Late Raja Rajendrasinghji Jadhao, the hereditary trustee of Shri Balaji Sansthan Deulgaon Raja and the founder chairman of Shri Vyankatesh College Deulgaon Raja has the legacy of the great historical person, Raja Lakhuji Jadhaorao. He is the thirteenth descendant of Raja Lakhuji Jadhaorao. He was born on 9 September 1931 and passed away on 30 August 2004. He had completed his higher education in the Victoria College, the renowned institution in Indore through English Medium. He became the hereditary trustee of Shri Balaji Sansthan after the death of his father Raja Anandrao on 17 August 1962. He had been the trustee of Shri Balaji Sansthan till 30th August 2004. He is known to the every person in and around Deulgaon Raja as well as across the Maharashtra as cordial and amiable person. While working as a trustee as well as the chairman of Shri Vyankatesh College, he had to face several difficulties, but he overcame all the difficulties quite successfully and worked consistently for the welfare of the people. He was always aware of his social responsibilities and was always trying to discharge those responsibilities quite sincerely. He observed the historical as well as traditional piety of the Sansthan without fail. Taking into consideration the problem of residence of the devotees, Late Rajasahib constructed the ‘Bhakta Niwas’, the place for the residence of the devotees comprising twenty rooms.

When in 1962 he became the trustee of the Sansthan, it was the period when there was no awareness about higher education amongst the people in and around Deulgaon Raja. In those days in Buldana district there were only two or three colleges imparting higher education. About within the distance of 50 to 60 kilometers there was no institution of higher education. Hon. Rajasahib realized the acute need of higher education of the students in rural area and in the vicinity of Deulgaon Raja and decided to start the college in Deulgaon Raja through Shri Balaji Sansthan. As a result on 17 July 1967 Shri Vyankatesh Arts and Commerce College was started with the painstaking efforts of Late Raja Rajendrasingh Jadhao. It was not an easy task to run the senior college in those days. Hence right from the teaching staff to the infrastructure there were problems before Rajasahib. To overcome these problems he started this college at his residence. When there was the scarcity of teacher for teaching English subject, he himself taught the subject till the teacher is appointed. Besides there were the financial problems before him to meet the various expenses while running the college, but he, very deftly handled these problems and led the college towards success. In 1971 with the helping and generous hands of the ex employee of the college Mr. Mukundrao Chavan and due to his donation of thirteen acres and Seven Gunthas of land for the construction, the college was shifted to its new building. Ever since, the college has been making phenomenal progress in various fields. Presently under the able guidance of Hon. Raja Vijaysing Jadhao, the hereditary trustee and President of Shri Vyankatesh College and the dexterous leadership of Hon. Principal Dr. G.B.Jadhav the college is in receipt of various awards at all levels and has been marching towards the remarkable success creating a valuable niche in the reputed institutions imparting higher education across Maharashtra.
