The Belgaum Education Society completed 75 years on 2nd Feb. 2000 and the Platinum Jubilee Celebration was due last year itself. But due to sudden death of both our-President (Shri Prahlad Kumar Bhagoji) and Vice-President (Shri Vinod Kulkarni), we had to postpone the function.76 years ago, on 2nd February 1925, seven young enthusiasts decided to devote their services to the cause of education and established “Model English School”. They were :

1) Shri. R.B. Kulkarni

2) Shri. K.V. Bhandare

3) Shri. N.K. Mujumdar

4) Shri. R.K, Potdar 

5) Shri. V.G. Hosurkar

6) Shri. L. K. Mujumdar

7) Shri. V.D. Joshi

The School was housed in Shri. Bolmal’s Building near Kapileshwar Road, railway Crossing. The seven young teachers were encouraged, guided and given full backing in this noble venture by six promoters who were leading lights of Belgaum Public Life. These six luminaries were: 

1) Dr. H.V. Savanur 

2) Shri D.V. Belvi

3) Shri. Narayanrao Joshi

4) Shri. V.G. Jigajinni 

5) Shri. Balawantrao Datar and 

6) Dr. V. G. Nargundkar 

These Founder Fathers – 7 life members and 6 promoters established the Belgaum Education Society under the Presidentship of Shri. D.V. Belvi and this Society was later registered in 1946.
