But it is that involves deliberation and much hesitation. The Symbiosis journey however began with a surge of enthusiasm support on by an incident that in itself, makes poignant tale It is an inspiring tale and in the words of Padma Bhushan Dr. S. B. Mujumdar , the founder of Symbiosis, it says: It was afternoon on a hot day. I was standing near a window of my house overlooking the rst hostel block, of which I was the rector. A strange thing happened a girl walked up to the window of the boys hostel room. Quickly handed over something and disappeared My curiosity was aroused and I kept watching the girl walking up to the window day after day and suspected , like my other rector would ,that an affair was afoot So one day I made up my mind and walked up to the door and knocked When the door opened, I saw a Mauritian student lying on the bed. His face was pale and his eyes seemed to have sunken low. I was puzzled! When I turned to the boy for explanation, he said, sir, I have an attack of jaundice and I am feeling extremely weak. I cannot stand up, nor walk a few steps. A girl from my country brings me food. However, since ladies are not allowed to enter the boy's hostel, she hands over the lunch box through window. I was stunned, after all, it wasn't a type of 'affair' I had expected. I was very much pained and decided something had to be done about this. “that was instance! A golden moment! “Symbiosis was born”. Symbiosis is term in science, meaning 'living together of two different organisms for the benet of each other. Dr. S. B. Mujumdar, himself a Professor of Botany. Through this name apt for the institution. Thus the institution was founded to alleviate the problems faced by foreign students coming to India.
