Student Reviews & Testimonials
Manvi Karmankar
Best university ever!with best service and good staff... Beautiful area and clean department
Akash Abhare
The Gondwana University has been conceived and formed with a foresighted view to cater the aspirations of the economically so also socio-culturally backward districts of Gadchiroli and Chandrapur. Though the network of Governmental agencies have been constantly trying to execute the state welfare policies of an all inclusive development, the resultant progress has been sluggish compared to other areas of the state. This lag has created a host of socio-political tensions and problems as is seen in the rise of Naxalites violence. Though a speedy all inclusive growth is a right answer to all this it cannot be achieved without apt vision and well-tailored methodology. The formation of a new university is therefore a right step in the direction.
