Who We Are

Knowledge brings you the opportunity to make a difference.

Harmal Panchakroshi Shikshan Mandal(HPSM) is a non-profit society actively involved in imparting quality education to students hailing from the village of Harmal (Arambol) and surrounding villages in Pernem Taluka of Goa for more than four decades.

This educational society was founded in 1967 with a mere enrolment of 26 students. Increase of enrolments in subsequent years led to the addition of a 3 storied building with 36 classrooms and a hall. Presently, with our yearly enrolment crossing 1400 students from nursery to college, the Society has again identified the need for additional infrastructure and undertaken construction of a three storey new building in village Harmal, Taluka Pernem, Goa which has almost reached completion.

Under the aegis of Harmal Panchakroshi Shikshan Mandal, Ganpat Parsekar College of Education was established in 2015.

Ganpat Parsekar College of Education aims to create quality and new-age teachers to meet emerging academic demand through innovative, holistic and wholesome teaching-learning. GPCOE has two programs viz, B.Sc.B.Ed and B.A, B.Ed. The college is affiliated to Goa University and Recognised by NCTE.
