Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth (TMV) was founded in 1921, with the inspiration of Mahatma Gandhi as a memorial to Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak just after his death. Tilak had preached National Education as one of the important pillars of his four-fold formula (along with Swaraj, Swadeshi, and Boycott of foreign goods). The university emerged out of the first Maharashtra Provincial Conference organized on 6th May 1921 under the chairmanship of Shrimat Shankaracharya of Karveer Peeth.
In 1987, the University Grants Commission (UGC) awarded TMV Deemed-to-be-University status for its contributions, especially in Sanskrit, Ayurveda, Social Sciences, and Distance Education.
TMV was a trailblazer in distance education, opening its B.A. course even before IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University) and YCMOU (Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University)
