 for developing educational institute after considering the need of rural students. There were no educational facilities available in earlier period in Khed village situated at the end corner of Ahmednagaer District. Students had to go nearby towns like Baramati or Karjat about 40 kilometers away from this village. Road and transport facilities were very poor. Very few students could afford to get higher education. Rich and Poor girl students left behind. There was a persisting demand of senior college for higher education. Indian Institute for Social Development and Research is registered Charitable trust. This Institute had established Rashtrapita Mahatma Gandhi Mahavidyalaya Khed in the year 2001 after establishing High school in 1984 and Junior College. The college is located at the bank of Bheema River. The activities of Rashtrapita Mahatma Gandhi Mahavidyalaya are conducted through its parent institute IISDR, Pune with an objective to provide quality education.
The College currently provides graduate course in B.A. degree of Savitribai Phule Pune University. Along with Seven certificate courses like Fish farming, Nursery Technique, Mushroom cultivation etc. for making the students self employed and to Develop skilled manpower for industries and farming. The College achieved incredible progress in a very short span of time and today we have established our identity as one of the premier educational institute in rural area of Karjat Tehsil, Dist -Ahemadnagar. The college has excellent infrastructure and we keep on upgrading it. The College has lush green and eco-friendly campus. The College has excellent amenities like well-equipped central library, internet facility, auditorium, seminar hall, canteen for the students and hostel for needy students. The College always endeavours to meet the growing needs of higher education by adopting new technologies, providing resources by developing positive attitude. The College continuously strives to provide the fine environment for learning, research, innovation and character building.

I welcome students to this inspiring environment and appeal them to acquire this opportunity and to live their wonderful college life merrily. Our faculties ensure that students gain not only technical knowledge but also holistic knowledge and skills that will equip them to face the realities of the world around. The College strongly believes in personality development through individual counselling and guidance. Faculty-members are keen to monitor student progress very closely as a friend, philosopher and guide. They always motivate students to participate in academic, research, sports and cultural pursuits. There is a close bond between the faculty and student community. The College emphasis that our faculty should continuously upgrade themselves to provide direction for future teaching-learning innovations. I wish grand success to both students and staff of Rashtrapita Mahatma Gandhi Mahavidyalaya, Khed.

The college has provided well-equipped infrastructural facilities for effective and efficient conduct of educational programs. Proper environment is provided for curricular, co-curricular and administrative activities. Our aim is to create student friendly ambiance so that they can adopt the environment of outside world and prove their mettle competitively.
