Above all, Amravati is also identified as a sacred land as it is the birthplace of Saints like Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj and Saint Gadge Baba. As a recognition of the dissemination of Gadge Baba’s message of cleanliness and eradication of superstition, the Amravati University, to which our college is affiliated, was renamed as “Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Amravati”.
