History

Vidya Prasarak Mandal (VPM) is a premier Educational Trust in Thane which was established in August 1935. Ex. President of VPM, Late Dr. V. N.

The then Chief Minister of Goa, Dayanand Bandodkar, gave a donation of Rs. 3,20,000/- for the construction of the Science college building. June 1975 marked the transition of the affliation of the college from the University of Pune to the University of Mumbai, and in the same year Bandodkar College was separated from the Arts and Commerce colleges due to ease and convenience regarding the administraion of the college.
