Mentioned below are a few points that will give you an insight into pune city life.

1)Shadow of Mumbai : Pune enjoys the pride of location in the country, being located in the shadow of Mumbai. The shadow, provides for the easy transfer of knowledge base as well as the infrastructure, since these were readily available in Mumbai. Accessibility to Mumbai, provided a strategic fillip and a shot in the arm to Pune. It is magical that the positive aspects were readily accepted in Pune while the shadow somehow eliminated the negative infringements that were associated with education in Mumbai. Pune nevertheless provides as an educational resort.

2)Historic Perespective : Historically, Pune was a seat of learning for the Maharashtrians, the Brahmin culture that originally belongs to this place (remnants of which can be easily seen even today in the likes of various surnames that are associated with it), actually helped in promoting education.

In conjunction with the afforestation drive in the city proper to provide lucid support to the green hills that surround Pune, the city probably enjoys the best of climate the country ever knows.
