Sudhagad Education Society’s  Sheth J.N.Paliwala  College of Commerce, Arts & Science  College was established in 1989 with a view, to provide,” education to the students, mostly for first generation learners, of the  Sudhagad Taluka who used to go to Khopoli ,Alibag, Mahad, Panvel, Pune etc  which are located at a distance of 40 to 80km from Pali.  In 1989, due to the generous efforts of Shri. V.G. Oswal, Raigad Dnyan Prabodhini, Pen started a senior college at Pali. The Class was conducted in the premises of Sudhagad education Society’s G.B.Vader Highschool & Jr. College Pali. The Raigad Dnyan Prabodhini handed over  the college to Sudhagad Education Society due to the difficulties arising because of the distance.   In the initial stages of the college,  the situation was very critical. In June 1989 the commerce faculty was started.  Only 42 students took the admission in the college. In June 1990 Science faculty was started on totally unaided basis. In June 1993 the Arts faculty was started.  In  June  1996 commerce faculty received 100% grants from the state government.  In June 1999 Science and Arts faculty are also started receiving 100% grants  from the government. Thus the Sudhagad Education Society run the college on non grant basis for 10 years. Inspite of the drastic financial problems, the college survived only because of the help rendered by Late Dadasaheb Limaye, Late Shri. J.N.Paliwala and Shri. V.G.Oswal and other members of the governing body.
