Sarvodaya Vidyarthi Vasatigruh

(Boys Hostel), Rajur

सर्वोदय विद्यार्थी वसतिगृह, राजूर

Established in June 1950, Satyaniketan’s ‘Sarvodaya Vidyarthi Vasatigraha’ is one of the oldest Boys Hostels in Ahmednagar District. To provide residential accommodation to the boys coming from the various tribal regions of Ahmednagar and Nashik district, founder Secretary of ‘Satyaniketan’ Late R.V. Patankar had taken an immense effort for starting this hostel. Initially the hostel was started under Sarvodaya Scheme, later it was financed on Grant-in-aid basis by the Social Justice & Social Welfare Department of Maharashtra Government with the approved capacity of 66 students. ‘Satyaniketan’ has succeeded in encouraging and improving the socio-economic status of the poor and down-trodden tribal community of Akole by opening the doors of Learning.

The hostel is managed by the full-time Superintendent and the assistant staff. Free and nutritious meal is provided to the students. All facilities, as per government rules, are provided to the students. Admissions are given with proper procedure and norms. Once the student is admitted in the hostel, he has to strictly follow the ‘Schedule Table’ as well as the rules and regulations. The hostel administration has good communication with the parents. ‘All-round development with discipline’ is the main objective of the Hostel. Beside their academic improvement, the students are motivated to participate in different socio-cultural activities. Each child in the Hostel is well looked after and individual needs are taken care of by Hostel administration.

No doubt, ‘Satyaniketan’ succeeded in providing a ‘Home’ for rural and tribal students.
