Faizpur is a small municipal place on the outskirts of Yawal Taluka of Jalgaon District. It is situated between the Satpuda ranges and the Tapi River. The majority of the population of this area consists of small landholders, which is, however considered to be one of the progressive areas of Maharashtra, particularly in the field of agriculture and education. It was here that in accordance with the mandate of Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian National Congress for the first time, held its Annual Session in rural areas, under the presidentship of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in 1936. At the call of Mahatma Gandhi, the middle class and the peasantry of this country plunged into the struggle for independence and completely altered its course. A large section of peasantry from this area followed the Mahatma in revolt against British rule and it was because of this large number of freedom fighters and constructive workers who actively participated in the struggle for independence, that on out of the way small place like Faizpur get the privilege of being the venue of the First Indian National Congress in rural areas.

Faizpur has thus a great importance and significance in the history of our freedom struggle. The memories of this historical event are a great source of inspiration to the people in their onward march. Motivated people therefore entertained the idea to setup monument of this historical moment which will inspire the generations. Hence, on the sacred place, a tower of inspiration (Prerana Stambha) has setup, which would remind the coming generations “The India in the dream of Gandhijee”.

It was, therefore, thought that an educational institute which would serve as a radiating center of ideas and thoughts that would contribute to the social, cultural and economic uplift of the rural community should be established. The Tapi Valley Education Society (TVES) was, therefore, formed in 1960 and under the patronage of this society; facilities for higher learning in Arts, Science and Commerce have been created by starting a College in 1961. The locations of TVES’s institutes are situated at the central place of the two talukas namely Yawal and Raver of Jalgaon District. The vision behind the location was to facilitate education to the inhabitant of both talukas.

This campus of higher learning is famous as "Nehru Vidya Nagar".
