Nagpur University was established on 4th August
1923. As it was established in Nagpur, therefore it was
named as Nagpur University. Sir Vipin Krishna Bose was the
first chancellor of this university. At that time there were
only four streams of education available viz., Arts, Science,
Home science & combined. There were only six colleges
having these streams:
(1) Nagpur's Hislop college,
(2) Morris college,
(3) Victoria science college,
(4) Jabalpur's Robertson college,
(5) Spain training college,

Four years after Nagpur University’s establishment, famous
businessperson Sir Jamshedji Tata had donated Rs. one
lakh for the construction of this building. Due to this
donation, the main administrative building in front of Maharaja Bagh was
completed. On January 1929, this building was erected.
