पुस्तक परिचय: एक होता कार्व्हर / वीणा गवाणकर
अधिकाधिक उपभोगांच्या हव्यासामुळे, एका विचित्र वळणावर सारी मानवजात येऊन ठेपली आहे. आता आपल्या सर्वांपुढे केवळ दोनच पर्याय उरलेले आहेत. नैसर्गिक साधनसंपत्तीचा विनाश करणा-या आजवरच्या या आत्मघातकी मार्गावर हताशपणे वाटचालकरायची किंवा परत मागे फिरून काव्हरने दाखवलेल्या नैसर्गिक साधनसंपत्तीच्या संवर्धन-विकास-उपयोग-पुनर्भरण या शाश्वत कॄषिसंस्कॄतीचा स्वीकार करायचा. भावी पिढयांच्या सुख-समॄद्धीचा पाया घालायचा असेल तर प्रत्येक सुजाण नागरिकाने वाचायलाच हवे असे पुस्तक.
Held more than 30 years ago, Veena Gavankar’s biography of African-American scientist and agriculturist George Washington Carver, has remained one of the bestsellers in Marathi literature even today.
A gripping story about a man and his determination to succeed amidst hardship and hurdles, the book not only captures the essence of perseverance, but also beautifully portrays how the desire and a thirst for knowledge indeed, does lead to greatness.
Dubbed by the Times magazine in 1941 as the “Black Leonardo”, Carver’s contributions to the fields of botany and agriculture are immense. His courage and conviction, to get an education in spite of growing up in a society ridden with prejudice and reeking with the aftermath of the apartheid, is astutely covered by the author.
Short, simple and neatly written, Gavankar has touched every aspect of the life and struggles of Carver, his achievements and his many talents. Known as the Peanut Man in America and all around the world today, Carver is said to be the man behind the development of the quintessential American spread, the peanut butter. His message - about persevering in the face of adversity and making something out of whatever one has in life - is simply but clearly depicted, and this biography has served as an inspiration to hundreds of Indians all over the country.
Ek Hota Carver, which began as a result of a mother’s search for bedtime stories for her children, has been on the best-selling Marathi literature for over 30 years, from the time it was first published. Soon to be available as an audiobook, Ek Hota Carver has also had the distinction of being run into 34 editions.

‘आयुष्य हा वनवास आहे!’
ही तर नेहमीचीच वाक्यं झाली. पण आयुष्यात रूप-रस-गंधाची, व्यक्ती-प्रवृत्तींची खूप गंमत आहे हे जाणवायला असं एखादं पुस्तकच हातात यायला हवं.
गेल्या काही वर्षांमध्ये विविध दिवाळी अंकांमधून प्रसिद्ध झालेल्या प्रसन्न ललितलेखांचा संग्रह. वाचल्यावर म्हणावंसं वाटेल, सहवास घ्यावा सुखाचा!

