About Radhanagari Mahavidyalaya

Radhanagari Mahavidyalaya is a private aided institution in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, established in 1991. Campusbells lists it under General.

Radhanagari is a town and the headquarter of Radhanagari tehsil in the Radhanagari sub division of Kolhapur districtin Maharashtra.

His Highness RajarshiShahuMaharaj (26 June 1874 – 6 May 1922), the visionary king of the Kolhapur Princely State founded the village Radhanagari.

Looking at the concept of water reservoirs in Europe, Rajarshi Sahhu was very much impressed and decided to construct such kind of reservoir in his kingdom for the purpose of irrigation.

The existing site of the reservoir was shown to the architect of modern India, Sir Moukshagundam Vishweshrayya, who finalised the location and drafted the plan.

Rehabilitation of the families coming under the reservoir zone was a serious problem and which was resolved by establishing a new village, the present day Radhanagari, named after the daugher of Rajashri Shahu. For the workers, technicians who came for the construction of Laxmi reservoir, and for the nearby villages, Radhanagari emerged as a prominent market place.
