The institution has been visited by almost all national leaders of the independence movement era, including Gandhiji, Sardar Patel, Shri PC Ray and so on. Some of its students and faculties were involved in the Quit India movement and for that for a few months its buildings were seized by the British.

It has been a pioneer in higher education in Central India. It manages six educational institutions at Wardha and a Commerce College at Nagpur. It has student strength of approximately 10,000 and a faculty of 450. Most of its institutions are run on grant basis.
