History[edit] Maharashtra state was lacking an independent Sanskrit university before 1997. After the efforts of experts, KKSU was established on 18 September 1997 and named after Kalidas, a legendary poet and Sanskrit pundit whose poems and dramas are praised all over the world. It is believed that he wrote his poems while in the town of Ramtek — the reason for establishing the university at this place.

Shrikant Jichkar was the first vice-chancellor of KKSU.[citation needed] Pankaj Chande was the vice-chancellor till 2012.[citation needed] From January 2013, Uma C. Vaidya was the vice-chancellor of KKSU till Sept.2017.[citation needed] Since December 2017 Shrinivasa Varkhedi is the vice-chancellor of KKSU.[1]
