Since the college is fully governed by the Sahyadri Shikshan Mandal, Dindori, the college administration is bound by the policies framed by the Department of Higher Education, State Government of Maharashtra, and Savitribai Phule Pune University. Based on the locality, the local culture, occupation of the residents, and the language and dialect the locals speak, this college has a unique vision and mission.
Coming to the institutional vision, mission, and objectives, the college has its own peculiarities. Karanjali is a rural-tribal village surrounded by wide-ranging farms and forests. The college primarily serves the higher educational needs of students from surrounding villages whose mother tongue is Kokani, a local dialect of Marathi. As a result, the college caters to students who cannot migrate to larger cities for higher education, aligning perfectly with the country’s vision of 'Higher Education for All'. Despite the region being backward in modern education standards, the college is steadily succeeding in its mission to equip rural-tribal students with modern job-oriented education.
The institution has completed 8 successful years in higher education, promoting the betterment and empowerment of rural youth. To empower socially, economically, and educationally marginalized sections of rural society, the college has provided the following facilities:

The management has various bodies, including the Management/Executive Council, Governing Body, Board of Trustees, and Local Management Committee (LMC). Important points are circulated from the Hon.

Regular meetings with IQAC and various committees help implement top management decisions, and the Principal collaborates with faculty to strategize for academic growth.
The college operates on a decentralized structure with collective responsibility. Authority is delegated across academic performance and decision-making, allowing operational autonomy to HODs, library staff, office personnel, curricular committees, and student councils. HODs coordinate academic programs and decide on requirements for the academic year, while units like Sports, NSS, and SWO operate under the Principal's guidance.
The college grants autonomy for organizing competitions, guest lectures, seminars, and workshops. The Principal calls LMC meetings to discuss new courses based on faculty suggestions, promoting participative management. The management consists of committee members, including the Principal, HODs, and student representatives, ensuring democratic decision-making processes.
The college has a strategic plan to implement programs and activities, emphasizing quality assurance in all endeavors. The Principal, as the academic and administrative head, is empowered to discharge responsibilities effectively. Departments prepare annual action plans, which are discussed and motivated by the Principal. The college's development plans are shaped in consultation with stakeholders, focusing on basic needs and quality enhancement across academic and administrative activities.