पुस्तक परिचय: जावे त्यांच्या देशा / पु. ल. देशपांडे
माझ्या पायावर चक्र आहे की नाही ते मला ठाऊक नाही. पण मला येणारे प्रवासाचे योग पाहिल्यावर एखाद्या ज्योतिष्याला पाय दाखवावेसे वाटायला लागले आहे. एक गोष्ट मात्र खरी. मी मायदेशात तसा बैठा माणूस आहे. परदेशात मात्र खूप हिंडतो. अधाश्यासारखा पाहतो आणि ऐकतो. नव्हे, पाहण्यासाठी हिंडतो. कुठे काय ऐकण्यासारखे आहे ते शोधत जातो. आणि जे काही ऐकले-पाहिले ते सांगायची मला ओढ लागते. आणि त्यातूनच माझे हे सांगणे ऐकणारेही भेटत आले आहेत हे माझे भाग्य!
ना वंशाचे, ना भाषेचे, ना धर्माचे, ना राष्ट्राचे असे कितीतरी लोक ह्या प्रवासात यथा काष्ठं च काष्ठं च म्हणतात तसे भेटतात. स्नेहाचा हात पुढे करतात. अकारण मने मोकळी करतात. आपल्या घराची दारे मोकळी करतात. कोण कुठला जर्मन आबिल, कुठली स्कॉटिश ब्रॉमलेबाई, हंगेरीतला गेझाकाका, पोन्नानेनी, डॉ. बेंके योशेफ आणि त्याची थेट पर्यांच्या राज्यातून उतरलेली छोटी एस्थेर... पुन्हा दिसणार देखील नाहीत... मन:पटलावर कायमची चित्रित झालेली पॅरिसमधल्या सीनच्या तीरावरची संध्याकाळ, कोण्या जपानी गेशाचा कानात वर्षानुवर्षे रेंगाळणारा तो ‘सायोनाऽऽरा’!...अनपेक्षितपणाने दिसलेला तो रोदांचा ‘थिंकर’... बर्लिनच्या ऑपेराहाऊसमध्ये ‘बार्बर ऑफ सॅव्हिली’च्या नांदीचे अप्रतिम वाद्यसंगीत ऐकताना अर्जेंटिनातल्या मारियाचे डबडबलेले निळे निळे डोळे... प्रतिभेचे थोर देणे लाभलेल्या एखाद्या साहित्यकाराने ह्यातून शब्दांची कितीतरी मोठी शिल्पे उभी केली असती-ती ताकद माझ्यात नाही याची मला जाणीव आहे. हा माझा विनय वगैरे नाही. भव्य कलाकृतींच्या दर्शनातून मला लाभलेले हे शहाणपण आहे. तरीही लिहिल्यावाचून राहवत नाही म्हणून हे पांढर्यावर काळे.

Marathi Bhasha Diwas Celebration
Marathi Bhasha Diwas is celebrated in honour of Marathi language.
SFIT NSS in collaboration with the Learning and Information Resource Centre celebrated ‘Marathi Bhasha Din’ on the occasion of the birth anniversary of noted Marathi litterateur V. V. Shirwadkar, popularly known as ‘Kusumagraj’ whose birthday falls on 27th February every year.
Ayush Mohite - student of T.E. ExTC welcomed all the dignitaries, faculty members and students. Our Government has started celebrating the birth anniversary of Kusumagraj as 'Marathi Rajbhasha Gaurav Din' after the Jnanpeeth awardee's demise in 1999.
From the year 2015 Government of Maharashtra - Marathi Language Section had instituted two special awards for individuals taking initiatives to promote Marathi literature.
The Vinda Karandikar Lifetime Achievement Award is conferred to Shri. Ranganath Pathare - a noted Marathi writer. This award consists of a cash prize of Rs. 5 lakhs, a memento and a Citation. Pathare has penned several novels, including Tamrapat which won the prestigious Sahitya Academy award in 1999. His 700-page long Satpatil Kulvruttant novel was published last year and has been receiving accolades from readers as well as critics.
The Shri. P . Bhagwat Award will be given to Shabdalay Prakashan at Shrirampur in Ahmednagar. This award consists of a cash prize of Rs. 3 lakhs and a Citation.
As part of the celebration, many students recited their self written poems. The judges - Dr. Kavita Sonawane (HOD - Computer Engineering) and Asst. Prof. Sunil Pansare (In-Charge HOD - Mechanical Engineering) and the staff members were enthralled to know the Marathi language skills of today's generation. Sahil Sawant - a student of T.E. ExTC co-ordinated the session of poetry recitation. Manasvi Bhand - a student of T.E. ELEC promptly recited the poems of the persons who were not able to join the session online. This Virtual Celebration brought together young and creative minds whose mother tongue was not Marathi. The following are such students whose mother tongue is not Marathi but they recited their poems with equal command and excellence in Marathi language:
Manas Acharya - B.E. CMPN
Sparsha Shetty - S.E. ExTC
Hasti Panchal - S.E. INFT
Bhavika Shetty - S.E. ExTC
The judges expressed their views about Kusumagraj and shared their experiences with all the students and faculty members. They also encouraged students to improve their Marathi communication and learning skills.
As a special request from the hosts - Aayush Mohite and Sahil Sawant, Dr. Kavita Sonawane recited her poem - Mee Marathi Mazi Abhijaat Marathi. She had recited this poem for a contest organized by Ashwaghosh Kalakruti.
The Virtual Celebration ended with the video of Marathi Abhimaan Geet - a song written in Marathi by the noted poet Suresh Bhat and composed by well known composer Kaushal Inamdar.
