Genesis

    A spectacular development is achieved through the establishment of agricultural processing co-operatives Founder Trusteesviz. sugarcane, cotton, oil seeds, food and vegetables. During 1950’s and 1960’s rapid expansion of the Sugar Industry occurred in the southern and western parts of India in general and Deccan plateau in particular. It became necessary to establish an organization that will satisfy all the scientific and technical needs of the Sugar Industry. The P.R.Ramakrishna Committee (1967) and the Sugar Industry Enquiry Commission (1974) appointed by the Central Government of India recommended in its report about forming such an organization in Southern India. The co-operative sugar industry in the Maharashtra State took initiative and forged an alliance under the leadership of visionaries namely, Padmavibhushan Late Dr.Vasantdada Patil, Late Shri.Shankarrao Mohite-Patil, Late Shri.Vishwanath Anna Kore, Late Shri.Ratnappa Anna Kumbhar, Shri.Yeshwantrao J.Mohite and Shri.Shankarrao G.Kolhe and established Deccan Sugar Institute (DSI) on 19th November 1975, which was renamed in 1989 as the Vasantdada Sugar Institute (VSI)....
