Some journeys begin with a building.
Some begin with a vision.
More than four decades ago, a vision took shape in Nagpur — a vision to make education not merely a means to earn a living, but a means to build lives, character and a better society.
At the heart of that vision was Shri Banwarilal Purohit, Founder & Chairman Emeritus of Ramdeobaba University.
Long before Ramdeobaba University became a university, the Shri Ramdeobaba Sarvajanik Samiti, established in 1967, had already been working with a larger purpose — to serve society and create opportunities for meaningful education.
Then came 1984.
Under the visionary leadership of Shri Banwarilal Purohit, the Samiti established what was then known as Shri Ramdeobaba College of Engineering and Management. It was a beginning rooted in a simple but powerful belief: that quality education could transform not just students, but communities and generations.
What began as an institution grew into a legacy.
Classrooms became places where dreams found direction.
Teachers became mentors.
Students became engineers, managers, researchers, entrepreneurs and leaders.
And year after year, the institution grew — while holding on to the values with which it began.
From its early years in technical education to becoming an autonomous institution, from building a reputation for academic excellence to embracing innovation, research and emerging technologies, the journey kept moving forward.
And in 2024, that journey entered a new chapter as Ramdeobaba University — carrying forward a legacy that had been nurtured for four decades.
Today, as we mark 42 years of Ramdeobaba, we are not simply celebrating the passage of time.
We are celebrating every student who walked through these gates with a dream.
Every teacher who shaped a young mind.
Every parent who placed their trust in this institution.
Every alumnus who carried its values into the world.
And every person who became a part of this extraordinary journey.
Because 42 years ago, an institution was founded.
Today, a legacy continues.
