Welcome Message from Principal
Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Arts & Commerce (Evening) CollegeWarm Greetings to All Students, Parents, and Visitors,
Welcome to Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Arts & Commerce (Evening) College, Nagpur. Our institution stands proudly on the foundational vision and principles of the visionary educational social reformer, Bhausaheb Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh, and carries forward the dedicated mission of our founder president, Late Shri M. D. Mundafale, to democratize quality higher education.
Established in 1984 under the guidance of Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Memorial Education Society, Nagpur, our college fulfills a crucial socio-economic need in Central Nagpur. We are specifically dedicated to catering to working-class youth, economically underprivileged students, and individuals who are employed during daytime hours but aspire to pursue quality undergraduate and postgraduate education.
By offering evening degree programs in Arts (B.A.) and Commerce (B.Com. & M.Com.) affiliated with Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU), we enable our students to seamlessly balance their professional commitments with academic excellence. Our aim is not merely academic instruction, but holistic personality development, ethical values, and skill acquisition to make every graduate self-reliant and socially responsible.
Under the leadership of our Working President, Honorable Smt. Rajashree M. Mundafale, and our dedicated team of faculty and staff, the institution continues to implement the National Education Policy (NEP) guidelines, modernize learning resources, and strengthen IQAC quality initiatives.
"Education is the most powerful tool for social empowerment and self-reliance. Our evening institution bridges the gap between employment and higher education, ensuring no deserving student is left behind."
I invite all prospective students and community members to explore our academic offerings and become a part of our vibrant educational journey.
