    13.04.2026: The Governor of Maharashtra and Chancellor of Universities Jishnu Dev Varma, emphasized that only one or two universities from the state currently feature in national rankings, and this scenario must change. He noted that although cluster universities are relatively new, their affiliated colleges are well-established and reputed. Therefore, these universities must make concerted efforts to improve their standing in national rankings. The Governor was speaking at a review meeting of four cluster universities of the state held at Lok Bhavan, Mumbai. The meeting was attended by Dr. Hemlata Bagla, Vice-Chancellor of HSNC University; Prof. Rajneesh Kamat, Vice-Chancellor of Dr. Homi Bhabha State University; Chandrakant Dalvi, Provost, and Dr. Gnyandev Mhaske, Vice-Chancellor of Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil University, Satara; and Dr. D. T. Shirke, Vice-Chancellor of Warana University, Warananagar along with other university officials. Highlighting the goal of a Viksit Bharat, the Governor stressed the need for complete eradication of tuberculosis (TB). He urged cluster universities to actively involve students in the “TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan.” He suggested organizing poster competitions, jingles in Marathi and Hindi, and other innovative activities to promote awareness. During the meeting, the universities made presentations covering implementation of the National Education Policy, innovative courses, best practices, research projects, skill-based programmes, student enrolment, notable achievements, and collaborations with national and international institutions.
