In the year 1961, the trust started Ulhasnagar Girls College, the first college in the entire Konkan region. The college was later in the year 1967 renamed as Ramchand Kimatram Talreja College of Arts, Science &Commerce today   popularly known as R.K.T College. It was the selfless spirit of “Baba”, which prompted him to rename the college after Ramchand Kimatram Talreja, who generously donated funds to the institution. In the year 1964 Seva Sadan’s College of Education was started to impart training to the teachers.
