Prof. (Dr.) N. J. PawarVice-Chancellor

Dear students,

I am pleased to welcome you to Shivaji University Kolhapur, a significant seat of higher

learning and research in South-west Maharashtra. I am particularly happy because this University

has made a tremendous progress during the last fifty years and, as a result, the University is known at national and international level for research achievements.

Resently several steps have been taken to enhance teaching and research in order to focus on the emerging fields like Industrial Chemistry, Space Science, Bio-Chemistry, Biotechnology,

Bioinformatics, Sericulture, Computer Science, Engineering and Electronics. The Department of

Physics has been recently identified by the UGC as a Department of Special Assistance (DSA). Super

conductivity, Energy, Bio-technology, Agro-biotechnology are identified as new research areas. The

University has also established University-Industry Interaction Cell in three districts under its jurisdiction. Eight science departments, viz. Botany, Physics, Bio-Chemistry, Statistics, Zoology,

Geography, Mathematics and Chemistry have received grants under FIST from the DST. The efforts

of the University towards achieving academic excellence are reflected in the receipts of grants from various funding agencies like UGC, DST, DBT, CSIR, DRDO, DAE and the collaborations with other premier national and international institutes in the form of MoUs with Asian Institute of

Technology, Bangkok; University of Adelaide and Monash University, Australia; Sabargamuwa

University, Srilanka; Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai; Goa University, Panjim; Intel India;

Microsoft India Ltd., Indian Institute of Geo-Mangnetism, Mumbai and Phyto Pharma, Kolhapur.Various departments of the University organize National and International conferences/

seminars in order to make students aware of the recent happenings in their respective areas

through interactions with the eminent scholars who are invited to deliver scholarly. You should take advantage of this exposure by active participation.

The University has also made its mark in research is terms of H index, citations and placement of postdoctoral students. The library is also equired with status of art scholarly

resources. In order to case the life of are research students we have initiated a unique DRF scheme

& special hostel for them. The lush green and sprawling campus of our Shivaji University creates

an ideal atmosphere for ‘education in the lap of nature’ which, I hope, will be maintained properly by your disciplined behavior.

On this occassion, I hope that the budding researcher will follow the research ethics. University has recently subscribed plagarism detection tools such as " Turn-IT- In "just to ensure

the same. The University has also IPR cell and clearly defined IPR policy in place.
