The Junnar city is itself having thousands of years of history. Satvahan Raje was the first King of Maharashtra state. Pratistan (Now Paithan) was the capital and Jirnanagar (Now known as Junnar) was the subcapital of his province. Junnar was also big and great place of commerce. The entire businessman from the globe were getting down on Kalyan port and carrying all belongings through Naneghat of Junnar. This ‘Naneghat’ had tax collection post. Therefore, it named as ‘Naneghat’. The Junnar tehsil is also having birth place of Greatest King Raje Shivaji. There are still many more things yet not known to the people. All the economy of this tehsil is only based on the agriculture and Agri related business. Maximum population of Junnar tehsil is below poverty line. This tehsil is also having several things to note. Therefore, researcher is going to collect authenticate information. This information will be about several aspects from history to present situation. The aspects like education, culture, agriculture, language, geography, politics, forts, biology, places, history, economics, religion, travel and tourism will be on higher priority in this study.

But this is unique project, which would only give all information related to Junnar tehsil under one umbrella. The Government of India and all the states are having travel and tourism Ministry for the development of concern state. Even maximum states have appointed ambassador for marketing their state. These experiments are re-energizing their travel and tourism industry.

As a resident of Junnar, Researcher have started to search information available on internet. I have received several resources of information on the net. But no single resource was their with detailed information of Junnar Tehsil. Therefore, I have decided to collect all the information and bring it under one umbrella. I made draft of project and submitted to

Savitribai Phule Pune University for research grant under ASPIRE. I express my respectful salutation and heartfelt gratitude to IQAC Cell, SPPU, Pune for giving a research grant for the project entitled as ‘Design and Develop a Web Portal for Junnar Tehsil: An Ideal Model.’

Maximum population of Junnar tehsil is agri-based economy. To bring prosperity among farmers Government of India recently passed bill related to basic cost of agriculture products to uplift farmers. Even agriculture scientists are also recommending to the farmers to have agriculture with allied business. Therefore ‘agri tourism’ concept is urged to evolve. The nature and qualities of the Junnar tehsil would certainly attract tourist to their agri tourism business by which economic situation will be leveraged. I hope that this project will fulfil all the goals.
