Introduction
Rajarshi Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj was the great king (1894–1922) of the princely state of Kolhapur of Maharashtra. Chh. Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj realized the importance of education for all. At present, the Government of India and state governments have adopted the same strategy of providing free primary education to all. But even now the objective has not been achieved. Political, social changes have in turn changed the nature of education and training. However, there are klar signals about the insufficient educational advancement in the nation. His Highness, the late Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, in spite of being a Prince of a small principality in the Deccan, was a great radical social reformer, an administrator of unequaled caliber and a champion of the cause of the backward and the downtrodden masses in Maharashtra. From 2nd April 1894 when he assumed power in the governance of the Kolhapur state to 1922, a period of 28 years, Rajarshi Chh
