Abasaheb Garware College of Arts and Science (commonly referred to as Garware College or AGC) is a college located in Pune, India. It is run by the Maharashtra Education Society, a private education institution founded by Vasudeo Balwant Phadke, Vaman Prabhakar Bhave and Laxman Narhar Indapurkar in 1860. The college was established in 1945 and named as "M.E.S College of Arts and Science". It was later renamed to its present name in the 1970s after a charitable donation by the industrialist Abasaheb Garware to the society.
Garware College offers HSC (10 + 2) courses, along with Bachelors, Masters and PhD programs in Arts and Science. Approximately 5000 students study in this college.
