History
Run by the Anandilal Podar Trust, Seth Gyaniram Bansidhar Podar College, Nawalgarh is one of the premier educational institutions in the Shekhawati region. The college has grown from a Brahmcharyashram established in 1921. Before the formation of University of Rajasthan, the college had been affiliated to Agra University. It has been a rare honour for the college to have Mahatma Gandhi as the first Chairman Trustee. It needs to be mentioned here that the Trust came into being as the result of a benevolent donation by Shri Anandilalji Podar for the uplift of education in the region.
