Laxmi College is a college with a fantastic learning environment and ethos. We are rightly proud of being a comprehensive college providing educational opportunities for all our students, irrespective of ability or aptitude. Having started in the year 2000, at the turn of the millennium, we started off with a diploma in optometry. Soon we realized the need for optometrists which is growing so rapidly, that we moved on to providing education for a degree in optometry. Today, we stand proud, with an independent premise of our own, the only college in Optometry in Maharashtra to have one. I hope the following introduction gives you some insight into our College.
