Today, I feel proud to write this message because I remember those days prior to 2008 when there was no college in Neral. Local students were running around for admission here and there. Vidya Mandir Mandal provided the home pitch access for colleges as it established Matoshree Sumati Chintamani Tipnis College of Arts and Commerce in Neral in 2008. This opening of degree colleges gave the opportunity to get access to higher and globalized education for all. The college is affiliated to the prestigious University of Mumbai.

We strive to maintain the best level of education and widen the horizon of every students so that once he leaves the portals of college he should be able to face the severe competition and challenges of outside world successfully.
