The Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada Univerity, formerly known as Marathwada University, was established in the year of 1958 at Aurangabad in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra with the motto “Knowledge is sacred & it is the source of enlightenment”. Marathwada region comprises 8 districts & was originally a part of the princely state of Hyderabad, then known as Nizam State. The economy of this drought prone area is based mostly on agriculture. The University Grants Commission declared the region educationally backward long time ago. In 1948, there was only one college providing education up to intermediate level. The students were required to go to Hyderabad, Nagpur, Pune & Mumbai for further higher studies. Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, veteran leader & architect of Indian Constitution, established colleges of higher education at Nagsen Vana campus, Aurangabad, in early 1950. Veteran freedom fighters Shri Swami Ramanand Teerth & Shri Govinbhai Shroff established colleges of higher learning subsequently. On this backdrop, this University was established to provide access to higher education for students from the rural agricultural families with social, economic & educational backwardness. The University was expected to give impetus for establishment of new colleges & institutions of higher learning. The University Grants Commission granted recognition to this University under 12 B of its act in 1959 as an affiliating University. In the year 1994, this region came to have a 2nd University – Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University at Nanded & then Marathwada University was renamed as Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University having jurisdiction over the 4 districts of Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed & Osmanabad. The main campus is located in a sprawling 700 acre plot at Aurangabad. This University has a satellite campus at Ratnagiri. During the last 4 decades, there has been a phenomenal growth in the University both in the physical & academic sense. The University has 28 departments under 13 faculties. It is offering about 29 postgraduate courses, 42 Ph D & 42 post doctoral programmes as well as some certificate & diploma courses, at a unit cost Rs 21,000/- per student. 2 of the university departments have SAP / ULP programmes.
