Institute History

Lack of education among majority of tribal resulted in ignorance and superstitions. Being poor they were forced to lead gypsy life migrating to industrial cities of Gujrath in search of jobs. They could not afford to send their children to cities for higher education. Realizing this need the educated Govt. Officers from tribal community, zealous tribal political leaders and generous merchant of Navapur came together and started Adivasi Seva Sahayyak and Shikshan Prasarak Sanstha’s Arts, Commerce College, from 15 july 1981 to make available the facilities of quality higher education to the poor SC, ST, OBC minority students of this region.
