Shri Mathuradas Mohota College of Science

In 1854 Bhonsale regime came to an end and British regime started. The Government did not have a separate education department till 1862. The Missionary schools existed but people were reluctant to send their children to these schools on the ground of religion. But the need for an English education was increasingly felt. There was a primary school that was being run by Shri T. N. Ahirrao, Shri Nanasaheb Chitnavis etc. On 1st April 1869 English classes were added to it and the school was named 'The Grant-in-Aid Anglo-Vernacular School' under the Head Mastership of Shri B.D. Agashe. Shri B.K.Bose & Gangadhar Chitnavis were closely associated with the management of the school. In 1870 the name was changed to 'City School' In the year 1871 some classes of the school were started in Bhudhawari area for the benefit of Koshti Samaj.
