1. MISSION AND HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENT

(a) Mission
Active and productive pursuit of intellectual, professional and social work
to make a positive contribution to public policy by leveraging proven
leadership qualities, four decades of wide ranging experience and expertise
as well as analytical and communication skills towards the highest level of
professional excellence, efficiency, productivity and effectiveness in the
widest interest of my country, India.

(b) Highlights of Achievement
From a modest start as a Dalit (former Untouchable) boy reared in the
Mumbai slums broke various glass ceilings in the upper echelons of the
financial, academic and literary communities in the national as well as
international arena through single minded dedication to excel using own
intelligence, perseverance, leadership qualities, unconventional thinking
and communication skills.
Hon. Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh commented in 2005:
“Like the life of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, or indeed the life of our beloved
former president, the Late Dr. K.R. Narayanan, the life story of Dr. Jadhav
is also a story of change, of great courage, of progress, of hope …… I urge
all political leaders and social reformers to read both the autobiography
of Dr. Jadhav and his treatise on ‘Re-Emerging India’. We must draw the
correct lessons from both. Narendra’s autobiography must shape our
social and political vision. It must shape our educational policy. His book
on the Indian economy must shape our thinking on economic policy.”

(iii) Educationist and Administrator: Vice Chancellor,
Savitribai Phule Pune University (From August 2006-
June 2009)

Dr. Narendra Jadhav was the Vice Chancellor of Savitribai Phule
Pune University, (then, University of Pune) which is a premier institution
of higher education and the largest traditional University in India now
with 7,00,000 students, 700 + affiliated Graduate Colleges and 330
Recognized Institutes.

After taking over as the Vice Chancellor, in August 2006, Dr. Jadhav
placed two principal objectives before himself: one, to place the University
of Pune on the global map as a Center of Excellence, and second, to bring
the University out of its splendid isolation and make it directly responsive
to the ever-changing societal needs. Accordingly, Dr. Jadhav took several
far-reaching initiatives aimed at improving the access (e.g. through
“Education Guarantee Scheme” for the underprivileged youth) and quality
of higher education, (e.g. through a complete revision of all 484 curricula
with involvement of relevant industry), and promoting the research
environment, (e.g. through innovative financial incentives).

Dr. Jadhav followed a dynamic marketing strategy so as to place the
Savitribai Phule Pune University on the Global Map. There were more than
14,000 foreign students from 102 countries studying at the Savitribai Phule
7
Pune University. A Campus of the University of Pune was set up in United
Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2009. As Vice-Chancellor Dr. Jadhav visited
Austria, China, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, South Africa,
Sweden, UAE and the USA during his tenure of 33 months. Several
collaborative arrangements with the globally reputed educational
institutions were established and effort was made to widen their
geographical spread and functional scope. Not surprisingly, Savitribai
Phule Pune University emerged as the most favoured destination for
foreign students coming to India. More than 40 per cent of the foreign
students coming to India enroll in the Savitribai Phule Pune University
alone!

Social Initiatives
As a flagship program of the University, an ambitious ‘movement’
styled, ‘Samarth Bharat Abhiyaan’- a comprehensive rural
development program, was launched for directing the youth power
towards constructive social engagement in the rural areas. Under the
Abhiyaan, all colleges adopted one village each in their vicinity for all-
round socio-economic development. In all, around 500 villages were
adopted. A 15 Point Program was drawn which covered, inter alia primary
education, tree plantation, water management, sanitation facilities,
communal harmony and the like. This movement involved more than half
a million students and teachers, and senior citizen volunteers working
throughout the year in the chosen village with the locals and the
government machinery, NGOs active in the relevant field, and
endeavouring to bring about a complete transformation. The results were
8
most encouraging (e.g. more than 7, 00,000 saplings planted and 190
villages made Nirmal Grams).

A unique and innovative Soft–Skills Program for Personality
Development of the students was also initiated by Dr. Jadhav, wherein
students from rural areas, socially disadvantaged groups and economically
poor strata of the society were chosen for an intensive fifteen-days training
program and outside experts were invited to impart training in
Conversational English, Techniques of Interview and Group Discussion
and Overall Personality Development. Personality Development Centres
have been established in 200 colleges.

Another path-breaking decision taken by Dr. Jadhav as the Vice
Chancellor was to provide scholarships of Rs One crore (US$ 140,000) to
the girl students at the Under-Graduate and Post-Graduate levels. Under the
Scheme, scholarships of Rs. 5000/- each were awarded to 2000 girl students
per year. A special feature of this Scheme was that 30 per cent of the total
amount was especially reserved for daughters of Devdasis, Prostitutes
and women affected with HIV.

Yet another socially relevant unique program initiated was Senior
Citizen Centre. The Center catered to the felt needs of the large and
growing body of Senior Citizens. The Center engaged Senior Citizens in
five different activities: One-day workshops on health and personal
financial management; Three months Certificate Programs of their choice
(e.g. Indian History, Culture, Philosophy, Religion and the like); a Special
Ph.D. Program for Senior Citizens with relaxed entry norms; Teaching
9
public at large under Adult and Continuing Education Program, and
Working as volunteers in the Samarth Bharat Abhiyaan.

Dr. Jadhav also launched an ambitious Triple Connectivity
Program, connecting the Main Campus with all affiliating colleges and an
Information Technology enabled Services (ITES) program in collaboration
with CISCO and several vocational courses for Entrepreneurial and
Technician Development, especially for high school drop-outs.

In the wake of the terrorist attack on Mumbai in 2008, Dr. Jadhav
initiated the process of establishing Centre for Internal Security aimed
at creating a Think Tank, training all college students in Disaster
Management and creating awareness among the public at large. Most of
these innovative schemes were appreciated by the Government and are
being adopted by all other State Universities in Maharashtra.

(iv) Economic Policy Maker and Administrator

For 31 years, Dr Jadhav worked with the Indian Central Bank (i.e.
Reserve Bank of India) and other Central Banks (i.e. Da Afghanistan
Bank and National Bank of Ethiopia) besides working for 4 ½ years in
advisory capacity in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) (1998-
2002). Dr. Jadhav took voluntary retirement from RBI in October 2008
from the position of Principal Advisor and Chief Economist in the rank
of Executive Director.
