Symbiosis Institute of Mass Communication
Years of Establishment:  1991

Description

The word 'Symbiosis' is a biological term to describe a mutually beneficial co-existence of two living organisms. To those who know Symbiosis, and its founder Dr Shantaram Balwant Mujumdar, it is not surprising that he chose this word. Dr Mujumdar was a professor of botany in the well known Fergusson College in Pune, in 1971, when an extraordinary incidence inspired him to start an International Cultural and Educational Centre. He named it Symbiosis. It was to be a home away from home for the international students who came to study in India. Symbiosis is a unique space where foreign students can exist in harmony with Indian students.

You can read more of this fascinating story in Dr Mujumdar's own words in his book 'Symbiosis - Biography of an Idea' (Macmillan India Ltd).
