Dr. Mohan Gaikwad     Secretary, Vidarbha Bahu-uddeshiya Shikshan Sanstha
Dr. Mohan Gaikwad, with more than twenty years of experience in education system to his credit, established the Gaikwad- Patil Group of Institutions in Nagpur to cater to the quality education needs of the youth in Vidarbha. His early experience of teaching in an engineering college made him acutely aware of the dissonance between engineering education in the country and the requirements of the industry. He therefore began with a dream of starting an engineering college that equips students with knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant to the industry. That dream has manifested today in the form of two engineering colleges, well known in the region for their constant striving to impart quality and industry-relevant education to their students. Hardly in his early forties, Dr. Gaikwad is the young and dynamic face of the Group. His contagious enthusiasm and unflagging drive is truly inspiring.
