A daily newspaper used to be published from Karad For some time but it has found a more congenial home in Sangli now. Most of these journals generally follow the Congress policy and accept it as serving the best interests of the country. Some are devoted to specific causes like Bhoodan and Sarvodaya, while two have leanings towards the Hindu Sabha. Wai which is a centre of ancient learning and was the home of the late Swami Kevalananda alias Narayan Shastri Marathe has always prominently figured on the academic map of Maharashtra.

periodical conducted by the Pradnya Pathashala deserves special
mention in this connection. [The names of the various newspapers and periodicals are Aikya,
