Yesterday was a day full of emotions, gratitude and a sense of pride for all of us! It was the 16th Death Anniversary of our visionary founder Dr. A. D. Shinde Sir.

50 years ago, a seed was sown in the fertile soil of a noble city, Kolhapur by Dr. A. D. Shinde Sir. He nourished that seed with his hardwork, dedication and a constant sense of social responsibility. Today that seed has grown into a huge tree with multiple branches, each providing robust backbone to a socially progressive fabric in different areas.

We thought the best way to commemorate Dr. A. D. Shinde Sir on his Death Anniversary would be to follow in his footsteps in the form of social service, knowledge worship and building of a strong team of motivated individuals.

The day started with Pushpanjali, a ceremony of spreading the fragrance of Dr. A. D. Shinde Sir's enriching work. A book exhibition was arranged to uphold the values of education and cultivate the habit of reading amongst students. A blood donation camp was organised to help those in need. The day culminated with Vibrant 1.0 - a platform where contribution is celebrated and minds are driven towards a common goal - building a great future society.

We thank Dr. R. A. Shinde (President & Managing Trustee), Mr. R. A. Patil Sir (Trustee), CA Mr. H. R. Shinde (Secretary), Dr. R. K. Tailor (Director), and other respected Trustees Dr. T. A. Shivare, Dr. B. P. Sabale, Dr. V. M. Hilage and distinguished invitees Dr. Sushma Keskar and Dr. Anil Keskar for their presence and invaluable support and guidance.

We also thank Dr. Vijaysinh Shinde, Dr. Prakash Shinde, Dr. R. G. Kulkarni for being present for the ceremony.

On the auspicious occasion of Vasanth Panchami, Saraswati Pooja was
organized on 23/01/2026, at the Prof. (Dr.) A. D. Shinde Memorial Central Library, CSIBER, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, in a spiritually enriching atmosphere, invoking blessings for knowledge, wisdom, and learning.
May Goddess Saraswati bless us all with wisdom and knowledge.
