Management Council of the Solapur University has passed the resolution and

recommended the State Government to extend the name of “the Solapur University,

Solapur” as “the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar Solapur University, Solapur”. The

Government has also received representations from the peoples’ representatives

to give the name of the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar to the Solapur University,

Solapur.

8458 of 2018. During the hearing of the said PIL, a statement has been made on

behalf of the Government that the Sub-committee of Ministers would not take any

decision, unless all the concerned organisations are given an opportunity of hearing.

and decided to rename the said University as “the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar

Solapur, Solapur”.
