Night College of Arts and Commerce stands distinct as a beacon of inclusive and transformative education, operating on a unique night-college model that enables learning beyond sunset for those whose circumstances limit daytime study. The motto of the college is //असाध्य ते साध्य करीता सायास //, which means ‘ If sincere efforts are made the unattainable can be attained’. Education used to be unattainable for the masses in Kolhapur district with financial constraints. The institution is deeply committed to providing equitable access to higher education for deprived, marginalized, and first-generation learners, especially individuals who were forced to discontinue their education midway due to economic or social constraints. Our academic schedule is thoughtfully structured for students who work throughout the day—earning to support their families—and learn at night to build their futures. By offering a flexible yet academically rigorous environment, the college ensures that employment, financial hardship, or personal responsibilities never obstruct the pursuit of a degree.

The institution balances social equity with academic excellence, nurturing not only learners seeking a second chance but also meritorious students who consistently excel in academics and co-curricular domains. The college takes pride in its strong legacy of sporting achievement, being home to students who have won medals at the zonal, inter – zonal and national levels across various sports disciplines, reflecting exceptional resilience, discipline, and competitive spirit. Even after demanding work hours, students are encouraged and supported to shine in sports, cultural activities, literary events, oratory, poetry, dramatics, and youth competitions, fostering holistic development and leadership.

Our distinct identity lies in our ability to create a powerful blend of inclusion, resilience, empowerment, and achievement, producing graduates who are not just academically qualified, but are confident changemakers and contributors to community and nation-building. The college stands as a symbol of hope, dignity, and opportunity, where night classrooms ignite dreams, rebuild aspirations, and transform lives—proving that education delayed is not education denied, and learning at night can still lead to limitless success.
