Out-reach activitiesDespite pressing schedules to kick-start the functioning and propel the University towards path of growth, the first Vice Chancellor did not forget his social obligations and family commitments.
The first Vice-Chancellor belongs to a farmer family and come from a small village near Kolhapur. The appointment of a ‘rural boy’ on the post of Vice Chancellor was a proud rejoicing time for the entire village and neighborhood. An emotionally charged welcome was given when he visited the hometown for the first time after assuming the charge. Following few photographs are testimony of the love and affection of his home folks. It has been a rewarding experience to be associated with village activities, like, farmer’s development, school development, development of cooperative initiatives especially in the area of dairy and poultry, and representing the problems of the village to the related authorities. These are the duties every educated and concerned citizen must perform. The society many a times is more gracious. In recognition to contributions towards development of the hometown, the Gram Sabha of village Mangaon, conferred on him ‘Gram Ratna’ award.
