Opened in 1914, the Training School for Men (Purush Adhyapan Mandir) was the part of an initiative started by Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III.

It used to provide technical education to the men of the city as well as that of the other territories of the State. It is located on the DEO Kacheri campus in the Karelibaug area of the city.

Built-in the colonial style, the building displays exposed brickwork just like the other buildings of its time. The double-storeyed building features a tower and an arcaded corridor on both levels.

Apart from these features what gives it it’s colonial charm are the louvered windows, pitched roof, and the use of wood in its construction. Specially constructed for the purpose of technical education, it has huge halls and plenty of windows, which used to provide the students with ample daylight and fresh air.

Currently, the building is in a healthy state but it is not much used these days and may fall into disrepair if this continues to be the state.
