Lal Bahadur Shastri College - Satara

Overview

Lal Bahadur Shastri College was established in June 1967 by Shri Swami Vivekanand Shikshan Sanstha Kolhapur, founded by Lt.Dr. Bapuji Salunkhe, a man who devoted all his life and mind to the education.His dream to establish first multifaculty College in Satara city came into reality after its establishment. The college building was inaugurated in auspicious presence of Smt. Lalitadevi Shastri. The first decade of post-independence India had many challenges to face. They were poverty, population, superstition, starvation and ill-health. It was realized by some visionaries that the root cause of all these evils was illiteracy. Spread of literacy and education in the first couple of decades without any financial assistance by the Govt, was almost a dream.
