The Man. The Mission. The Movement.
Rooted in the visionary work of Sahakar Maharshi Late Shri Annasaheb P. K. Patil — serving the tribal and agrarian communities of Nandurbar for over 55 years through education, healthcare, and cooperative enterprise.
Born into a marginalized peasant family in Lonkheda village, Shahada, Annasaheb pursued formal higher education at the prestigious M. S. University in Baroda. He returned with an unyielding commitment to uplift the tribal and agrarian populations of Nandurbar through cooperative enterprise and accessible education — transforming a region through sheer institutional will.
The mission that our Founder began in the fields of Lonkheda, through the corridors of cooperative factories, and into the classrooms of our colleges, remains our unbreakable commitment. Every farmer who donates during a family milestone, every student who graduates from our campuses, every patient who receives care at our health camps — they are the living proof that rural communities deserve and can achieve world-class excellence. We continue this work, and we invite you to be part of it.
A 55-year network of institutions rooted in one unified purpose: empowering the rural and tribal communities of North-West Maharashtra.
Healthcare interventions, women's empowerment, disaster relief, and community welfare — the Foundation's work extends far beyond the classroom into every dimension of rural life.

In 1989, Late Smt. Kamaltai Patil — who served as the Honorary Secretary of PSGVPM — led a landmark parityakta (deserted women) movement alongside activists Indumati Patankar and Manda Savant. This militant campaign fought for government-allocated housing plots for deserted, landless, and predominantly Dalit and Bahujan women in Bahe and Shahada.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foundation and College of Pharmacy expanded community outreach into rural disease awareness and direct material relief — working across villages, SHGs, and gram panchayats throughout Nandurbar district. The effort was formally recognized.
Every October 9th — the Founder's birth anniversary — becomes a convergence of agrarian celebration, academic discourse, and national recognition of excellence.

For decades, Nandurbar's farming families have donated during their most joyful personal milestones — weddings, housewarmings, religious events — trusting this Foundation to convert their generosity into rural transformation.
In Nandurbar's farming communities, trust is the most valuable currency. Families from all backgrounds donate to this Foundation not because they are asked, but because the institution has earned their unconditional faith over generations. If marginalized farmers trust this Foundation with their personal wealth, global philanthropists can certainly trust it with institutional grants.
