Education is the most powerful tool that can transform lives, shape futures, and build societies. At Matoshree Vimalabai Deshmukh Mahavidyalaya, we believe in unlocking the limitless potential of our students, guiding them on a path of intellectual curiosity, moral integrity, and societal responsibility.

Located at the heart of Amravati city, the college is affiliated with Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University and is a proud member of the Shri Shivaji Education Society, the largest educational society in Maharashtra. With the visionary leadership of Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh, India’s first Agriculture Minister, the college was founded with the mission of offering educational opportunities to rural youth, thereby nurturing their aspirations and dreams. The institution was founded with the noble aim of empowering rural youth through education. The college owes its existence to the recommendations of the Radhakrishnan Commission, which envisioned it as a Rural Institute dedicated to transforming the educational landscape of the region.

In 1999, the institution was re-named Matoshree Vimalabai Deshmukh Mahavidyalaya to honor the legacy of Matoshree Vimalabai Deshmukh, the first woman advocate in the Vidardha region, whose pioneering spirit in the field of education and women’s empowerment has left an indelible mark. Matoshree Vimalabai Deshmukh was a visionary who introduced Home Science courses to the rural campus, recognizing the need for women to have access to practical education that would empower them and enable them to make meaningful contributions to their families and communities. Her efforts laid the foundation for women’s empowerment in the region and continue to inspire generations of students.

Under the stewardship of a series of distinguished principals, this institution has flourished. Currently, the proficient leadership of Dr. Smita Deshmukh continues to guide the college toward new academic horizons. Dr. Deshmukh’s extensive experience in NAAC accreditation, UGC, and research initiatives has played a pivotal role in shaping the college’s vision. Her work with Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, along with her involvement in key academic and cultural bodies such as the Bhartiya Bhasha Samiti, Ministry of Education, and PM USHA initiatives, has contributed significantly to the institution's growth.
