RCU has been setup by Ramchandra Chandravansi Welfare Trust (RCWT) which was registered in the year 2006. Since its inception, the mission of the founding fathers has been to spread education to ordinary citizens of India, particularly those hailing from backward regions of the state of Jharkhand and India. With very humble beginning of two Intermediate Colleges 15 years back, RCWT has transformed itself into a diverse and excellent educational complex of technical, professional and medical related academic institutions.
The backward regions of Garhwa and Palamu throws up many challenges to introduce higher education. RCWT has developed a culture of sensitising and providing encouragement at the school level so that boys and girls feel more inclined to go for higher education after they pass out from school.
Every region and strata of our society imposes special demand on avenues of higher education which will be most beneficial and useful for them. It is observed that the Palamu and Garhwa districts as well as some other regions of the state of Jharkhand are economically backward regions. Same is the case with some of the adjoining areas of the neighbouring states of Chhattaisgarh, UP and Bihar. These regions are dependent on agriculture and mining. Thus education at different levels appropriate to these regions is required to be introduced. The courses have to cater to the local needs and they also have to be linked to the industrial and agricultural sector aiming at the overall development of the region. Social relevance of the courses and their inter-disciplinary nature are also essential. Since the very beginning, RCWT has been very sensitive to these issues and thus created facilities for very diverse fields of study.
RCWT has decided to focus extensively in the field of education and aims to be one of the pioneering quality education providers in the country. Over and above the institutions under RCU, members of RCWT also run following educational institutions:
- Ramchandra Chandravansi Industrial Training Institute
- Women’s ITI
- Garhwa Polytechnic
- Laxmi Chandravansi Mahila Inter College
- Shivesar Chandravansi Inter College
- Laxmi Chandravansi Girls’s High School
- Bhagmani Chandravansi Public School
