Marathi Vishwakosh

The Marathi Vishwakosh (lit. 'Marathi Encyclopedia') is an online free encyclopedia in Marathi language, funded by the Government of Maharashtra, India.[1][2]

The project to create the encyclopedia started as a print project and was inaugurated in 1960, and Lakshman Shastri Joshi was named the first president of the project. The first volumes were published in 1976, and eventually 18 volumes were published by 2010.[3][4] The encyclopedia began publishing the existing volumes on the internet on October 25, 2011, as announced by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra in Mumbai.[5] Currently nineteen volumes of the encyclopedia are available online on the Internet.
