ThanX giving Ceremony

ThanX giving Ceremony



As you are aware that because of the Supreme Court’s Verdict on 14th Dec. 2012 , Parshvanath College of Engg. , Thane was closed from end of Dec. 2012.

This college faced various issues in the last 3 to 4 years including following :

- Various irregularities at the time of old trusty.

- Transfer of college from the old building to a new building.

- Transfer of trustees .

- Various other small , big issues till closure of the college.

- Various legal fights from the lower courts till Supreme Court.

Various press reporters regularly took this issues to the readers and for the same as a parent of a SON, I am very much obliged to all our press reporter friends.

You may be aware that in the verdict, Supreme court directed AICTE and DTE to transfer all students of Parshvanath Engg. Colleges to other colleges.


Accordingly DTE ( Directorate of Technical Education , Maharashtra State , Mumbai ) forwarded letter to Parshvanath College of Engineering to forward list of students of 2nd, 3rd and 4th year . And DTE transferred students of 2nd, 3rd, & 4th year students.


DTE informed college that students of 1st year will not be transferred as admissions of 1st year students were illegal.

DTE told few parents ( of 1st year students ) like me who contacted them that , one year of 1st year students will be wasted.

I would like to inform you that at the time of taking admissions in July, 2012, name of Parshvanath College of Engg. Was very much mentioned in the Brochure of DTE – 2012 which was released by them for CAP round .

Also note that for the 1st Sem. Exams, Mumbai University had given Admit Cards as well as exam of 1st semester was conducted by Mumbai University. Which was clear the admissions of 1st year students were not illegal.

As a parent of my SON – Sumedh – 1st year Mech. Engg. , I approached Shri. Sanjay Kelkarji – Ex-MLC – Maharashtra State seeking his help in this issue. He did lot of follow up with AICTE – Mumbai office, DTE , Shri. Mahajan – Director of DTE. But nothing moved.


Ultimately he took a delegation of parents and students ( I was also there in that delegation ) to Shri. Rajesh Tope – Minister of Technical Education . Briefed him, shown all documentary evidence. In front of us Shril Topeji, spoke with Mr. Mahajan – Director of DTE and later on spoke with Mr. Mantha – Chairman of AICTE and informed them to proceed with the transfer of 1st year students ( approx. 129 students ) .

Ultimately all students of Parshvanath got transferred to various colleges as per their 4 choices as per the transfer form given by DTE.

Now all students are attending their newly transferred colleges.

I would like to inform you that Thane was till date having only two colleges. One of these two is now closed. But unfortunately neither a single famous Political figure tried to save Parshvanath College of Engg. From getting closed nor helped students of 1st year of engg. When DTE refused to transfer them.

You will also agree that in INDIA , people rarely appreciate others who help them in various issues.


In this issue as Shri. Sanjay Kelkarji helped in saving college from getting closed as well as helped parents like us when DTE refused to transfer 1st year students.

I always believe in real appreciation. Accordingly my self with my SON SUMEDH, Mr. Milind Nagraj – A Parent of Saurabh Nagraj , and Mr. Sunil Gandhi – with his SON Viraj, visited office of Shri. Sanjay Kelkarji on 2nd Feb. 2013 to appreciate all his efforts and to say thank you for all his efforts.

We gifted him few books written by Shri. Neelkanth Khadilkar and a SHREEFAL .

With this mail, I have attached a photo of ThanX giving ceremony at office of Shri. Sanjay Kelkarji.

On 2nd Feb. 2013, we also visited house of Shri. Sameer Nanivadekar – PRO of Parshvanath College of ENgg. To say thanks for all his efforts towards saving college and transfer of 1st year students. We gifted him a book “ PRAKASHVATA” with autographs of Dr. Prakash Amteji and Dr. Mandatail Amteji with a SHREEFAL.

Now I will be visiting office of Nava Kal in Girgaum to say Thank you to Mrs. Jayshree Tai Khadilkar Pande – Editor of Nava Kal, who tried her level best to save Parshvanath College of Engg. From getting closed. ( She wrote EDITORIAL which will be sent to your by separate mail. ) Later on also she helped us lot during issue of transfer of 1st year students to other colleges.

I thought of sharing this with you as I strongly feel that everybody should try to appreciate others for their help , support .

Another important thing is the appreciation should be a real appreciation and not a FLATTERY.
