Activities of the Department

Marathi Vangmay Mandal is an important association of Ramnarain Ruia Autonomous College. It has a rich tradition from the very beginning. It is an age-old association which has been there right from the inception of the college. We have been the recipients of many prestigious awards and prizes through various competitions including overall championships viz. ‘Naandi’, ‘Jallosh’, ‘Maay Marathi’, etc. The revised name for this association is ‘Marathi Bhasha ani Vangmay Mandal’. There has been a circular issued by the Government of Maharashtra that every college needs to have a Marathi Vangmay Mandal irrespective of having a Marathi department in the college. This is an important step to preserve the culture and the rich-tradition that the Marathi Vangmay Mandal offers. In our college Marathi Vangmay Mandal becomes an inseparable part of Marathi Department. It plays a vital role in shaping students personality.
