While Baramati is the assembly constituency of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Dhananjay Munde is the elected representative from Parli in Beed district.
The decision to set up the veterinary colleges was taken during a cabinet meeting in Mumbai. The Maharashtra government also decided to allot Rs 617 crore for the two projects, PTI reported.
Around 75 acres will be made available for the proposed college in Parli while 82 acres will be allotted in Baramati. Both the colleges will have intake capacity of 80 students each.
A total of 276 posts have been sanctioned for the two colleges, including 96 teachers, PTI reported.
The announcement comes as a positive development for Munde who is facing flak following the arrest of his close aid Walmik Karad in the extortion case related to the murder of Beed Sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh.
