          Jalgaon is the center of Higher Education in North Maharashtra University region, and North Maharashtra University has enhanced the educational facilities since 1989. Apart from the traditional trio of faculties - Arts, Commerce and Science, it offers degree level and Postgraduate level programmes in the areas of Computer Science, Management Studies, Information Technology, Chemical Sciences etc. As a result, students from the surrounding area seek educational opportunities in Jalgaon. It is a bitter experience that most of these students deserve the admissions but they cannot join the courses because of their weak financial condition. They cannot cope up with the increasing tuition fee, lodging and boarding charges. They are deprived of higher education.

 

         Fortunately, the sympathisers took the leading role of helping the poor students for bright career. One amongst them volunteered to offer his own residential flat as a boarding house for needy students without expecting anything in return. Another one shouldered the responsibility of Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil for "Rayat Shikshan Sanstha", Satara for the upliftment of the poor.  Whatever was possible, was done to the best and the new institution commenced as "Vidyarthi Sahayyak Samiti" in Jalgaon.

 

          In the beginning, the accommodation of only five students was done on the need and merit basis, in a rented flat near 'Girna Taki'. They were advised to follow 'Earn-and-Learn Scheme'. They all were coming from rural areas, lived in poverty so they did any type of hard labour.

 

         Many great responsibilities came forward to help these learners. Even the daily wage workers are contributing them for example - Auto Rickshaw Drivers, Hawkers, Barbers by donating one rupee per day. All the household utensils are provided by nearby neighbours and Gurudwara, Jalgaon. The donors Celebrate Birthdays, Death Anniversaries amongst these students. Everyone is trying to share the part of their income for the welfare of the Samiti.

 

          Now-a-days, it has been realized that hundreds of students are deprived of such opportunities. So it is proposed to provide accommodation to atleast 100 boys students and 100 girls students. Accordingly, Jalgaon Municipality has boosted the Samiti by allotting 55000 sq.ft. area in City Survey No. 148, so the helping hands for construction are needed. At present, it is a two-storied building with 16 rooms and amenities. The amenities like Parking Area, Dining, Kitchen, Sports Room, Recreation Hall, Earn and Learn Units Office etc. The intake capacity of the Hostel is now of 50 students and likely to be extended for 100 students in near future.

 

          It is propsoed to establish library on 18000 sq.ft. area, consisting Library Hall with 1000 sq.ft. area and Reading as well as Conference Hall with 800 sq.ft. area.
