  • Satara. in 1960, the North Satara Reverted to Its Original Name Satara, and South Satara Was Designated As Sangli District
    MAHARASHTRA STATE GAZETTEERS Government of Maharashtra SATARA DISTRICT (REVISED EDITION) BOMBAY DIRECTORATE OF GOVERNMENT PRINTING, STATIONARY AND PUBLICATION, MAHARASHTRA STATE 1963 Contents PROLOGUE I am very glad to bring out the e-Book Edition (CD version) of the Satara District Gazetteer published by the Gazetteers Department. This CD version is a part of a scheme of preparing compact discs of earlier published District Gazetteers. Satara District Gazetteer was published in 1963. It contains authentic and useful information on several aspects of the district and is considered to be of great value to administrators, scholars and general readers. The copies of this edition are now out of stock. Considering its utility, therefore, need was felt to preserve this treasure of knowledge. In this age of modernization, information and technology have become key words. To keep pace with the changing need of hour, I have decided to bring out CD version of this edition with little statistical supplementary and some photographs. It is also made available on the website of the state government www.maharashtra.gov.in. I am sure, scholars and studious persons across the world will find this CD immensely beneficial. I am thankful to the Honourable Minister, Shri. Ashokrao Chavan (Industries and Mines, Cultural Affairs and Protocol), and the Minister of State, Shri. Rana Jagjitsinh Patil (Agriculture, Industries and Cultural Affairs), Shri. Bhushan Gagrani (Secretary, Cultural Affairs), Government of Maharashtra for being constant source of inspiration.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 INTRODUCTION Our college is functioning in the light of our Sanstha's Motto Vidyadhan Sarvdhan Pradhanam as it means Knowledge is the greatest wealth with foremost importance. It is situated in the hilly & rural and remote region of Konkan area. It is placed in the range of Sahyadri Mountain which is a part of Western Ghat having a picturesque landscape. It is the only pioneering institution imparting higher education in Poladpur tehsil. After its establishment in September 1998,under the guidance of Ex-rural Development minister of Maharashtra Hon.Shri Prabhakarji More, the college has achieved success in imparting higher education to the first learning generation of the area, particularly to girl students for whom the higher education was a distant dream. It is only after the establishment of our college, initially with Arts and Commerce streams/faculties, many of the villages of Poladpur tehsil got their first graduate students as there was no institution imparting higher education available in the area even after the fifty years of Indian independence.
