K K Wagh Education Society was established in 1970 by the visionary leader, Late Padma Shri Karmaveer Kakasaheb Wagh. He realized the importance of education for the upliftment of rural masses and started with a girls’ school in Niphad Tehsil.
Earlier, he was active in the development of Maratha Vidya Prasarak Samaj, which has been established as a centre of learning for over 100 years. He was also instrumental in setting up three cooperative sugar factories in the Nashik district. As a leader of farmers, he represented Niphad Tehsil in the state legislative assembly.
K K Wagh Education Society, later on, received 23 acres of land from the well-known Philanthropist, Late Ratansey Haridas Udeshi (Kakuseth) of Hirabai Hansaraj Surji Charitable Trust and was utilized by K K Wagh Education Society to establish an ideal Technical Campus.
This campus is named ‘Hirabai Haridas Vidyanagari’ in the name of his mother, ‘Hirabai Haridas’.
The late Shri. Balasaheb Wagh, alias Bhau (1932-2022), was a visionary, a great humanitarian and a quintessential reformer who has left behind an impeccable paradigm of selflessness and dedication. He led the education society up to 2022. The K K Wagh Education Society is now led by the dynamic leader Hon. Shri. Sameer Wagh (MTech, ICT, Mumbai). For more details, visit https://www.kkwagh.edu.in/
