About Krishi Vigyan Kendra Palghar

On the 19th February 1918, the Death Anniversary Day of Late Shri. Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Shri. T. A. Kulkarni, the Principal and Proprietor of the New English School, Mumbai had the perpetuating the memory of Shri. Gopal Krishna Gokhale, by forming an educational society. Some of his colleagues gave him an assurance that they would join him in his efforts to form such a society. In April, he gave tangible shape to the idea and formed a society and named it as "Gokhale Education Society". The society has completed 75 years of its existence. The society is functioning under the leadership of Principal Shri. S. B. Pandit as Chairman and Dr. M. S. Gosavi, the eminent educationalist and Management Expert as the Secretary.

The Society was founded in 1920, a secondary school adjacent to seaside village Bordi in Thane district. Here, a tiny band of workers devoted their time to education under the leadership of Late Shri. Acharya Bhise, earned a unique place in the field of national education. Besides, the institution produced dedicated social workers, who also participated in the National struggle for freedom.

After the independence of the Nation, the organizers felt the strong urge to work for the upliftment of weaker sections, more particularly the tribals whose population in Thane district was more than half a million. Since agriculture is the main occupation of the tribals, they thought of improving tribal agriculture by starting a Center where research, extension, training and education could be started.
