In order to fulfill one of the objects of the Society
regarding promotion of sports activities in Amravati District, Shri
Shivaji Education Society, Amravati has constructed a swimming pool
of Olympic standard. It has been named after the late Anant Panjabrao
Deshmukh, the son of the Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh. The Government of
Maharashtra also contributed Rs. 21,00,000/- for completing the swimming
pool.
Shivaji Printing Press
The Shri Shivaji Education Society, Amravati established
the Shivaji Printing Press in 1947. At the outset a capital expenditure
of Rs. 75,000 had to be incurred on the establishment of the Press.
On account of the increased activities of the Shri Shivaji Education
Society and heavy expenditure required on printing, a great need was
felt for the Society's own press.
Smruti Bhavan
The younger generation is sadly unaware or only half
aware of the life and times of Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh. To rectify
this situation, it was decided to during the centenary celebrations
of Dr. Deshmukh to erect a spacious Memorial for him. Among other
things, the Memorial complex would also display photographs of events
and activities related to his life, his work, his efforts towards
the nurturing and expansion of the Society, and his role as a Union
Agricultural Minister, Government of India. The Memorial complex has
been constructed under the supervision of Shri Shailendra Kolhe, architect
of Amravati
