Rachana Sansad College of Applied Art, Mumbai

A Banyan tree stands tall with vigour, strength and magnanimity with its colossal presence, being alive, strongly deep-rooted and generously branched. At Rachana Sansad, education represents growth, strength, stability, service and trust; together, we architects, designers, planners, artists are devoted to imparting education par excellence.

Three friends, dreamt of imparting knowledge way back in 1950. Shri. S. H. Wandrekar, Shri. C. K. Gumaste and Shri. V. G. Mhatre. One was a visionary, the other a teacher at heart and the third a strong influencer! Together, they were the perfect team and selflessly Rachana Sansad was formed as an educational initiative for aspiring students.

This fits perfectly for Rachana Sansad College of Applied Art and Craft. A student is shaped into what he or she will become through their choice of field and the institute they choose. Their experiences, mentors, and passion help them thrive in their chosen field. An institute that provides that ideal environment is more than just a place of learning, it is a place of education, exploration, and experimentation- a home.

The Rachana Sansad College of Applied Art and Craft is home to almost 300 such students. It is a place that has defined the best times of an aspiring commercial artist’s student life. This is where you lay the basic foundation of your identity as an applied artist by learning more about your own self through your failures and successes, testing your limits as an artist and as a human being. 

We help the students to discover their forte through an educational process that enables the overall development of the student. We enable students to learn to be observant, resourceful and unleash their creativity. Also, they learn how to think laterally and develop their own unique perspective. This is encouraged by a healthy atmosphere, observant faculty, and an environment that provides multiple opportunities to the students to showcase their potential. It is a place where a student has no choice but to step out of his comfort zone and find out what he is truly capable of.
