”Chintamani Mahavidyalaya, Pombhurna’ was established by Chintamani Shikashan Prasarak Mandal, Ballarpur. It is the first and the only degree college in the faculty of Arts in Tribal and Naxalist area of Chandrapur district. It is listed under section 2f of UGC in March 2012. The institution is surrounded with green vegetation and enriched with wild animals. It is also recognized as ‘Naxal’ and ‘Adivasi’ area. The population is mainly tribal including ST, SC, NT communities. The people of these communities are economically, socially, educationally backward. Due to lack of education, they are unaware about the importance and benefits of higher education. Hence they have a little information about educational facilities for backward communities proposed by state and central government. The students are unable to secure for the higher education due to economic condition. But our ‘Chintamani Mahavidyala’ opened the doors of knowledge to fulfill the educational need of these backward students. The college has its own aim to develop students educationally, culturally, economically, socially and politically. The institute motivates them to create their own identity with the thought ‘Vidya Dhan Sarva Dhan Pradhanam’ which means that the wealth of knowledge is greater than any other wealth in the world. It brings about the educational and cultural development in rural and tribal area to get their own ability to stand in the modern and developed community to prove themselves.”
