Saraswati Education Society
Founded in 2003, Saraswati Education Society is the trust behind the Doctor N Y Tasgaonkar Group of Institutes — the body that founds, governs and nurtures every institute in the ecosystem.
A trust built to make great education accessible
Saraswati Education Society is the parent trust that founds, governs and nurtures the Doctor N Y Tasgaonkar Group of Institutes. Established in 2003 at Karjat, District Raigad, and named for the goddess of knowledge, the Society exists to make excellent professional education accessible, affordable and transformative.
The Society sets the academic vision, ensures statutory compliance and council recognition (NMC, MUHS, NCISM, INC, PCI, AICTE, DTE and the University of Mumbai), and stewards the long-term growth of the ecosystem — always with students at the centre.
Beyond running institutes, the Society champions scholarships, medical and health camps, and community-outreach initiatives that extend the impact of education into the wider Karjat region.
The charter we are built to deliver
The Society's founding objectives shape every decision we make — from which programmes to launch to which students we support.
Found & operate institutes
Establish and run institutions of higher and professional education across engineering, pharmacy, nursing, physiotherapy, management and allied health sciences.
Scholarships & access
Provide scholarships and financial assistance to deserving students so talent — not family wealth — decides who gets a world-class education.
Research & skilling
Promote research, innovation and skill development that keeps every programme aligned to a fast-changing industry and an AI-powered future.
Community & welfare
Undertake community and social-welfare initiatives that carry the impact of education beyond the campus and into society at large.
The Society founds. The Group delivers.
Saraswati Education Society is the legal and academic parent of the Doctor N Y Tasgaonkar Group of Institutes. The Society sets the vision, ensures accreditation and stewards growth; the Group and its institutes turn that mandate into classrooms, laboratories, placements and careers across the Karjat–Mumbai corridor.
Academic vision
Sets the long-term academic direction, programme strategy and quality benchmarks that every institute is held to.
Compliance & accreditation

Stewards finances, infrastructure and the responsible expansion of the Group — always with students at the centre.

A focused governing body translates the Society's mandate into academic strategy, compliance and day-to-day excellence across every institute.
