Central Hindu Military Education Society: A Body Devoted To Promoting Education
Our founder Dr. B. S. Moonje made an epoch-making contribution in founding the Central Hindu Military Education Society, our parent body, in the year 1935. He was, then, fired by the desire of Indianization of forces. He was a firm believer in the adage 'MIGHT IS RIGHT'. He knew that the right path to independence of India was by empowering its youth in mind and body. Thus came into being the Bhonsala Military School, in the year 1937. The society has a long tradition of past students who joined the Armed Forces, or have rendered commendable service to the society in such diverse fields as politics, civil services, and social service. The society has been fortunate in having at the helm such pioneers as Late Shri Bhavanishankar Niyogi and Late Gen. (Retd.) G.G. Bewoor. After independence, a new objective was added to the existing one. It was now imperative to preserve the hard-earned independence; to uphold the integrity and sovereignty of India. Men and women were to be encouraged to actively participate in the Armed forces and civil services. Together with Bhonsala Military School, we too offer preparatory military training to desirous young men and women. Our motto is 'a sound mind in a strong body'. We have slowly and steadily evolved a formidable system, which in days to come will be a leader for institutions which offer military training, like IMA, Dehradun, and NDA. The CHME Society is committed to promote education and runs a number of institutes as follows:
- Bhonsala Military College, Nashik

In the year 1986, the Bhonsala Military College came into existence. It is privately supported and partially residential co-educational institute. The primary objective of the institute is to provide for and otherwise promote education and research in the fields of Science, Humanities, Commerce, and Defence and Strategic Studies. It is, thus, in pursuance to these objectives that we strive to collate and disseminate in this field effective ideas, methods, techniques and information as is likely to promote security of India and train young men and women able and eager to create and put into action such ideas, methods, techniques and information. This college, which started with only the Science faculty in the senior division, further established the Arts and the Commerce faculty in the due course. Over the course of time the college further developed several flexible educational programmes in line with the market demands. Our inspiration: The temple of our propitious deity, Lord Rama, in martial regalia, is the Central beauty spot of Rambhoomi. This temple houses Lord Rama, the bachelor, symbolizing special affinity to the students, referred to as the Ramdandees, those following the path of Rama, the shishya. The temple with its spiraling tower and peaceful aura is a favourite haunt of the residents and the general public alike. Summer and winter military training programs are run for both boys and girls and they have earned accolades from all strata of society. Each year, the response to these courses is tremendous. Ramdandee Military Training Course has been started for the students of Junior college and BBA from 2008 and hundreds of students are being benefited. Thus, apart from the regular academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, many other innovative programs have been started by all the institutes run by the Society.
