Deccan College Post-Graduate and Research Institute

Deccan College Post-Graduate and Research Institute, University and heritage site in Yerawada, Pune, India.

Deccan College Post-Graduate and Research Institute is a Victorian neo-Gothic building between Kirkee and Yerwada, its foundation stone laid on 15 October 1864. The light brown and grey stone facade has two levels of arcades: a lower row of larger pointed arches and an upper row of smaller ones, both on stone columns. A central tower rises from an octagonal carved stone base with a balcony, capped by a pointed red roof and finial, and the steep red roof runs to either side.

The facility was established in 1821 as Hindoo College under Mountstuart Elphinstone and received its current name in 1868 to reflect its connection to the entire Deccan region. This renaming marked how the institution had grown in importance as a center of learning that extended beyond its local area.

On the premises are two museums, the Museum of Maratha History and the Museum of Archaeology. The archaeology collections reflect the institute's own excavations, including the multi-year work at Rakhigarhi in Hisar district, Haryana, the largest Indus Valley civilisation site, begun before 2016.

The campus lies between Kirkee and Yerwada, near Yerwada in Pune. Two on-site museums, the Museum of Maratha History and the Museum of Archaeology, are the main parts open to outsiders; teaching and research departments serve enrolled students. Confirm opening arrangements with the institute before travelling, since access to the grounds is not guaranteed.

The college's boat club, the Poonah Boat Club, was the oldest in India; it has been discontinued and its site behind Shadal Baba Dargah is now overrun by slums. The campus also holds two museums, of Maratha History and of Archaeology, and since 2016 staff have taken part in excavating Rakhigarhi, the largest Indus Valley site, in Haryana.
