History

Mahatma Jyotiba Phule was instrumental in establishing the college which started as just a branch of agriculture at College of Science in Pune in 1879. Years later, in 1907, the branch was transformed into a full-fledged college, known as College of Agriculture, Pune.[1] It was here that the Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth was formed, which was later shifted to Rahuri.[2] The Land for Agriculture College was given by the very well known Shiledar Shirole (Patil) family of Shivajinagar Pune who were Patil (Village Chief, Head of the Village) of the then Village Bhamburde Present Shivajinagar Area Pune and Shiledar (Warriors) of the then Maratha Empire.
