About Youth Festival :

AIU has entrusted Shivaji University,Kolhapur,Maharashtra, with hosting the 29

Inter-University West Zone Youth Festival 2013, which is scheduled to be held during

December 26th

-30th

, 2013 for five days.

About Kolhapur :

In today’s busy, fast stressful life the need to get away from it all has become an essential part of

life. As a result the number of people opting out for travelling to far away tourist destinations is

on the rise. People have a varied purpose during their trips like visiting religious places,

historical monuments, sightseeing on new locations, entertainment, etc. Thus tourism has

become an important industry, contributing to income source for the local population and adding

to the per capita income and GDP in general. There are a lot of tourist attractions in and around

the district of Kolhapur. One can find excavated remains dating back to 2nd

BC to ancient relics

of the Buddha, Mahavir era. There are old caves, temples from the era of shalivan, satavahan,

Bhoj and Yadavas to the Maratha Dynasty.

We can find forts, temples, stone inscriptions, statues and other relics and signs of the long lost

heritage here. Similarly the district of Kolhapur is enriched with a rich biodiversity making it

one of the 35 Biodiversity Hotspots in the world. The region falling in Western Ghats is

interspersed with thick lush forests, river origins, dams, wildlife sanctuaries and national forests.

As a result one is able to see a variety of falls, peaks, valleys, rivers and huge trees along with

all types of biodiversity, Kolhapur is nationally and internationally well known for its ancient

temples, religious importance and sacredness. It is also known as Dakhshin Kashi ( South

Kashi) and it is one of the three important holy paces ( haktipeeth). Tirupati Balaji is the richest

temple in south India with a huge tourist inflow.

Most of the tourists visit Goddess Mahalaxmi in Kolhapur after their visit to the Tirupati temple.

Similarly the number of tourists who visit temples at Jyotiba, Nursinhawadi, Vashi, Adampur

and 23 more such places is very high. Tourists from Goa, Karnataka, Andhra visit Kolhapur in

large numbers and also tourists from other parts of Maharashtra. Transport is available through

air, railways, state transport and other buses. The cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Gondia, Nagpur,

Hyderabad, Tirupati, Bangalore are well connected by rail. People from other parts can make

use of these stations for their travel to Kolhapur.

Historical places have a special importance as heritage sites. These sites are an evidence of

social status, changes, social make up of those times. They are also means of research for today.

Hence it is essential to conserve them for their future studies and these places can become a

major part of the tourist attractions. 5 Existence of Kolhapur can be seen from 200 BC. It has

ancient and historical importance. Chh. Tararani has established her capital in Kolhapur. After

1949 this Kolhapur state is declared as district as per the Indian Constitution.

Population :

As per the census conducted in 2011 the population of the district is 38.74 lakhs which has risen

by 9.96 % in comparision to 2001 census. The male – female ratio is 1000:953 while the ratio in

0 to 6 yrs is 1000:845 which has increased by 4.22 in the last decade.

About Shivaji University, Kolhapur :

Shivaji University, established in 1962,

is named after the Great Maratha

Warrior and founder of the Maratha

empire Chhatrapati Shivaji. It was

inaugurated on 18th November, 1962

by Dr. Radhakrishnan, the then

President of India. One of the major

objectives behind foundation of this

University was to cater to the regional

needs of South Maharashtra.

The jurisdiction of the University is spread over three districts viz. Kolhapur, Sangli and Satara

with strength of about 3,00,000 students studying in 271 affiliated colleges and recognised

institutes. This region of Maharashtra boasts of rich and varied socio-cultural heritage. Under

the innovative and socially reformist leadership of Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, the princely ruler

of Kolhapur, the city had become at the beginning of this century, a focal point of educational

opportunities for all classes and communities of South-Western Maharashtra, and northern parts

of neighbouring Karnataka. This is also land of Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil, who struggled for

taking education to the masses by his innovative 'Earn and Learn' scheme. When the University

was founded by the Shivaji University Act of 1962, the objectives set before the University

included making opportunities of higher education accessible to rural youth, conducting

fundamental and applied research in the field of science and humanities to ensure regional

growth and development. During initial two decades the efforts were concentrated on expansion

of higher education and foundation of new colleges in different parts in the four districts under

its jurisdiction. The University consolidated its base in this phase by 'taking education to the

people'. The decade of 1980s saw a major expansion, especially the growth of professional

faculties like Engineering, Education, Management and Medicine. The recent phase of the

University can be termed as "a pursuit of academic excellence". Since last 4-5 years, several

attempts are being made to overcome the image of University as a regional University.

Several steps have been taken to raise the standards of teaching and research so as to measure

upto global standards.

In 1962 the University started functioning with 34 affiliated

colleges and about 14000 students with 5 Post-graduate

Departments on the campus. Today the number of affiliated

colleges has gone upto 225 and students strength upto

2,00,000 with 34 Postgraduate Departments on campus. The

University imparts education in 10 major faculties of Arts,

Social Science, Science, Commerce, Education, Fine

Arts,Law, Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Engineering and

Technology.

The faculties of Arts and Social Sciences are also gearing up

to meet the demands of changing time. Establishment of

Centre for Women's Studies and extension activities through

Adult and Continuing Education and Shramik Vidyapeeth are

indicators of this change. Department of Economics has been

selected by UGC for its Special Assistance Programme.

Departments of Sociology, Education, Geography, Physics

and Economics are offering special courses in emerging areas

like Environmental Science is also functioning actively.

The University's efforts towards excellence are being

recognised by the substantial grants received from funding

agencies like UGC, DST, DBT etc. The another indicator of

recognition of University is collaborations with premier

institutes in the country. Shivaji University has recently signed

MOU with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai for

research in Material Science. Shivaji University has been re-

accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council

(NAAC) Bangalore, with B grade (2009).
