Government Polytechnic, Awasari (Khurd) is one of the newly established institutes in Maharashtra, set up in the academic year 2008–09 by the Higher & Technical Education Department, Government of Maharashtra, to impart technical education and inculcate technical skills among rural and tribal communities for their sustainable development. The institute aims to make students competent entrepreneurs who can provide effective and efficient services to society. Its objective is to create a technically skilled human resource and entrepreneurs who can contribute to increasing the nation’s GDP and set a benchmark as a model polytechnic.

The institute offers diploma programs in engineering, affiliated to the Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE), Mumbai, and recognized by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi.

In the era of the knowledge economy, technical education will play a pivotal role in India’s economic growth. Polytechnics are instrumental in providing cutting-edge technology and quality education to the stakeholders. Skill-based and need-based education enhances job opportunities for students and equips them to meet the requirements of industry and society. We are committed to providing excellent and effective education, transforming students into employable technicians, and offering various technical services to the community. We hope that our sincere efforts will enable this polytechnic to reach international standards and compete globally.
