History of the University Department of Marathi is as old as the History of the S.N.D.T. Women’s University. The Department of Marathi was a part and parcel of the . Women’s University since 1916. Prof. Vaman Malhar Joshi, a great litterateur, was colleague of Maharshi Dhondo Keshav Karve and was associated with his life mission. Very brilliant students like Godavari Ketkar, Krishnabai Khare, Balutai Khare were the students who graduated from the Women’s University in the first few years.
The Department of Marathi in Mumbai was established in 1954. It received help and guidance from Prof. N. R. Phatak, Prof V. G. Maydeo, Prof. Madhav Manohar, all the eminent personalities in the Literary world of Marathi.
Dr. Sakharam Gangadhar Malashe, an eminent scholar and a researcher in true sense of the term, did establish the department on a solid foundation after accepting the Headship in 1968. His tremendous efforts and zeal in pursuing the study of Modern Linguistics inspired his collegues to learn the Descriptive Linguistics of Marathi. This indeed was a pioneering work of Dr, Malashe to have started the teaching of this discipline. All the Universities in Maharashtra in due course followed the foot-steps of the Department of Marathi of S.N.D.T. W. University.
Dr. Vijaya Rajadhyaksha became head of the department in 1990. The Department witnessed a spell of vigorous activity during her regime. She gave wide publicity to the activities of the department. The department completed two research projects under her leadership and the findings were published in form of books. Dr. Vijaya Rajadhyaksha took a major lead in starting Dr.S.G.Malashe Research Centre at S.N.D.T. Women’s University.
Thus, this department with such a long tradition is making steady progress in the direction of fulfilling the promises it has held out so far.
Academic growth of the students, popularity of the work of the students and the department.
The department has been established in 1984. But it has changed its course from M.A. Art and Painting to M.V.A. Drawing and Painting from the year 2008, as a natural growth, since the university also has the bachelors programme in visual arts. Hence it has been only three years that the department has started with the master degree programme in visual arts, that is purely based on the creative aspect of the students. It also helps the student to be able to think and talk about their own work. The department has all the modern facility that will help student to work better, like computers better display facilities, audio visual teachings. The department is well balanced with two staff, one with more of theoretical orientation and the other one with practical orientation. Thus students get benefit with both the different stream of fine arts learning.
