Popularly known as the oxford of east, centre of Marathi Culture and one of the largest software exporters in India. This conglomeration is responsible for all types of generations to get settled in Pune. The education and IT industry has allowed many students and youth to select Pune as their location of study or employment. The Maharashtra tourism during Ganesha Chaturthi organizes Pune festival which hosts classical dance, music & dramas.
Talking about religious places are Alandi and Dehu where Sant Dnyaneshwar and poet Sant Tukaram lived during the 13th and 17th centuries respectively. The attractions for Pune from past have been the heritage places of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Peshwas and Mughals viz. Shanivar Wada, Singhgad Fort, Lal Mahal and Aga Khan Palace.
Outer Pune have valleys of Lonavala and Khandala prominent destinations during monsoon also well connected by local train. Other amusements have several museums and parks including the Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park.
Food is a delight in Pune and a taste of different aromas makes everything delicious. Many well known hang out junctions with leading food joints of pizzas and burgers across the city including snacks from street vendors for all time famous vada pav, missal, dabeli and bhelpuri is a must to punekars.
Pune, Maharashtras IT and culture capital, is a vibrant, burgeoning city. The second largest city in Maharashtra, and eight largest in India , Pune has earned a number of soubriquets; “The Oxford of the East”, “The Pensioners Paradise” and “The Automobile City”. Home to numerous educational institutions, traditional heavy industries, cutting edge IT companies, dynamic BPO’s, stud farms, and an international meditation centre, alongside an Air-Force base, and an army Cantonment, the character of the city is as rich and diverse as its inhabitants. Students from all over the country flock its borders, its IT and BPO industry attract talent from all over the world. Over the last decade Pune has grown at an astronomical rate. Entire suburbs have sprung up where there existed scarcely a building or two a dozen years ago. The early lack of development in these fringe areas is responsible for the large self-contained housing complexes that now dominate Pune. Growth in Pune radiates outwards from the new IT parks. Employing thousands of highly paid professionals, these parks have created millionaires overnight, who like to enjoy their new success. Malls, multiplexes, pubs, bars and discos have mushroomed all over town. Retail is the next big story, and the city malls and supermarkets cater to every single segment of society. However, while the city’s industrial development is changing the face of the city, Pune is still primarily a university town.
The origins of Pune are clouded by the mists of time. However, we do know that a settlement existed where Pune now stands, as far back as the 6th century A.D. Numerous forts lie on the outskirts of modern Pune, some constructed as far back as 100 B.C.
The Lohagad fort, some 50kms outside Pune, was constructed by the Satavahana dynasty (who reigned over much of India from 230 B.C. till 190 A.D.). The Purandar fort, 20 miles SE of Pune, was built around 1350 A.D., during the reign of of the first Bahmani king, Hasan Gangu. The Torna fort, constructed in the the 13th century, lies some 40 miles SW of Pune in 1643.
Coins dating back to the mid 7th century show that Punnaka, a thriving agricultural settlement was flourishing by the 8th century. It was during this period that the Pataleshwar Cave Temple was carved out.
Mention of Pune crops up in history after that, however, it wasn't till Shahji Bhonsle (Shivajis father) appointed Rango Bapuji Dhadphale administrator of Pune in 1625 that it truly began to develop. Rango Bapuji Dhadphale oversaw the construction of the Kasba, Somwar, Ravivar and Shaniwar Peths.
He was followed by Dadoji Kondev, who built the Lal Mahal palace, in an effort to revitalize the city after capturing it for his pupil, Shivaji. Pune was Shivajis childhood home, and he made the Lal Mahal his home till in 1643, at the age of 16, he captured the Torna fort.

In fact, it has gone much beyond that, by venturing into areas like technology, architecture, legal studies, sports academy, management school, hospitality &catering school, etc.
Moreover, the group enjoys academic alliances with overseas universities that help bridge the educational and cultural divide between various countries and us. Some of the alliances include those with University at Buffalo, Tufts University, University of Seychelles, University of Central Lancashire and many more.
The group is proud to have not only met but also exceeded the norms set by the Government of India. And this has accorded it the status of Deemed University. This reflects the level of committtment and dedication the group has towards its objective. Currently there are three such deemed universities, at Navi Mumbai, Pune and Kolhapur, under the D Y Patil Group. The biggest advantage of this status is that the group can set up its campus anywhere across India and overseas.
With an aim to deliver sports programmes and promote all kinds of sports, the group has build a World Class Sports Complex at an approximate cost of USD 20 million.

About the Remote Center
Every Indian learner deserves to be given a chance to have the highest quality education. Scarcity of trained teachers critically hinders this national desire. This project envisions empowerment of teachers, through workshops conducted for thousands of teachers at one go, using a unique blend of technology and an innovative pedagogy. Thousands have experienced the effectiveness of this approach, and of the resulting open source contents.
The “Teach 1000 Teachers” programme was initiated by IIT Bombay in 2009 under the project, “Empowerment of Students/Teachers,” sponsored by NMEICT (MHRD.), to enhance the teaching skills of engineering faculty. Participants attend workshops conducted by expert faculty, in multiple remote centers. Lectures are delivered at IIT Bombay, using multi-way visual interaction. Tutorials and labs are conducted at remote centers by a local senior faculty, trained earlier by the expert.
This program has now grown to include 10,000 participating teachers. The main focus of this programme is to work with Engineering Colleges in the country to enhance the teaching skills of faculty in core Engineering and Science subjects.
Under the programme, IIT Bombay conducts ISTE workshops during the vacation period in summer and winter. Teachers attend the workshops at a designated Remote Center (RC), close to their own college.
A Remote Center (RC) is a place from where the participants/people can interact with the instructor (faculty at IIT) who is conducting the course or delivering a lecture from IIT Bombay. The live lectures are transmitted at Remote Centers using A-VIEW software.
Our College is a Remote centre for IIT Bombay and the Remote centre No: 1516
