MUMBAI: Fergusson University is how one among Maharashtra’s oldest and maximum iconic educational establishments will now be known. The Deccan Education Society’s Fergusson College, set up in Pune in 1885 via stalwarts equivalent to Lokmanya Tilak and Gopal Ganesh Agarkar, will likely be converted into a state college.
The Government Science College and St Joseph’s College, both independent institutes from Bengaluru, can be upgraded as universities. Each institute will obtain a grant of Rs 55 crore beneath the Centre’s Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyaan (RUSA), it used to be introduced on Friday. Two colleges from Mumbai, St Xavier’s and Mithibai, which had also applied for the college tag, had been kept in waiting. “Each of those establishments will obtain Rs 55 crore topic to their states enacting a State Public University Act in three months and filing an action plan for the establishments. If the same isn't achieved, institutes at the waiting checklist will likely be regarded as,” stated B Venkatesh Kumar, national co-ordinator of RUSA, which is implemented via the HRD ministry.

It started arts classes and later presented the science circulate. The faculty held those classes, for nearly ten years, in the previous Gadre Wada and different locations in Pune. Founders Vishnushastri Chiplunkar, Tilak, Agarkar, Mahadev Ballal Namjoshi and Vaman Shivram Apte taught in those classrooms.

But through the years, educational torpor set in, stated mavens, and though Pune University – to which Fergusson got affiliated in the 1940s – noticed its achieve exp and to many educationally under- served areas, it noticed little educational renewal. With a pupil inhabitants today of over 6,000 and about 200 lecturers, Fergusson College has for long sought after to break free from its mother college, now called the Savitribai Phule Pune University.
