Pune is the fastest growing cosmopolitan in the country today. The presence of FTII (Film and Television Institute of India) for a very long time has generated an unparalleled “intellect” Cinema audience base. This ‘Oxford of India’ is home to many colleges dating back from the 1800s, including Deccan College, College of Engineering and the Ferguson College. The Department of Meteorology was moved from Simla to Pune in 1857. This hub of knowledge was described by Mahatma Gandhi as “a beehive of dedicated workers for a noble cause”.
