ADCET,Ashata

Having accomplished high reputation in western part of Maharashtra state as on today, it is imperative to look back to the development of ADCET on time scale from its just born state in the year 1999. With a view to make available enormous opportunities for the rural masses in higher technical education, Honorable Shri. Annasaheb Dange, a social reformer in true sense, vowed to establish an ambitious project of an engineering college at this interior though, but well connected place Ashta, District – Sangli. In 1999, the year of its inception, the college started more or less in just a make shift type of structure. Despite of obvious hardships of infancy, the management, Sant Dnyaneshwar Shikshan Sanstha, Islampur did not look back and went ahead with constructing a full fledged building at once. With the fastest speed, the construction was completed at the start of the year 2001. The classes had in fact started in the new building since academic year 2000. With initial 3 UG programmes namely Mechanical Engineering, Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering and Information Technology. Computer Science and Engineering was added in the year 2001 and Electrical Engineering was added in 2004.

With its dedicated faculty, staff and sincere efforts of students put together it can be evidently said that the place Ashta has some thing special in it that makes people work harder. This fact was undoubtedly recognized by the university results of the first ever outgoing batch in the year 2003. The enviable features of these results were that overall result was 98.5%; all the students without exception passed in first class; and 85% out of pass were in distinction. The success is still more noteworthy as it has been consistently maintained by the successive batches. In these hardly 8 years, the college has been able to lift up its status by earning several laurels to its store. Few among them are ISO 9001-2000 certification, all-time high academic performance every successive year, and SAMAJA-SHREE award earned by the Ex-Principal Dr. V.N. Bapat, from Indian Council of Management Executives, Mumbai. The college, as per its own vision, is poised to obtain the reasonable reputation in the state and further in the country in a period of about 5 years.

History of SANGLI

We do not find any direct references of Sangli before 1801. Historical references since 1024 show areas called Mirinch i.e presently Miraj and Karhatak i.e. Karad under the areas rules by Gonk a Shilahar king and sangli was included in these areas. The first clear and direct refernce to sangli can be found in the sankrit poem Shiv-Bharat . During the time of Shivaji Maharaj, his courageous Sarnoubat Netaji Palkar captured Sangli, Miraj and Brahmnal from the Adilshah in 1659. In the times of Peshwas, Indroji Kadam and later Sardar Patwardhan became the 'Jahagirdar' of this region. There are several interesting stories as to how the name Sangli originated. One of them is that, there were six (6) Gallies i.e. lanes on the bank of the Krishna River hence the name "SANGLI". The second one is that, the name of the village was Sangalki in Kannad language so in Marathi it became SANGLI. Another belief is that the confluence of Warna and Krishna rivers is near Sangli village. The word for confluence in Marathi is 'Sangam' and the SANGLI is the distorted version of the word Sangam. Till 1801, Sangli was included in Miraj Jahagir. The First Chintamanrao Appasaheb Patwardhan established a different principality with Sangli as the Capital city. An interesting fact was that in 1768, Haripur a nearby village was bigger than Sangli having population of 2000, whereas Sangli had population of 1000 only.

History Of Astha Municipal Council

History Of Astha Municipal Council

Astha Municipal Council

The town of Ashta is located in Walva Tehsil of Sangli District. The Ashta Municipal Council set up in 1853 is one of the oldest in the state. Though classified as a ‘C' Class Municipal Council it is more of like a large village with most of the land under agriculture use. The reason for it being established as council during the British Rule was to create an office for the collector and other senior officers of the Government and facilitate collection of taxes from Ashta. The town paid substantial agriculture tax owing to very good production of crops. Ashta is located in the fertile valley of the Krishna River at an altitude of approximately 500 m. Sangli district. Ashta is a small town having a population of 33203. Uran-Islampur a larger urban centre is about 30km north of Ashta within Walva tehsil. The district shares its southern boundary with Belgaum district of Karnataka State. The town has a mythological history and is said to derive its name from “Ashta” meaning eight “Lingas”. These eight “Lingas” are said to be established by Lord Rama on his way south during his exile. Ashta town is located at 17 0 15 ' North Latitude 74 0 25'East Latitude.
