Ratnagiri district is set to get the country’s first maritime university spread across 50 acres of land,  which it will share with a government law college, MLA and Ratnagiri Guardian Minister Uday Samant said on Saturday.

A few months ago, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had visited Ratnagiri district where the demand for these institutions was brought up. Samant said the Chief Minister approved both demands on Wednesday.
