| Introduction |
|
In the year
1916, Dr. Karve established SNDT
University with a vision to establish
an educational institution where
girls could blossom into confident,
self-reliant, responsible individuals,
who could later be a source of strength
to their families and community-“
Sannskrita Stri Parashakti”
( “An Enlightened Woman”
is a source of infinite strength).
After the University closed its
Hindi medium division in the year
1957-58, many students found difficult
to continue education after Matric.
It was at this juncture that Marwari
Sammelan, which always had been
in the forefront of propagating
and promulgating Hindi, came forward
to establish this Hindi medium college.
|
| In
1958, the College started pre-university
and first year classes on experimental
basis. Impressed by the proficiency
and dedication of the Sammelan,
Smt. Nathibai Damodar Thackersey
Women’s University granted
affiliation to pre-university classes
in 1960. Thereafter, F.Y.B.A and
S.Y.B.A classes were affiliated
in the year 1961 & 62 respectively.
In the year 1963 College received
a generous donation of Rs 75,000
from Smt. Bhagirathibai Manmal Ruia
Trust. As a reciprocating gesture
to this goodwill the college was
named after the founder of the trust
as ‘Smt. Bhagirathibai Manmal
Ruia College’. For almost
10 years this college operated from
Vidya Bhawan, Sitaram Poddar Marg,
Mumbai.
With the growing popularity the
strength of students also multiplied.
The limited space available at Vidya
Bhawan was now restricting the sky
high aspirations of the faculty
and students. In the year 1968 the
College was shifted to the present
location, Krishna Kunj, Vachha Gandhi
Road, Mumbai-7 and the small building
of the College soon grew 5 storeys
tall. To cater to the diverse academic
needs of the students, the College
started Higher Secondary classes
for Arts and Commerce, ie. Junior
Classes along with the Degree Courses.
As an appreciation for the high
standard of education and all-round
development of the students, the
SNDT University granted permanent
affiliation to the College in June
1979. The college further introduced
number of vocational courses in
Commerce with the financial support
of U.G.C. in June 1998. In addition,
the College now has many self financed
Courses (both Hindi and English
medium) to prepare the students
to confront the continuously changing
challenges of present dynamic environment.
