It gives me an immense pleasure to be the secretary of Sant Dnyaneshwar Shikshan Sanstha, Islampur. It is one of the renowned institutions offering good and quality education through forty-two branches ( 5 colleges and 37 schools) in the western region of Maharashtra state. Hon. Shri. Annasaheb Dange Arts, Commerce and Science College located at rural place- Hatkanangale is one more esteemed branch of our Sant Dnyaneshwar Shikshan Sanstha that offers skill-based and value adding education since its establishment in 1998. I feel proud that the college is reaching the pinnacle of quality under the guidance and continuous efforts of the Principals (Former and Present), IQAC coordinators (Former and Present), Physical Director, teaching staff and non-teaching staff. Representation of faculty members in the BoS and Academic Council of Shivaji University, Faculty working as research guide, representation of faculty in the National Parade Camp at Delhi, participation of students in international sports and games at Uzbekistan and Thailand, etc are certain evidences of the institutional hard work and striving for quality. 

Undoubtedly, Hon. Shri. Annasaheb Dange Arts, Commerce and Science College, Hatkanangale is working positively and constantly that lead us towards our goals. Looking at the efforts of this college, personally I feel that such constant efforts of the college will achieve the status of college of potential excellence (CPE) as well as college of excellence (CE) very soon in future. Getting timely assessment and accreditations from NAAC, inviting various agencies for quality audits, qualified staff and good learning ambience including physical infrastructure, ICT infrastructure, research laboratories, and library resources etc are some of the strong points of our college. Best luck for future initiatives.
