It was fifty year ago, when there was on such facility of education at Chapoli. There was no option other than going to urban area for education. It was not possible for poor  people  to  provide  education to  their children. Keeping in view the need of the people, Shri Narayanrao Daulatrao Chate along with some citizens having  social bondage and vision of education established ‘Navyuvak Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Chapoli in June 1964. At the outset Sanjeevanee Vidyalaya, Chapoli was established starting 8th and 9th and 10th classes. Today it is unbelievable  that  there  were  only seven students and three  employees a teacher, a clerk  and a peon in the school. Later on 5th to 7th classes were opened in the same premise. Later on,Shri Narayanrao Daulatrao Chate thought about the expansion of educational network.  As a result the Navyuvak Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Chapoli opened Rajiv Gandhi Vidyalaya, Anandwadi, Veer Hanuman Vidyalaya, Himpalner, NutanVidyalaya, Wagholi in Chakur Tahsil of Latur  district in Maharashtra.  Later on Saint Dhondutatya Vidyalaya, Kolnoor in Jalkot Tahsil of Latur District in Maharashtra was established.

            It was a sincere attempt of Navyuvak Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Chapoli to provide basic education to the students residing in rural area. It became possiblefor the students from rural area to study upto S.S.C. standard. Again  it  was  not  possible  for  all to go  to  the cities and study in the Colleges for pre-graduation courses. In order to meet this problem,Dr. Narayanrao ChatestartedSanjeevanee Junior College, Chapoli in 1991. At the beginning, there were three faculties Arts, and Science in Marathi  medium and Arts and faculty in Urdu medium. It was a type of boon for the students from rural area. Simultaneously,hefocused on  primary education as well, 1st to  4th  classes  were started  accordingly  with  the establishment of Sanjeevanee Primary School at Chapoli. Thus ‘Navyuvak Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Chapoli provided an opportunity to learn from  first  standard to  H.S.C  under the same  umbrella.

            Later on,Navyuvak Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, Chapoli under the guidance of Dr. Narayanrao Chateestablished Sanjeevanee Mahavidyalaya, Chapoli in July 1999. The college has now Arts, Science and Commerce faculties at UG level and M. Sc. Mathematics at PG Level.
