Shiksha Mandal was founded in 1914 by Shri Jamnalal Bajaj and Shri Shrikrishnadas Jajoo - close associates of Mahatma Gandhi. The institution has always exemplified value based, quality education. Since its very inception the institution was inspired by nationalist thoughts and ideologies. It has been visited by almost all national leaders of the freedom movement, including Mahatma Gandhi, Shri Sardar Patel, and many others. Some of its students and faculties were involved in the Quit India movement and because of that its buildings were seized by the British, for a few months. In the silver jubilee year, a National Education Conference was organized under the Chairmanship of Mahatma Gandhi, who envisaged, and provided a framework for the new education system for India. It has been a pioneer in the field of higher education in Central India, with a student strength of approximately 10,000 and a faculty of 450.
