The Business Park at Wani
(Ram Shewalkar Parisar)
In 1965 our beloved Chairman Principal Ram Shewalkar shifted to Wani as Principal of the local college. Till then he was working as a Professor at people’s college, Nanded. After shifting to Wani we were residing in a small house at Nagarwala Compound adjacent to the premises of Vasant Ginning Factory. Last year due to recent regulations of the government, Vasant Ginning had to shift their factory outside the city area and hence they decided to sell this land in a Public Auction. Despite a lot of competition we could come out as a successful bidder and purchased this land.
Born into a scholarly family, Shri, Ram Shewalkar began his humble career as a school teacher. The 78 years journey of his life made him the most sought after orator, a prolific writer and a respected thinker in Marathi literature.
He had delivered innumerable lectures all around the world, had written over 58 Books, had presided over more than 24 various committees and bodies and received 22 prestigious awards. In 2001 he was honoured with D.lit degree by Nagpur University.
Our Wani Project Developed on the ‘karmabhoomi’ of this legend, is dedicated to honour him, as “Ram Shewalkar Parisar -The Business Park”.
We intend to develop this project more as a monument than just a construction. We wish that this project besides catering to the retail and housing needs of the native population shall also come out as a Memorial of our beloved Chairman. Each building in this township is hence named after his various books. In the sprawling 2 acres space of common amenity of this project , we have planned to construct an auditorium with 350 seats capacity, an archival of all his works of books and audio, video Cd’s and a poetry garden in his name. The junction of the wide roads of this colony would have his statue and it would be named as “Ram Shewalkar Circle”.
