Kisan Veer Mahavidyalaya

Janata Shikshan Sanstha’s Kisan Veer Mahavidyalaya, Wai, established by Shri Kisan (Abasaheb) Veer, the veteran freedom fighter and by Tarkateertha Laxmanshastri Joshi, the then Chairman of the Maharashtra State Board for Literature and Culture and the Chief Editor of the Marathi Vishwakosha (Encyclopedia), is one of the best rural colleges affiliated to Shivaji University, Kolhapur. The pioneers showed exemplary zeal in promoting higher education in the rural population and took unprecedented efforts in mobilizing popular and monetary support for the development of the college premises.

Although the college made a humble beginning with only Arts and Commerce faculties way back in 1962, it soon added M. Com., M. A. (Marathi, English Hindi and Economics) and the Science Faculty. Hon. Shri Prataprao Bhosale, President of Janata Shikshan Sanstha, Wai and Hon. Shri Laxmanrao Patil, Vice-President of Janata Shikshan Sanstha, Wai have made a remarkable contribution to the changes in the infrastructure of the college taking into consideration the changing needs of the student population.
