Established in 1886 just
as a reading room got a name & fame "Ganesh Wachanalaya" in 1901. In
Pre-Independence Era it faced the toughest time during "Hyderabad Muktisangram"
each of the director was either arrested or was underground. After the demise of
Lokmanya Tilak it was really rejuvenated as Adv. Mukundrao Pedgaonkar donated
his building in 1935. Till 1956 it was in the hands of Keshavrao Patki & in 1964
got registered with Maharashtra Government with B Grade & with sheer efforts of
Hon. Ramarao Lonikar & Ganpatrao Pedgaonkar could get a 9168 sq.ft plot in
'Prime Locality' In 1980 Frash Body of Dirctors handed over the charge to
Padmakar Pedgaonkar & as a result of it he secured Dist. A grade for Wachanalaya
giving a new direction. Further due to extended hend of support from Diwakar
Ravteji & Dr.Maslekar today wachanalaya is standing on 2800 sq.Ft. land with a
modern amenity building.
