Our Founders

"Great men are destined to shape the course of history," and born into a humble agriculturist family in Kolhapur, my journey has been fueled by a vision far greater than myself—a vision to contribute lasting value to society through education. I have always believed that quality education is the cornerstone of progress, and my mission has been clear: "To provide education in all fields that empowers individuals and transforms lives." I attribute this vision to the blessings of Shri Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon, whose guidance has always been my beacon.

As you embark on your educational journey, remember that education is not just about acquiring knowledge; it is about shaping your character, your future, and ultimately, your contribution to the world. The Dr. D. Y. Patil DnyanPrasad University stands as a testament to this mission. We strive to create an environment where each of you can not only learn but thrive and lead in your chosen fields.

I hope you carry the values of hard work, integrity, and social responsibility in all that you do. My greatest joy lies in seeing you all succeed and make meaningful contributions to society. Let us continue to work together towards a brighter future.

Founder President Profile

"Great men are born to lead" and so the birth of Padmashree Dr. D. Y. Patil in an affluent agriculturist family of Kolhapur was the beginning of great things to come. Padmashree Dr. D. Y. Patil did not rest on his laurels as a social worker but dreamt of contributing better values to the society. Thus began a vision "To endow the people with quality education in all fields". Padmashree Dr. D. Y. Patil attributes this to the blessing of a great saint of Maharashtra, Shri Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon. His dreams have been realised under the umbrella of a prestigious education foundation called Dr. D. Y. Patil Unitech, which runs various institutions in Kolhapur, Navi Mumbai and Pune.

Padmashree Dr. D. Y. Patil is a pioneer in ushering an era of privatisation of technical education in Maharashtra. He is a philanthropist, educationist and social worker. Under his able guidance, the Unitech has more than 75 academic institutions of international repute from kindergarren to post graduation in various disciplines in Pune. For this contribution to the cause of education, Dr. D. Y. Patil was honoured by the President of India with the Padmashree in 1991. He was also conferred with two doctorate degrees in Philosophy, the first by The World University Round Table (USA) in 1985, and the second by a University in Britain in 1996.
