“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Goa prides itself on being a state of the literates and the educated. And yet, Canacona was deprived of the benefits of Higher Education. Yes, Canacona a remotely located rural place with population belonging to mostly marginalized people belonging to ST/OBC/Economically Backward and a tribal population burdened by economic challenges and social deprivation. Higher Education was a ‘distant’ dream to be pursued by elite and a fervent few in neighboring talukas and neighboring states.
“Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of man.” — This belief of Horace Mann was shared by those who could Grow and Glow because of Higher Education. The educated Sons of Soil of Canacona were scattered in Goa, India and even abroad. Though lands part bodies, hearts keep company.’
These people were united by their love for their place of origin. The passion of a select few of these learners led to the establishment of Dnyan Prabodhini Mandal Trust with the intention “Tamso ma jyotirgamaya” to lead society from the darkness of ignorance towards enlightenment. In 1993, the dream became a reality in the form of Shree Mallikarjun College of Arts & Commerce, Canacona.
