History[]

The society was established on the auspicious day of Lokmanya Tilak Jayanti on 23 July 1927. The society commenced educational activities in the same year by starting New English School, with a student strength of about 20 students on its roll. The society has not looked back since then. The sapling has flourished into a sprawling Banyan tree having multiple branches like Jubilee English School, Murtizapur High School, Jubilee and New English Junior College, M.C.V.C., Akola Law College, etc. At present the society has several educational institutions under its patronage.

These institutions are providing educational services to nearly 5000 students at Akola and Murtizapur. The range of their activities spreads from K.G. to junior colleges. The vision of the management is to provide educational services to the student-community of the region ranging from K.G. to P.G.
The society celebrated its platinum jubilee in 2002. As a mark of celebration and to commemorate the occasion, it was resolved to venture into the field of higher education by setting up a five-year degree course Law College at Akola. As a result, Akola Law College came into being. The college is recognized by the government of Maharashtra and affiliated to Amravati University. The Bar Council of India, New Delhi has accorded its approval to the college.
