Mumbai — Illuminating Futures Since 1985
Founded by Smt. Aruna Bhikaji Kharate and Shri. Dattatraya Bhikaji Veer — Maharashtra’s trusted educational network with 2500+ students, 225+ staff, and 16 institutions across Kalyan & Nashik.
Kalyan is a city steeped in rich history where tradition gracefully intertwines with progress. Recognizing the deep-rooted potential within the community, Shetkari Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Mumbai was established in 1985.
Born from a strong conviction to provide modern, relevant, and high-caliber education, the Trust was founded under President Smt. Aruna Bhikaji Kharate — a renowned educationist with 38+ years of experience — alongside Shri. Dattatraya Bhikaji Veer.
SSPM is more than an institution; it is a movement driven by a shared mission to empower and uplift disadvantaged sectors of society through education, vocational training, and community service.
