NAAC Peer Team visit to IQAC Documentation Centre NAAC Peer Committee Exit Meeting Shivaji University, Kolhapur 52nd Annual Report Retrospection It gives me immense pleasure while presenting to you the 52nd Annual Report of Shivaji University which is the first report after I assumed office as the Vice Chancellor of the university. The report takes into consideration the academic and other achievements of the university, affiliated colleges, administrative sections, departments and institutions during the period from 1st July, 2014 to 30th June, 2015. Shivaji University is named after the most valorous, legendary and exemplary personality of Shivaji the Great. The university has the legacy of Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, pioneer social reformer Mahatma Phule and the architect of Indian Constitution Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. As the 12th Vice Chancellor of the university I make a special mention of the first Vice Chancellor of the university Dr. Appasaheb Pawar whose painstaking efforts are responsible for the establishment of this university. NAAC Bangalore peer team visited the Shivaji University during 24th to 27th September, 2014 and was officially nominated Grade ‘A’. The CGPA Score of the university is 3.16 and it’s the highest among all non- agricultural universities. I think this is the most commendable achievement of the university in its history. All teachers in all the university departments, non-teaching staff, officers, teachers in the affiliated colleges, present and former students and their parents deserve the credit of university achievements. Their constant hard work has transformed this golden dream of success into reality. The university has shown a good awareness of the environmental consciousness in the self-sufficiency in water usage by harvesting the rain water, management of solid and chemical waste, 29 patents in science and technology, lead college and weak college schemes, accounts code, earn and learn scheme, secured remote paper distribution (S. R. P. D.), special provision for differently abled students and teachers and all such achievements are commended in the NAAC Peer Team Report. The 51st Annual Convocation Ceremony of the university was organized on 29th January, 2015. Padmabhushan, Padmavibhushan Dr. Jayant Narlikar, astro-physicist of international repute and Marathi Science Fiction writer and promoter was the chief guest of the occasion. Hon. Dnyandeo Yashawant Patil alias D. Y. Patil was conferred with the honorary D. Litt. of the university in this convocation ceremony. The Board of College and University Development organized
