The Rajaram College, which is maintained by the Kolhapur State, owes its origin partly to the growth and development of the Rajaram High School, and partly to the desire of Government to make a suitable provision for the education of Chiefs and Sardars in the Southern Maratha Country. The British Government having assumed the administration of the State in 1844, laid the foundation of Englsih education in 1851, by opening an English school in the town of Kolhapur. This in 1867 was raised to the status of a High School, called the Rajaram High School, after the lamented Rajaram Maharaj of Kolhapur, who while travelling in Europe died at Florence in 1870.

In 1880 the Government, on the recommendation of the Political Agent, raised the School to an Arts College, which was subsequently recognized in the Faculty in Arts of the University of Bombay for the purposes of the Previous Examination, and in 1883 it was further recognized for the purposes of the First Examination for the Degree of B.A.

The College is provided with a substantial and ornamental building which cost the Kolhapur State nearly five lakhs of Rupees, the foundation stone being laid in 1869 by the late Raja and the building completed in 1874.

Endowments.

Government has sanctioned the transfer of the sum of Rs. 760, being the annual interest on the so-called Sardars' Fund at Belgaum, where a Sardars' Class was opened some years ago.
