About Mahamati Pran Nath Degree College

Mahamati Pran Nath Degree College is a private aided college in Chitrakoot, Uttar Pradesh, established in 1982. It is affiliated to Bundelkhand University, Jhansi. Campusbells lists it under General.

Mahamati Prannath Mahavidyalaya is situated 70 Km from Allahabad at Mau on the Allahabad-Jhansi highway (NH 76). The institution, named after the renowned Bhakti saint Mahamati Prannath, was established in 1982 to facilitate a liberal arts education in Mau, a primarily rural sub division of Chitrakoot district. There was then no institution for higher education in Mau, and the nearest such centres were either 70 kilometres away in the city of Allahabad, or 80 kilometres distant in the township of Atarra.

However, students even in that constraining milieu had proceeded to acquire higher education in these and other centres. Higher education was largely inaccessible to girls from the area in the prevailing socio-cultural scenario. Education to women was also a significant factor driving the courageous resolve of the group of individuals who decided to found a college in their native village.

The college was started with meagre resources in a functional structure consisting of six rooms and quite basic facilities.
