As urbanization take its rapid toll relocating people from rural to urban areas, thereby increasing the work force in prominent cities of the country; the development quotient of the rural areas depletes even more. However, India’s 63 percent of the GDP comes from only the 31 percent of the urbanized population clearly stating that urbanization cannot be the single raft of the boat leading to development which ignores rural sustenance. Thus a need arises to create resources for a balanced form of development in the country and adding their own share of resource creation is Babasaheb Naik College of Engineering for the rural population in Yavatmal, Maharashtra.

Babasaheb Naik College of Engineering is a premiere engineering institute of the region started in 1983 under the trust Janata Sikshan Prasarak Mandal, mainly to serve the rural population residing in and around the region. Yavatmal once regarded as the safest place in the world under the Bahmani Sultanate in 14th century, has witnessed the sweet and sour history of the country’s independence and urbanization has taken its own pace. Even after the advent of urbanization, the rural area accounts more in this region and needs much attention for development, education being the foremost choice to bring in the same.

The institute offer courses on UG, PG and PhD in various subjects such as civil, mechanical, electronics and telecommunication and many branches of engineering and are recognized by the Institute of Engineers India (IEI). The Department of Electronics and Telecommunications has been exceptionally successful in producing more number of professionals every year and providing consultancy in design & development of electronic circuit, manufacturing of PCBs and design & installation of electrical wiring & equipments.

Unlike any other institute situated in a rural area, Babasaheb boasts of highly qualified and competent group of faculty members with expertise in their field of interest.

As a part of the opportunities, the faculty members regularly undergo training programs, workshops, seminars and other faculty development programs.

An important aspect of the institute is that all the students and staff are encouraged for research works. In addition to PhD programs in mechanical, civil, electronics and communication, computer engineering, applied physics and chemistry; there are a number of research papers published in leading reputed national and international journals. The institute has also taken up some sponsored research project based on paramedical, UGC sponsored research on signal processing , data scheduling in computer engineering, concrete technology and so on proving the not-so need of urbanization where one can create so much in rural India.
