Solapur University, which was established on 1st August 2004, has been contributing to the enrichment of the higher education needs of the students of the Solapur district. Solapur University is considered to be a young University in the state of Maharashtra. It can be proudly announced that in terms of academic, research, arts, sports and cultural fields our University has superseded several older and established Universities. Solapur University has joined the mainstream of the national universities by virtue of implementing the Cumulative Grade Point Average and Choice Based Credit System aimed at combining the traditional educational system with the concept and process of globalization. We have brought about innovative and fundamental changes and have taken firm steps towards paperless transaction by implementing the 33 recommendations forwarded by Shri Rajesh Agrawal University Examinations Reformation Committee. Solapur University is at the third position in the state of Maharashtra in terms of the implementation of these exam reforms. For the examinations of different courses the University realized the on-line distribution of the question papers one hour before the commencement of the examinations successfully through the DEPDS system. Solapur University has received the Award for Education Technology for the effective utilization of technology in the administration of higher education by the global-level Indus Foundation. This development has been quite admirable and encouraging in terms of the comprehensive development of the University. Along with the imparting activities, the teacher-researchers of this University have been allocated considerable amount of funds from different funding agencies for research endeavours. Being the only one-district University in India, Solapur University has been performing significantly on all the fronts. I am sure that in the coming years the performance of the University will be further enhanced with the cooperation of all of you. Extending best wishes, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
