Chairman’s Message
Shri. Pramod Rawat
CHAIRMAN
D.E.S. - An Institution which fulfills the social, educational & cultural aspirations of the society.
India was reeling under the British rule, when Deccan Education Society's foundation was laid. Renowned social activists, Lokmanya Tilak, Gopal Agarkar & Vishnushastri Chiplunkar, who believed that nationalist education was the only means to revive the self-confidence of the society in order to dispel the darkness of poverty, inequality & illiteracy began in this quest by starting New English School in 1880.
Management of
Deccan Education Society
On the 13th of August 1885 the Society was registered under Act XXI of 1860.
