KTHM College was established in 1969 in fine tune with the motto of our parent institution Maratha Vidya Prasarak Samaj, Nashik. The motto is बहुजन हिताय! बहुजन सुखाय!  (For the welfare of masses and for the happiness of masses). The parent institution was established in 1914 for the sole cause of education for the deprived classes. The Institution has got the legacy of movement keeping the view of leading the masses from darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge.
