I am very glad to bring out the e-Book
Edition (CD version) of the Kolhapur District Gazetteer
published by the Gazetteers Department. This CD version is a
part of a scheme of preparing compact discs of earlier published
District Gazetteers. Kolhapur District
Gazetteer was published in 1960. It contains authentic and
useful information on several aspects of the district and is
considered to be of great value to administrators, scholars and
general readers. The copies of this edition are now out of
stock. Considering its utility, therefore, need was felt to
preserve this treasure of knowledge. In this age of
modernization, information and technology have become key words.
To keep pace with the changing need of hour, I have decided to
bring out CD version of this edition with little statistical
supplementary and some photographs. It is also made available on
the website of the state government www.maharashtra.gov.in. I am
sure, scholars and studious persons across the world will find
this CD immensely beneficial. I am thankful to
the Honourable Minister, Shri. Ashokrao Chavan (Industries and
Mines, Cultural Affairs and Protocol), and the Minister of
State, Shri. Rana Jagjitsinh Patil (Agriculture, Industries and
Cultural Affairs), Shri. Bhushan Gagrani (Secretary, Cultural
Affairs), Government of Maharashtra for being constant source of
inspiration.
