Deccan Education Society’s Law College

Deccan Education Society is graced by the vision and glory of the founding fathers : Father of Indian Unrest and an astute lawyer Lokmanya Shri. Bal Gangadhar Tilak , the great social secular reformer Shri. Gopal Ganesh Agarkar, the doyen of Marathi literature, Shri. Vishnushastri Chiplunkar and a well-known social worker Shri. Mahadev Ballal Namjoshi. These young visionaries with nerves of steel and unwavering commitment towards the Indian masses gripped in the clutches of British rule, came together to give the people of India an educational Institute with the dream of a better future.

Their awareness of the pivotal role played by education in preparing the youth to become responsible and contributory citizens and their firm belief in ‘education is the lifeline of any developed country’ led them to the inception of Deccan Education Society.

The first step towards igniting the flame of knowledge and awakening the populace, was laying the foundation of the revolution called Deccan Education Society on the 24th October, 1884, which was also the auspicious day of Vijaya Dashami or "Dashehra". On the 13th August 1885 the Society was registered under The Societies Registration Act,1860.
