The North Maharashtra University is one of the upcoming
universities in India, the university was established on 15th August,
1990 under the Maharashtra University Act No. XXIX of 1989 as a teaching and affiliating
University. It actually started its academic and administrative activities under
the leadership of Prof. Dr. N. K. Thakare, the first Vice Chancellor of the
university, from academic year 1991-92. The jurisdiction of North Maharashtra University
is spread over three districts of North Maharashtra i.e. Jalgaon, Dhule and Nandurbar.
The university was shifted to its own campus in 1995.The university
is situated on the banks of river "Girna" and the campus of the university is spread
over a hilly terrain of 650 acres of land. Each building of the campus is well connected
through tar roads constructed by the University itself. The University is also well
connected to Jalgaon City by Asian Highway No. 46. The transport modes like City
Bus Service, Auto Rickshaws are available for employees, students, visitors.
The campus beautification is maintained through lawns and planting
various trees on the campus. More than two lac trees have been planted to conserve
the natural beauty and environment of the campus, for which the university was selected
for the "Vanashree Award " 2000 by Government of Maharashtra and "Indira
Priyadarshini Vriksha Mitra (IPVM) Award-2002" by the Ministry of Environment
and Forests, Govt. of India, New Delhi.
The Maharashtra State Electricity Board has installed a separate
sub-station to cater to the needs of electricity on the campus. As an alternative
source of electricity supply, three 125 KVs Diesel Generators are installed on the
campus. The university is approximately 10Kms away from the Jalgaon city. The pollution
free hilly terrain provides natural ambience which creates a perfect environment
for study. All Departments are equipped with all
modern facilities, required by students/visitors.

knowledge about the subjects to the students. The element of computer education
is also being added to B.A., B.Sc. & B.Com. courses. The syllabi of the courses
are revised from time to time as per the requirement.
The University has developed a model Examination System and is one of the few Universities
in the State for conducting examinations regularly and declaring the results well
in time as per the Maharashtra Universities Act, 1994. The action plan of the University
in this regard is serving as a prototype to other Universities in the State.
To improve the efficiency of work most of the functioning of

Schools/Departments, our faculty on the campus has till date successfully completed
many Research Projects funded by various funding
agencies. We have developed and transferred four technologies through University-Industry
linkage and made some more ready for transfer.
