The correct answer is G.k Gokhale .
Gokhale, Ranade, Vishnu chiplunkar, Tilak, Gopal Ganesh Agarkar, Apte all were founding members of DES
The seeds for the society were sown by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Vishnushastri Chiplunkar and Gopal Ganesh Agarkar by establishing New English school in Pune in 1880. It was the first native school which offered western education and made rapid progress in higher education. This paved the path for the establishment of the Deccan education society which convinced masses to new awakening and salvation and people started believing in education as a means of social transformation.
