Pune: \u201cIn India\u2019s resilient and virtuous tradition, women have always upheld their households and families with strength and selflessness. Even though many were unlettered in earlier times, they were wise and talented, sacrificing greatly for their families,\u201d said noted writer and former president of the All India Marathi Literary Meet, Dr. Aruna Dhere, while inaugurating the newly built Urmilatai Karad Auditorium at MIT Art, Design and Technology University, Vishwarajbaug, Pune.
\nDr. Dhere remarked that because women like Urmilatai Karad gracefully managed the home front, men were able to pursue their dreams and attain success. \u201cUrmilatai was one such woman \u2014 a symbol of sacrifice and devotion. Her poetry collections reflect motherhood, compassion, and the spiritual traditions of the Warkari sect. Naming this grand auditorium after her ensures that her legacy remains alive among us,\u201d she added.
\nThe event was graced by several dignitaries including Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad, Founder-President of MAEER\u2019s MIT Group of Institutions; Padma Shri Bhawana Somaaya, senior film journalist; eminent poet Indrajeet Bhalerao; MIT-ADT University Executive President Dr. Mangesh Karad; and family members of the Karad family, among others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr. Mangesh Karad highlighted Urmila Kaki\u2019s selfless sacrifices, stating, \u201cIt is because of her blessings and strength that the Karad family flourished. While managing the household, she authored nine books, and this auditorium will help the next generation learn about her life and values.\u201d
\nPadma Shri Bhawana Somaaya praised the architectural design of the auditorium and fondly recalled Urmilatai\u2019s contributions. Poet Indrajeet Bhalerao emotionally recited a poem dedicated to her, beautifully portraying the sacrifices of women for their families.
\nThe program also witnessed the launch of Somaaya\u2019s book “Farewell Karachi,” based on India\u2019s Partition, by the esteemed guests. The event opened with a World Peace Prayer, and the welcome address was delivered by Dr. V. D. Pingle of Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad. Dr. Ashok Ghughe compare the event, and Dr. Suchitra Karad-Nagre offered the vote of thanks. The event concluded with the recitation of “Pasayadan.”<\/p>\n

A Jewel in Pune\u2019s Crown \u2014 Prof. Dr. Karad<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u201cThe Vishwarajbaug campus, once close to the legendary actor Raj Kapoor, now houses this architectural marvel. The auditorium reflects the essence of MIT-ADT University \u2014 art, design, and technology. It has added immense value to Pune\u2019s cultural and educational landscape,\u201d said Prof. Dr. Vishwanath Karad, applauding the efforts of the university\u2019s management.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
