Nestled in the heart of rural Maharashtra, Suman Madhav Women’s College stands as a shining beacome of hope, opportunity, and empowerment for young women from villages and small towns across the region. Established in loving memory of our visionary founder, Late Shri. Madhavrao Patil Zharikar, and managed by the dedicated Sahyadri Bahuuddeshiya Sevabhavi Sanstha, Zari, our college has been transforming lives through quality higher education since its inception.We are proud to be affiliated with Shreemati Nathibai Damodar Thackersey (SNDT) Women’s University, Mumbai – India’s first university exclusively for women, with a glorious legacy of over a century in promoting women’s education, research, and leadership. This affiliation ensures that every program we offer meets rigorous academic standards while remaining sensitive to the unique needs of women, especially those from rural and economically weaker sections.At Suman Madhav Women’s College, we firmly believe that education is the most powerful tool for women’s empowerment and social change. In a country where girls from rural areas often face multiple barriers – economic constraints, social norms, early marriage pressures, and limited access to quality institutions – our college provides a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where every girl can dream big and achieve her full potential.Our campus, though located in a serene rural setting, is equipped with modern facilities that rival urban institutions. We offer a wide range of undergraduate programs designed to blend traditional academic excellence with contemporary skill development. Students can pursue Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.), Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.), B.Sc. in Home Science, B.Design, B.A. in Fashion Design, and B.Sc. in Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS). These programs are carefully structured to develop not only subject knowledge but also critical thinking, creativity, communication skills, digital literacy, and entrepreneurial abilities – qualities essential for success in today’s world.What sets us apart is our deep commitment to holistic development. Beyond classrooms and laboratories, we nurture leadership, confidence, and social responsibility through a variety of co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Our active National Service Scheme (NSS) unit regularly organizes camps, awareness drives, and community service projects in nearby villages, focusing on issues such as health, hygiene, literacy, and environmental conservation. Cultural programs, sports events, debates, and workshops help students discover their talents and build lifelong friendships.
